Fall is an amazing time to pause. I took out Laura for a day of hiking, coaching and forest bathing. The results blew her away. When your nose is at the grind stone itās hard to imagine slowing down. But thatās the key! You need to slow down so you can speed up. #lakeohara #forestbathing

This is a special time of year. Here is my invitation to you.
Sometimes you need to slowdown to speed up.
Today I guided a family from Spain in Lake OāHara. I forgot how fun it is to be with people who donāt all speak the same language. We get animated, act out words and use simple language to be understood all in the effort to connect. Pure sweetness!
Today I had 3 women who were 70+ on a hike in Lake OāHara, BC. We did one of the hardest trails there. I thought them how to hike, paces them well, and told fun stories on the way up. They did amazingly well despite the challenge. Physical ability is part of it but attitude plays a huge role in taking on challenges like this and succeeding. ššš #agingwell #lakeoharaalpinecircuit
Do you need to make a decision? Try this.
Yesterday I guided a mom and her 12 year old son from Buenos Aries. She wanted to her big city tween to experience nature. He was bored for the first half hour, then he started to notice little things and relax. They found the tree swing, a climbing tree, cool rocks, and raspberries. Nature is such a great teacher, she reveals her treasures to those who slowdown.
Had a great time canoeing the North Saskatchewan River with friends. Kids steered their own boats, floated through rapids and even surfed a few waves.
Sometimes you need to go to places that feed your soul with the people you love.
Last night I presented the naturalist talk in Lake OāHara and camped over night with my daughter and her friend. Today we went on an alpine circuit and Rhea took a ton of great shots which made up this reel. Enjoy.
Checking trails tonight, Iām not alone. š»
After my program at Moraine Lake I sat in the forest to enjoy some shade but I was not alone. Watch to the end to see who walks through.
Sometimes you need to go to places that feed your soul with the people you love.
Great day at Homeplace ranch doing Forest Bathing and Foraging. Itās the perfect combination if you like nature, good company and food.#forestbathingcalgary #foragingcalgary
