Debby Rowland
Two Single Card Draw
Intuitive guide, visual storyteller, and the heart behind Genuine Warrior.
After decades of mentoring in fast-paced, corporate environments, I felt called to create something entirely different...
A space where people could slow down, soften, and reconnect to what matters most - their own inner knowing.Genuine Warrior was born from that calling.
Throughout my career, I’ve explored many paths, but I always find myself returning to the natural beauty of the acreage I share with my husband, Butch.
There’s something sacred about this land - a healing energy that I feel deeply blessed to experience every day.

🥗 Nourishing Lunch
11:45–12:30pm | Stephanie of Spaghetti Tree Chef | Cabin
My passion for food started early, sneaking extra seasonings into my dad's cooking, growing up around gardens, and spending time with friends who were farmers.
I was lucky to be immersed in a world of fresh ingredients and homemade meals long before I event knew what that meant. It was only natural for me to pursue a career in food, graduating from SAIT in 2004 with a Professional Cooking Diploma and earning my Red Seal by 2007.
After years as an executive chef, my passion for cooking took an unexpected turn when I discovered a cooking school for kids in Calgary. That moment reignited my love for food in a way I never imagined. I realized that what truly excites me is sharing this passion - especially with kids and teens. Teaching others to experiment, enjoy, and create is what drives me every day.
