We will meet in Manzanita's beautiful Wonder Garden, and your group will be given a Scavenger Hunt list of items, places to find, and some special instructions! Then we'll send the teams off and running. Scavenger Hunt items are located along the main strip of Manzanita (Laneda Ave). Each item is worth points and the team with the most points wins! Extra points are given to the most creative teams! After the hunt, we will return to the meeting place, compare notes, tally the scores, and determine the winning team! Bring your friends and family and be prepared for fun & surprises! Have a special request? Contact me if you'd like to bring a group or schedule a customized hunt for a particular event (i.e. birthday, wedding or bachelorette party, girl's weekend, team-building retreat) Other things to note: Covid: Host is vaccinated. Masks are still required to be worn inside stores in Manzanita. All Scavenger Hunt materials are sanitized between groups. Location: Manzanita is on the North Oregon Coast (20 min from Cannon Beach and 2 hours from Portland). ** Please check drive time before booking ** Availability: Don't see your date available?

See Gig Harbor from the water! We will depart from the Maritime Pier and cruise slowly around the shoreline, enjoying the sights along the way. We will circle around the Harbor several times so you won't miss a thing. HOBBES is heated and protected in the cabin and cockpit so we can cruise in any weather and you will stay warm and dry. Venture out on our large topside deck and enjoy the fresh air when it suits you (we have railing around the entire deck area). Don't miss your chance to see the beautiful sights of Gig Harbor on HOBBES! Other things to note HOBBES is completely enclosed in the cockpit area for boating in all types of weather. She is also heated inside and has a head (toilet) for guests. There are also seats inside if weather dictates. There is a lifeline all around the entire boat topside so you may wander about as you desire.

Albert Einstein said, “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” In this half day workshop I invite you to tap into your artistic nature and join me in creating unique Lampwork glass beads. Lampworking is a process in which a torch is used to melt rods of glass into a bead. We will meet at my charming and cozy home studio. After going over the glossary of terms, our safety procedures, and a tour of my studio, we will begin creating our first basic, handcrafted beads using techniques that I am constantly refining. I’ll teach you techniques on how to decorate and shape the beads you make. About half way through our workshop we will take a half-hour break to stretch our legs and have a quick snack. You are welcome at this time to enjoy the fresh air and explore the lush wooded hiking trails on the property. After our refreshing break, we will finish our beads. Come to this workshop with a sense of curiosity and leave knowing that you have personally created a few one of a kind works of art. Other things to note After completing a bead it is put directly into a kiln overnight to cool slowly for strength and durability. You are welcome to return the next day to pick your beads up, or I can ship them to you at no additional cost if it’s more convenient.

Someone once said "the only constant in life is change." We see it all around us in the seasons and cycles of life, but we rarely give ourselves the space and opportunity to honor the changes in our lives. Ceremony allows us to acknowledge & commemorate life's passages, and if needed, we let go of what is no longer serving us. In this highly-personalized Experience, you will learn the basic elements of ceremony and how to honor and commemorate your story, wherever life finds you in this moment (i.e. a transition, new beginning, ending, or merging). We will meet in the town of Nehalem on the Oregon Coast. From there you can follow me on a short drive into a magical privately owned rainforest! Once there, we will walk a short distance to a creekside yurt where you will learn about the elements that make up a ceremony. These include setting an intention for your ceremony, choosing symbols, tools, places, and more. I will guide you in the design of your ceremony based on your intention. This powerful journey can be taken alone or with a partner. This Experience is recommended if you are going through a life transition (relationship or job change, recovering from illness, stress, addiction recovery, exhaustion) and are ready to initiate positive change in your life.

From the happy moment you board HOBBES, to the sad time you have to step off her, you will be immersed in the Sailing life! Frank and his mate Karen are anxious for you to feel at home onboard HOBBES. You may participate, or not, as you are comfortable. Relax and enjoy the cruise, or help with sailing (weather permitting); Your choice. We both will provide step by step instructions for you so that you will become comfortable on the water. As HOBBES is a very large boat, for first timers, it can be a bit intimidating. We will provide overall instruction about the art of sailing, show you how to handle lines to rig the sails, show you how to steer appropriately according to the wind, and guide you in handling the sail sheets to properly adjust them. We will adjust our instruction to your experience level. Depending on the tides on that particular day, we may head several different ways out of the harbor. Each direction has its own challenges from varied wind to rushing currents. Frank & Karen will guide you constantly with detailed instruction so you can make it look easy to sail the 16 ton craft according to your whims. After 3 hours of honing your skills at tacking, beating, reaching, and other points of sail, we will re-enter Gig Harbor. You can even help moor Hobbes when we glide into the dock after your cruise! Don't miss your chance to cruise HOBBES! Other things to note HOBBES can be completely enclosed in the cockpit area for sailing in all types of weather. She is also heated inside (if necessary) and has a head (toilet) for guests. There is a lifeline all around the entire boat topside so you may wander about as you desire while underway.
