Hi. I’m Darlene. Writer, performer, explorer, master coach – and the founder of Lifescapers.

Think of Lifescapers as a creative ecosystem. A nurturing environment in which your creative life can flourish.

Your creative expression is a gift to the world and food for your own soul. I challenge you to make this the year you fully embrace your creative nature, set some ambitious goals and gift yourself the support you deserve.

Four Conversations to Transform Your Life and Change the World

This is a hopeful book. It’s about finding new sources of power when you feel powerless, and new possibilities when you feel boxed in. It will help you choose a creative response to any challenge that arises in your life.

Bad news, negative people and the pile up of one thing after another can create a downward spiral that drains your energy, shuts down your creativity and leaves you feeling confused and powerless.

The Conversations in this book will help you focus on what you want, reconnect to your strengths and resources, explore new perspectives and find new possibilities for productive action.

They will help you create real positive change in your life.

  

Come Away to Norway

June 19-26, 2027

From east to west Norway is magnificent! We begin our expedition in the capital city of Oslo, famous for its magnificent harbour and avant garde architecture. From here we’ll board a train heading west, climbing up the rugged spine of the country and down into green valleys cut through with beautiful fjords. Finally we end our travels in the west coast city of Bergen, with its famous harbour lined with warehouses from the time when when the Hanseatic League ruled European trade.

Norway is the home of my ancestors. I remember my grandmother bouncing me on her knee when I was little, singing Norwegian nursery rhymes. I have also had the opportunity to work in Norway quite often, when helping a Dairy company implement a coaching culture and train a number of their leaders as coaches. I have made many friends there and have the opportunity to travel much of the country. For these reasons I am especially excited to share this country with you. I hope you choose to join us in Oslo in June.

Included: Accommodation. All breakfasts and 5 dinners. Transportation by road, rail and ship. Guided tours and admission to select attractions.

Cost: $6,200 CAD for a shared room and $6,500 for a single.

We can accommodate only 8 guests on this all woman trip so click the link for full information if this adventure calls to you!
