The first-ever Side Quest starts here. Meet new people, hit some golf balls, enjoy appetizers, and say yes to adventure.

What if one ordinary Thursday evening turned into the start of something unforgettable?

Welcome to Side Quest #001, the very first event in the Side Quest series. This isn't about being good at golf. It's about saying yes to trying something new, meeting new people, and creating memories instead of waiting for "someday."

Join us at LaunchPad Golf for a relaxed evening of conversation, laughter, shareable appetizers, and a little friendly competition. Whether you come on your own or bring a friend, you'll be welcomed into a community that believes life is meant to be experienced one adventure at a time.

Welcome to the YYC Fempreneurs Success Collective, a community of women solopreneurs that truly believe in the power of learning together, sharing wisdom, supporting each other, and connecting in a heart-centered way.

Are you a new or aspiring female entrepreneur?

It’s time to kick your emotions out of the driver’s seat and run your business with LOGIC.

In this free Lunch & Learn, Vera and Lyndsie will share common pitfalls Fempreneurs face when shifting from their old corporate beliefs to a limitless and abundant lifestyle.

You’ll leave with systems and habits that will keep you on track and remind you to stay away from competitive and emotional thought patterns.

This Lunch & Learn is for women who:

• Currently own a business they're running "on the side" and are ready to step into it full-time

• Have a business idea and want to create a solid plan to make it a reality

• Have recently left their job to run their business full-time and they realize they need support

Develop a deeper understanding of highly sensitive clients and the techniques that help create a meaningful therapeutic conversation.

This is a free presentation to group practices on how to better support highly sensitive clients.

Highly sensitive clients are more likely to seek out counselling as they experience more distress when life is not going well. They are impacted more from childhood trauma, ending of a significant relationship, loss and grief, and challenges in relationships.

But they are often misunderstood in the counseling room if the therapist isn’t aware that they are highly sensitive or aren’t fully aware of how these clients are impacted differently by challenging situations.

A facilitated monthly meetup for motherless mothers: mothers navigating motherhood without their mother's presence and guidance.

This is a recurring meetup that happens on the second Sunday of each month, being held at Gathering Grounds Coffee Co. in Highwood, NW. There is no cost, however attendees can donate and are encouraged to buy a drink or snack at the meetup to support the cafe.

Additional details are in the EventBrite link.

Are you craving meaningful conversation about marketing, business and life goals with other women who get it? Join us at the next FREE Friday Happy Hour.

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.

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.

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.

• The 3 Invisible Pillars: We will dive into the 3 specific backend elements that fix broken marketing. You won't find these on a standard "social media tips" checklist, but without them, your marketing will always feel like exhausting guesswork

If you are tired of chasing algorithms and want to finally build a marketing engine that has legs, it’s time to do the work nobody wants to do so you can get the results everyone else is wishing for.
