HELLO.

I'M BRIANNE.

I grew up in a village in north-eastern Canada called Sturgeon Falls - a place surrounded by forests, lakes and rivers. I learned to walk and sow seeds at the same time, thanks to my mother's passion for plants and our family-owned nursery business. I spent my childhood working and playing outside, and my teenage years going on adventures in the forest with my brother.

I started being interested in yoga and its philosophy when I turned 14. Practicing postures nourished me and I soon became dedicated to teaching myself how to practice on my own, following online videos. Few years of a disciplined daily self-practice and I started getting interested in the Vedic philosophy behind the practice. I read scriptures and devoured books on the topic.

Meanwhile, I entered University and felt my life lose its meaning. Is this really it? I kept feeling this drowning feeling, the impression that I was in the wrong place. My life got more and more out of sync with my purpose and I found myself getting hit by a car while cycling. It was death and rebirth.

In 2017 I quit University and left for India to study Vedic philosophy for 3 months, with no plans to return to Canada. I became a yoga "teacher" and continued my journey with a month-long Permaculture Design Course in southern India. There I taught yoga-asanas and breathing practices for the other participants and connected with many Indian farm owners interested in regenerative practices. I spent the next year travelling to my friends' farms and working on regenerative projects in India.

I came back to Canada in early 2018 to work as a Regenerative Farming Intern in Cache Bay, Ontario. I learned about growing food on a medium-scale with experienced farmers and lived in an off-grid cabin without running water or electricity for the summer. I fell in love with minimalistic living!

I spent the next winter working as an artist in residence for the local french school board, working with creativity and visual art, teaching breathing, yoga and its philosophy. I realized the importance of working with children to co-create the bright future that I long for.

In the season of 2019, I became the farm manager and steward of 2 acres of organic food production. I also collaborated with other farmers to initiate the Ottawa Farm School, creating and facilitating a curriculum for local children to learn about growing food, biodiversity, soil health and farm ecosystems. I fell in love even more with my work with children.

I spent the winter working as a yoga teacher while designing my first two professional permaculture designs. One, a backyard design for attracting pollinators and biodiversity. Second, my own regenerative farming project in Wakefield, Québec. I spent the season creating a biodiverse, productive garden, making mistakes and learning a lot along the way.

I started practicing conscious feelings work, learning to feel through Vera Franco's trainings. Delving into Possibility Management, I gained the distinctions and the tools that I needed to fully surrender myself to my Archetypal Lineage. I am in an ongoing transformational healing process that is allowing me to become a vehicle for Love, Clarity, Adventure, Connection, Authenticity, Responsibility, and Creation in the world.
