Virtual or Live; this is the question.  Each has it's merits, but which is the Right choice for you? ​We delve into the advantages and disadvantages of both outlets and how our Tahoe meeting space can provide you with an in-person venue as well as virtual offerings. In business or pleasure we'll make sure that you'll create positive memories for a lifetime.

Seeing, hearing, watching, and engaging in real life with others provides us with opportunities to connect in a multitude of ways.  As we interact we collect all types of information from each other.  Whether we notice it, or not, we are gathering details about personalities, preferences, comfort levels, and more.

At Bliss Experiences we consider all of these aspects when curating our experiences.  When you join one of our classes, workshops or lectures, our intention is to create opportunities for you to feel noticed and understood as well as to connect with your guide.  Our in-person experiences are more than guided tours; they are chances for all of us to experience Bliss and union.

Developing the skills necessary to present and participate in virtual experiences takes time.  During the pandemic there was much to be learned in regard to managing virtual rooms on Zoom, behaving appropriately while presenting, making sure the perspective from the camera to the screen was accurate, recording, editing, being patient with sound delays, and dealing with internet & tech issues.

Now that we have become professionals at virtual presentations and as participants these skills will continue to remain useful.  We can attend classes, workshops, lectures, and more live and on-demand with the people we choose no matter where we are.  There are countless opportunities to learn from others and experience new things. 

Some things will never be the same virtually as they are in real life.  Experiencing a room, location, or space is one such thing.  There is nothing quite like floating on the lake on a paddle board.  A hike in the woods is more full when you are there in person.  A room looks very different when you can see all four walls, the ceiling, and floor with a turn of your head. 

Spaces hold energy and Bliss Experiences Tahoe meeting space is designed to do so.  Every color and all of the décor was specifically chosen to create a sense of peace, calm, and relaxation.  Whether wine tasting, checking out the latest styles, painting Tahoe, or practicing Yoga, we hope that you'll experience of sense of reconnection with nature and yourself while sharing our space.

Sweet and salty, Peanut Butter and Chocolate, Pasta and Cheese; some things just work well together.  Creating experiences that include both live and virtual attendees is no easy task.  

Our new space is outfitted with  a 10' projection screen, camera, and video equipment.  You will be able to attend workshops, lectures, and classes in-person as well as virtually in real time.  We hope to help you connect with teacher, guides, and presenters, as well as the other participants from any distance.

We're looking forward to seeing you in 360* and sharing Bliss Experiences with you outdoors, in our new space, and virtually.

We have lived through an historical moment.  Has it changed you?  It has certainly changed me and reinforced my desire for Bliss.

The transition from "stay at home" to "normal" has an interesting vibration to it.  There is an energetic buzz and a sense of exploding excitement over the opportunity to return to doing all the things we did before the pandemic.

While following the directives to stay at home I learned a valuable lesson: I don't need very much.  I don't need fancy food or cocktail service.  I don't need live concerts (although they are fun) or pedicures.  I don't need to go shopping for new clothes, toys, or belongings.  I don't need to be doing things all of the time.  Less is more.

I grew up playing with whatever was available.  We would run around the fields, climb trees, build rock & tree forts, and build mud pies.  Our imaginations allowed us to create anything out of anything.  

The first time my sister visited me in Tahoe she said, "You live in a postcard."  When I guide tours and classes people ask, "do you ever get tired of this?"  My answer is, "Never."  I get to live the dream and value that I do it in Lake Tahoe and recognize how the choices I made in life helped me to get here.  At Bliss Experiences our intention is to help you develop similar values for your life.

Every day I get to look at a beautiful lake, run through the forest, walk on the beach, stand on top of a mountain, hike through the desert, bike, ski, paddle and play.  The pandemic has added stress to my life, but enjoying Tahoe has helped me to manage it. 

People fled the cities when the pandemic hit.  There was a general perception shift that the mountains are safer than the seaside.  Our tiny community became inundated with visitors and new residents.  The lack of infrastructure, staff, response teams, inability to educate, and enforcement became increasingly evident and the impact has been significant.

Tahoe runs on tourism.  We have gotten better, throughout the years, at supporting and sharing information with the influx of visitors that come to the basin every Winter and Summer.  This year was a new opportunity for us to learn and change our practices.

As a business owner I had to become more patient.  Messaging from my business had to change.  I had to constantly remind myself to try to understand the perspective others have; they are just trying to do something "normal"  The pandemic has helped me become more patient and empathetic with myself and others.

Small businesses are the soul of our country.  As businesses began to shutter it was obvious that the corporations and larger ones would survive.  Small, individually and family owned business needed our patronage.  

Bliss Experiences promotes and partners with the small businesses and professionals in our community.  The pandemic further reminded me to remain in touch and to continue to bolster them.  As we emerge from this historical moment we will continue to grow our list of providers so that you can continue to experience Bliss with them.

I believe that when spending time with someone it is important that your full attention be dedicated to that experience.  When teaching classes, guided lessons, or out on a tour I am fully focused upon making the experience special for those joining in.  

Now that we are using more virtual tools including live video streams it's easy to be doing many things at once: live feed while recording for later while doing an Instagram live and chatting over text.

I chose to continue to practice focusing upon the task at hand even while learning to use new formats for teaching.  I have noticed that, as I venture back out into the world, I would rather be with a small group and have dedicated conversations than in a place where there is a larger crowd and many distractions.  Being present and enjoying the moment makes for a far better experience. 

When Bliss Experiences opens we will continue to honor quality of experience over quantity of participants so that we can be dedicated to making yours the best.

Bliss Experience creates custom curated opportunities for connecting with nature and your Self.  Join one of our scheduled experiences or book a Private Session.
