Adrienne came to ALIVE with a deeply held philosophy that experiential and outdoor learning can and should take many forms.  Adrienne’s creative edge and thoughtful facilitation comes from over a decade of experience developing, delivering, and evaluating educational programs for participants from Kindergarten to a Post-Secondary level. We are thrilled that she has chosen to share her talents in this new role that will strengthen the participant and instructor experience at ALIVE. 

While completing her Bachelors of Arts and Education at Trent University, Adrienne worked as the education coordinator at a not-for-profit teaching farm where she developed innovative and engaging materials that allowed learners of all ages to experience where their food came from first hand. As a facilitator for a garden education program, she inspired the youngest community members to deepen their connections to place and self. During her time leading adult literacy programs, she designed individual programs that met the needs, interests, language level, and learning style for each of her students. Adrienne has also created and delivered bi-coastal leadership capstone programs for international students completing their year abroad in Canada. 

As the self-professed queen of activities, Adrienne has recently learned how to play pickleball, downhill ski, and fly fish.  Most recently she worked towards becoming a certified Yoga instructor and jumped into the world of entrepreneurship by starting her own business A Yoga. This new adventure allows Adrienne to bring the joy of movement to countless people through live online classes and school programs. ALIVE is excited to partner with Adrienne and A Yoga to offer opportunities for mindful movement in schools and upcoming programs.
