"I found Lisa to be an excellent and well organized group leader whose interactions with the group were warm and good humoured. She introduced herself so effectively and I was inspired by the challenges she has taken as well as her goals to become even more engaged with the environment, what we have to learn from it, and how we can become more aware of our very intimate relationship with the earth." Program participant, 2007 |

Lisa’s passion for the outdoors has led her on many adventures including reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa, trekking the Annapurna circuit in Nepal, hiking in Yosemite and the Swiss Alps. It was through some of these adventures that Lisa first opened her heart to the beauty and healing of the natural world.
Some of her most impactful life experiences have been while on wilderness excursions and her dream is to create a space for people to experience the mystery and magic of nature in their life. Her current focus is on creating nature workshop for urbanites who care about the planet. She also has a Vipassana meditation practice.
