Learn how to make world class cocktails from the comfort of your own home! I'll be teaching you all about cocktails; the history, techniques, tools, recipes and more while we make two different cocktails along the way. Be sure to bring your notepad as I have lots of information to share! We'll start by discussing the main techniques used in making cocktails: stirring, shaking and built cocktails and when to use them, followed by an introduction to cocktail tools. From there, we'll make our first cocktail and I'll teach you the history of cocktails and their modern renaissance, while you sip your first drink. I will also discuss some staple ingredients and spirits, some awesome ingredients you can make at home such as flavored syrups, a brief explanation of how ice affects cocktails, the major families of cocktails and more, all with some fun stories thrown in. We'll wrap up with a little more in-depth information before allowing an open period of discussion. As mentioned, I've taught everyone from absolute beginners to world class bartenders on various aspects of this seminar so please reach out beforehand and we can tailor the seminar to your knowledge level! *Please note - the seminar booking is by the number of people, not devices.*

Join us for an action packed day exploring the forest of Lynn Canyon Park & the breathtaking valley of Pitt Meadows. We start the day with a leisurely hike through Lynn Canyon Park. Crossing the 50m high suspension bridge allows a panoramic view over the canyon, forest & raging waters below. Leaving the bridge, we enter into the ancient rain-forest and take a stroll beneath the towering trees above. We join the Baden Powell Trail and learn some interesting facts about the rain-forest and local ecosystem. Following the hike, we take the short drive out to Pitt Meadows. Here we enjoy a fresh and healthy lunch before we begin our bicycle ride along the beautiful dikes & farmland. Pitt Meadows is located in the lower Fraser valley, 50 km from downtown Vancouver & surrounded by the glorious mountains of Golden Ears & Pinecone Burke Provincial parks. We are delighted to be the sole tour operator with access to the stunning Trans Canada Trail located at Pitt Meadows, BC. The Trans Canada trail is the longest recreational trail in the world and spans the entire width of Canada. Enjoy the colorful surrounding farmland, fauna and blooming meadows as we pedal along the majestic trail. Other things to note Bring your own camera/cellphone for photos, sunglasses and sunscreen, loose fitting comfortable clothes or sportswear, sneakers or any closed footwear.

Before rehearsal or a show, I often sneak under the stage or behind a curtain to practice yoga and both mentally and physically prepare for my performance. Sometimes I practice alone, and other times I'm teaching fellow artists or even show technicians and management!! After years of traveling and dancing with some of the world's best I'd love to share my yoga practice and Cirque du Soleil stories with you. BREATHE After saying hello and sharing brief introductions we’ll get down to business with pranayama (breathing) exercises to mindfully bring ourselves into the present moment. MOVE I will guide you through an asana practice (yoga postures) where we can combine movement with breath, work up a bit of a sweat, and find new healthy space in our bodies. MEDITATE We’ll finish the session with dhyāna (meditation) as a way to ground ourselves in the here and now, and seal our practice together. Q&A Let’s chat ☺ I’m open to your questions and am excited to share my love of yoga and the ins and outs of life with Cirque du Soleil. *Please keep in mind that if you sign up for this experience you are expected to participate in the yoga practice. No spectators!

Immerse yourself in the chilling dramas of historic Gastown as you venture into Vancouver's earliest and most gruesome history on this 90-minute walking tour. Follow the lamplight of your guide as you discover the terror of a Great Fire that ate up Gastown in minutes, the long forgotten plague of smallpox, and the unsolved murder of John Bray. Designed for adult audiences, the experience is both a walking tour and a theatre piece. Your guide is a professional actor, performing in character throughout. Every story is grounded in documented Vancouver history, taken from the city archives. The plot line is woven together as the tragic tale of one person's life, ending in a dramatic finale in Gastown's Maple Tree Square. Every one of Gastown's must-see sites and landmarks is visited on the walk, the oldest hotel, the Gastown Steam Clock, you’ll see how Vancouver looked before and after the Great Fire, explore notorious Gaoler's Mews, and walk down the back alleys of Water Street to famous Maple Tree Square. Do not expect a ghost tour or conventional walking tour – this is a performance experience that will pull you so deep into the swirling lamplight and darkened alleys of Gastown’s murky past, you may have a hard time finding your way back out… Other things to note We run the tours rain or shine, if it is raining, be sure to pack an umbrella and wear your rain boots! There are no bathroom breaks on the tour.

My goal is to provide a safe tour of Gastown, Chinatown, Vancouver harbor and Convention Center at night, while learning photography. I'll take you to both popular spots as well as hidden gems tourists are not familiar with. In addition, I will recommend other city spots for night photography, as well as suggestions for restaurants and watering holes from a local. For photos, we'll cover techniques like long exposure for DSLR cameras as well night shots with camera phones. Alternatively, we can do photo shoots instead of learning photography if that's your interest. Either way, you'll receive complimentary photos after the tour.
