Hello deer friends, 🦌

Just a quick life update: Due to the impacts of the Jasper Complex Wildfire on our lives and home, we have temporarily relocated our family to the spectacularly beautiful and welcoming Valemount, BC! These views and the equally amazing people are healing the incredible grief and stress of the last 3 months. ❤️‍🩹🔥

We will still be visiting Jasper quite often, but for now our home and business will be setting down some roots in the beautiful Robson Valley. 🌱🏔

I am looking forward to connecting with and embracing our new community here in Valemount, while continuing to nurture and hold dear the strong lifelong relationships I have been so fortunate to be surrounded by in Jasper. 🫶🏽

- Theresa

I had so much fun hosting a 'Beading is Medicine' Workshop for these fine folks from the Take Me Outside conference at the Banff Center today! 🌱🏔🪡🧵

We visited, talked plant medicine, beads, and outdoor education - sharing laughs and quiet, crafty time in equal measure. It was a soul filling afternoon!

Kukwstséstemc (thank you) .me.outside for having me and thank you to my lovely students for listening, learning, and choosing to share your time with me!

PS - There is a special Banff-sign-selfie parking lot... Hilarious! 🤣
