Emily Shimwell

A woman with brown hair smiling while sitting on a black folding chair with her legs crossed and barefoot, against a plain white background.

Emily is a Yorkshire-born storyteller, experience designer, and lifelong connector. She is the founder of Dine Wilder and co-founder of Graze Wilder, ventures united by her love of beauty, community, and bringing people together.

What drives her isn’t just setting beautiful tablescapes, but the feeling behind it - creating experiences that spark something real and lasting.

For Emily - it’s about the moments, the stories, and the connections that turn a gathering into something unforgettable. Her favourite book is of course, Unreasonable Hospitality.

—“We’re so quick to look outside ourselves for energy and change, but I want to curate the spaces where women have time to look within - and find what’s already there.”

  • Erin is an expert at helping women deep dive into self-leadership, reconnecting with your values, strengths, voice, and purpose. In this session, you will explore how to lead from within, moving beyond roles, titles, and surface identity, and gain clarity on your own north star. Erin blends heart, intuition, and science-backed tools, guiding you through periods of growth, transition, or redefinition with courage, confidence, and self-trust.

    Change is inevitable, and during this session you will learn how to navigate it, make aligned decisions, and embrace your unique leadership style without comparing yourself to others. You will cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself, tap into your inner wisdom, and recognize the impact you are capable of making. You will leave not just inspired, but activated - ready to step boldly into life and leadership from within.

  • Coming Home: Awakening the Divine Feminine Through Intuition

    This session with Courtney invites you to reconnect with the divine feminine within, a part of you that has been quieted in a world that celebrates doing over being, performance over presence, and logic over emotion. You will explore how embracing the divine feminine is not only about softness or slowness, but about radical permission to feel and to let those feelings guide you back to your intuition.

  • Founder of The Bodhi Effect, a leadership coach and facilitator helping people lead with clarity, resilience, and purpose - using neuroscience, mindfulness, and decades of experience to spark transformation.

MALLORY MEYER

Leadership & Neurocoach

Rewire Your Reality: Aligning Your Nervous System and Subconscious for Expansion

Website: whitewolfreiki.ca
Instagram: @mal.meyer

  • In this session, guests will discover how micro-adjustments in attention, posture, and imagination can spark immediate, felt changes in the body, mind, and nervous system. These experiential practices mirror the tools elite athletes use to strengthen mental fitness: regulating physiology, expanding bandwidth, and training the brain to stay calm and focused under pressure. Threaded throughout is intention-setting: guests will leave not only with clarity about what they want to cultivate but also with an embodied understanding of how to access it and how emotional intelligence and presence can make expansion feel safe, sustainable, and effortless.

  • Founder of White Wolf Reiki, she helps high-capacity humans step out of overdrive and reconnect with themselves through intuitive energy work, somatic healing, and a trauma-sensitive approach - blending science, spirit, and safety.

Discover the Magic

  • Two women sitting together, smiling at a party, with gold and black metallic streamers in the background.

    “I’ve now attended four Dine Wilder events and all I can say is that they are pure magic. As a somewhat new woman in squamish it has been a wonderful space to connect with other women in the community. Meeting so many wonderful women has left me feeling inspired and supported. Incredible food, atmosphere and energy. Not your average networking event. When women come together in such an intentional way, sparks fly."

    Emily Kyllo - Dine Guest

  • "As a through and through introvert, I typically find rooms full of people draining. However, some rooms are apparently magic. The decor, the chatter, the conversation, the community...all combine to fill you up. Emily is a gem of a human, who knows how to create this magic."

    Anne Mackenzie - Executive Director, Squamish Chamber of Commerce

  • A woman with long dark hair, tattoos on her arms, wearing a black sleeveless dress with a red belt, standing in front of a beige wall with a floral wreath hanging behind her.

    “Wow, was my first thought and words when I attended my first event last month. I have always been apart of the community; sports, coaching, athlete, local etc. but this was completely different. I felt as though I was given a different opportunity to connect and be apart of a community within the community. The energy in the room, the conversations and connections, and the opportunity to dress up in whatever made you feel beautiful.”

    Jamey-Lyn Horth - UFC Flyweight
