Learn bold BBQ + gut-friendly flavour combos, master the perfect BBQ, and elevate your grill game at our signature summer celebration!
Fire and Ferment 2.0: A No Shoes Nutrition BBQ Party
Back by popular demand, our second annual Fire and Ferment experience is not just a cooking class—it’s a bold, flavour-packed summer BBQ party where gut health meets the grill.
This immersive, hands-on experience brings together the smoky richness of perfectly grilled meats and vegetables with the vibrant, tangy complexity of fermented foods. You’ll discover how live-cultured ingredients can elevate your BBQ from simple to unforgettable—adding depth, brightness, and balance to every bite.
Throughout the class, we’ll explore the powerful connection between flavour and function—how fermentation not only enhances taste but also supports digestion, gut health, and overall vitality. You’ll learn how to seamlessly incorporate fermented foods into your everyday cooking.
Together, we’ll dive into creative pairings, using ferments in marinades, sauces, and sides that complement and enhance grilled dishes. From bold flavour combinations to simple, practical techniques, you’ll walk away with the confidence to bring something truly unique to your next BBQ.

Learn the 5 key principles for intentional spending and financial confidence
A powerful pause to realign your money habits with your goals.
You’ve tried budgeting apps, spreadsheets, or planners, but none of them seem to fit your real life. They just make you feel like you’re doing it “wrong”.
Living with the constant fear that one emergency could unravel everything you’ve been trying so hard to hold together.
Reaching for small comforts — a treat, a meal out, a little something to feel better — and then feeling guilty afterward wondering why.
Join Shantell Krystal, money coach, on May 27th to learn the why.
The Warm Room YYC- Inaugural Gathering
Two hours of expert knowledge, honest conversation, and genuine community — in a beautifully designed setting with catering included.
HERE IS WHAT TO EXPECT:
A clear picture of what is actually happening in your body and what it is trying to communicate during this transition.
Understanding of what is happening in your gut and how to support it
Real answers to the questions you have from trusted practitioners
Two or three specific things you can do this week — practical, accessible, and drawn directly from the evening's conversation
Structured time with the women at your table — private and more connecting
A seat in Calgary's first community built specifically for this chapter of your life
A woman who understands what is happening in her body — and has the right people beside her — moves through this chapter on her own terms.
Stable Ground -- Eve of the Summer Solstice
As the year climbs toward its longest day, join Nicole and a small group of eight for an evening given over to smell and taste.
Old European tradition held that Midsummer's Eve was the night to gather herbs — when plants were at their most potent, their oils drawn out by heat and long light, the gathering and burning of them as much a sensory ritual as a magical one.
In the foothills, though, the solstice arrives differently — the wild green still new, the rose just opening — and we meet midsummer not at its ripeness but at its ascent.
We won't be alone. The horses share the field with us — not a spectacle to watch, but fellow inhabitants of the evening.
Horses live through scent and presence, so their nearness becomes a quiet barometer of our own arrival — when we've stopped watching the evening and started being part of it.
Come breathe, gather, and meet the height of the light with us.
Contact Nicole to receive a “bring a friend” discount.

I’m excited to invite you to the Spring edition of Stable Ground: Reconnect, Reflect, Realign!
Join us on Saturday, May 23, 2026 from 8:00–11:00 am, at Mission Acres in Cochrane, AB.
We tend to rely heavily on words to communicate. Yet non-verbal communication — body language, tone, facial expressions, and energy — makes up between 55–90% of how we connect with others. Non-verbal communcation carries emotion and meaning beyond words.
During this experience, you’ll get to explore ALL of your communication tools in a playful and insightful way. Together with fellow participants — and your horse partner — you’ll experiment with:
guiding a horse without touch
communicating without words
using your energy to own the space
navigating different obstacles
No riding involved. No horse experience is needed.
All you need is an open mind and a willingness to play.
This experience is an invitation to step away from the everyday and spend a few intentional hours focused on you — your presence, your awareness, and your leadership.
You'll be guided from start to finish, and we’ll pause along the way to reflect and capture insights together.
Refreshments will be provided.
