January 5th 2024 (DM me to register) โ„ Launching my first WINTER themed Night Hike! These will be unique from UV Night Hikes I've been offering spring through fall. There's a ton of reasons why it's an exceptional experience to go on this night time forest adventure:
~
โ€ขDiscover a new way of looking at the natural world at night with thermal binoculars (similar to night vision)
~
โ€ขExperience the benefits of forest bathing (known as "Shinrin Yoku" in Japan) - to reduce blood pressure, decrease cortisol levels, increase immune health, increase beneficial heart rate variability, increase NKC (natural killer cell), regulates mood etc
~
โ€ขEnhance mitochondrial health with "Fire Bathing" or spending time around a wood burning fire which has benefits similar to infrared light therapies
~
โ€ขOpportunity for star watching
~
โ€ขFilter fresh mountain water for drinking
~
โ€ขEnjoy excerise and movement to interrupt sedentary winter habits
~
Several locations to explore and adventure with us this winter!
This past weekend was a spectacular hike up the mountain where 8 of us looked at wild edible & medicinal plants & fungi that can be found even during winter! Surprisingly, lots still to find (including potent adaptogenic plants, wild ginger, and even edible mushrooms + much more)

This 2024, upgrade your life with one of the most powerful tools available to enhance your creativity, intuition, health, and a myriad more benefits: Lucid Dreaming
~
Most of us go through life and consider our sleeping time just that.. "sleep". But what if we could consciously step into and utilize this time while we are dreaming for healing, problem solving, personal breakthroughs, and epic adventures we never thought were even possible?!
~
I've been diving into the world of lucid dreaming for nearly 19 years! This practice is so powerful and potentially life changing, that it's come time to share share this knowledge with my greater community. Classes will be hosted in person at various locations across the Metro Vancouver region and will be offered a limited number of times
~
First one will be hosted in a home in Pitt Meadows, BC on January 28th @ 5pm. Cost is 60$ per attendee and spaces are limited. Contact me to secure your spot for the evening!
Today is my birthday.. I'm not usually a fan of big parties or gifts etc, but if you want to do something special for me - you can donate to my ecological cleanup organization Web Of Life. 100% of funds go directly towards the labor, volunteer coordination, and supplies/equipement for one of the largest ongoing ecological cleanup efforts in the history of the Metro Vancouver region. Some of the photos below are only a very small preview of the massive results we have accomplished over the last few years. The cleanup of the South Deer Lake forest in Burnaby is currently being funded by an amazing community member. After that (2 more work sessions), our nearly 100+ locations we have mapped for restoration will be ALL OUT OF POCKET unless we can find corporate sponsors or community donors. Sending gratitude to everyone who has helped in this project and supported my vision so far๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿž๐Ÿšฎ๐ŸŒŽ
This Fri Feb 9th: Night Hike. Enjoy an early spring adventure deep into the forest and if we have enough people to carry firewood, a bonfire by the creek/waterfalls ๐Ÿฅพ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŒฒ

All throughout history we have made our homes in natural forests, and woven our gardens into these forests. It's about time we bring some wildlife back into our urban areas!
