You’re a seeker.
You want expansion.
You enjoy a like-minded community.
And, above all, you want an extraordinary life.
Living extraordinary means living your gift. Having a message and speaking it. Your art, gift or talent comes from a place of power and certainty. To live extraordinary means you are on a journey of self exploration and your purpose in life is to continuously explore and deepen your truth.
Living Extraordinary is an event where 10 local heros share what they have learned on their journeys of greatness and inspire you to embark on your own. We have a vision where you as an attendee are a part of the event, the speakers provide touching, thought provoking messages that are the catalyst for conversations, shifts in perspective and ah – has.
As you arrive at the venue you are surrounded by a community of open and authentic individuals who want to engage in conversation. The room is often bubbling with laughter and hugs. Friends old and new sharing and connecting.
This is an event to bring together conscious like minded individuals providing the opportunity for meaningful conversations, quality connections and inspiration. Change starts with one person. Our hope is to spark a ripple effect of change in families, communities and ultimately the planet, starting with you.

Mara Branscombe was awakened to the potency of Hatha Yoga in India twenty years ago. Teaching yoga and meditation now for over a decade, Mara’s ability to hold healing space for the hearts and minds of others offers a vast landscape for transformation within. In her classes you can expect to be challenged and awakened through unique sequencing, articulate asana, grounding meditation, and enlivening pranayama practice. In her yoga teachings, Mara weaves together her background as a dance artist, her practice in the shamanic tradition, and her twenty years of experience on her mat – naturally what arises is a fluid, earthy, full bodied practice. Currently, Mara hosts international yoga retreats, fuses yoga and corporate leadership to executive teams, teaches professional athletes and artists, mentors yoga teachers and teaches classes/workshops in Vancouver. Mara is a regular contributor to Gaia (formerly known as My Yoga Online) and her most recent yoga classes can be viewed online Mara Branscombe

Ryan Guenther is an ex-corporate drone, current stand-up comedian and future author. He grew up in a log cabin on an island south of Prince Rupert, where he walked a mile through the woods every day to a little red one-room schoolhouse, an upbringing which is simultaneously unique and a cliché. In grade five he scored in the 99th percentile in both math and language, and he’s been pretty much coasting ever since.
