✨ What becomes possible when we come together to explore what belonging means and how we create it together?

Jenn Forgie and I have been considering this question lately and decided we would bring it to our community!

On Saturday Oct 3rd, we're running ‘Come Together: A Workshop on Belonging’. This is a full day in person workshop at theDock in downtown Victoria.

✍️ Jenn invites us inward through creative journaling and shared conversation.

🙋‍♀️ I bring playful experiences that invite us outward into connection, curiosity and community.

We'll move between reflection, play and conversation throughout the day.

And maybe, for one day, experience a little more belonging together.

Early-bird pricing ends tomorrow, Friday Sept 11th! 💸

⭐️ Facilitator & Applied Improv Folks! ⭐️

I am helping to bring this really great opportunity to Vancouver Island, from May 31st-June 5th! We'll spend the whole time together at the beautiful Pearson College (Metchosin). 🌊

(This is not something I'm facilitating - I'll be attending too!)

This is going to be led by the wonderful Ted DesMaisons (San Fran) and Raymond van Driel (Netherlands). It's going to be 4.5 days of training in the world of applied improv! It's going to be like "play camp for adults" for the whole week 🤩

This is a training for:
- facilitators/trainers who want to learn about using improv
- improvisors who want to learn more about workplace facilitation
- coaches who do group coaching and want to learn the magic of improv!

I'd love to tell you more.. let me know if you want more info!

Join global improv leaders in Vancouver Island to upgrade your facilitation game. 4.5 transformative days of play, learning, and connection!

It's the end of an era. Be Improv is no more 😭

It was a hard decision, but it was time. I created Be Improv business back in 2017 (wild!), built the website all on my own (with some help from my tech wiz Daniel!), ran my first workshops and began to learn what it takes to build my own business. Many of you have been there with me since it started! Thank you!! 🙏

I will never forget my little Be Improv business days. It was the start of it all! It's sad to see it gone... but when it's time, it's time... 🧡

Now to fully focus on my current business at https://brettmacdonald.ca/! 💪

This was a delight to bring a little play into the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce Emerge Committee kickoff event for their Mentorship program!

I love helping to bring laughter and connection into a space first thing in the morning 🤗

I hesitated to share this with you.

There are so many posts of people’s words of the year out there. And for myself I wondered, do I even follow these words each year? And why do I feel the need to share them with the world?

And that's when I realized that these words are not just what I want for my own personal growth this year, these are also what I want to help other people with through my workshops.
.. So let’s do this together!

✨ Let’s stretch beyond our usual comfort zones so that we can flourish and share all the beautiful parts of ourselves that don’t always get to shine!

See you out there in 2025 my blossoming community! 🪴
👉 PS.. and just because I’m always curious, what ARE your words of 2025? 😁
