Shelly Eilrich has backpacked Europe solo, skydived, river rafted, hiked, raced cars, and the most adventurous thing of all….explored herself! Her world is built on new experiences, new connections, and new landscapes. She has a gift for creating unique experiences and connection happens wherever she goes. You will not only be intrigued by the stories of her life but you will become part of them.

Nan Catherine McCully is a vibrant young yoga teacher and explorer of the world. Nan has found that teaching yoga has helped her become the most authentic version of herself. Adventure could easily be her middle name. Last year she sailed the coast of Maine, took an intense rock climbing course, traveled to London, and skydived over the Grand Canyon. Next year she will be scaling Mount Rainier and finding her soul a bit more.
