Whistler Blackcomb
A seminar in Vancouver led to a journey north to Whistler Blackcomb, and into one of the most beautiful landscapes in British Columbia.
Exploring this area means moving between two worlds. At the base, the village is alive with activity, but as you rise into the mountains, that changes. The environment opens, and the scale of the land begins to take over.

At the top of Blackcomb Mountain, we stood before this stone figure, an Inukshuk. Built in the tradition of the Inuit, it is a symbol of guidance and presence, placed in landscapes where direction matters.
Taking the time, in the midst of teaching and travel, adding something to the experience. Often the most meaningful part of the journey is not the destination, but the space we give ourselves to step into, even briefly.

That is certainly true for the Eiffel Tower. The first time we visited Paris, of course we did what first-time visitors do: we took the ride up the […]
