About Stellar Experiences

Luxury in the Heart of the Canadian Rockies

We design transformational leadership development programs that are delivered through immersive adventure and wellness experiences in the Canadian Rockies.

Leveraging the magic of nature and the power of experiential travel programs, our clients are able to accomplish what once seemed impossible, gain clarity on their outcomes, overcome burnout and build momentum on that which is most important to them. As a result, success strategies are born!

Starting out as a paper napkin idea over a decade ago, Stellar Experiences was born in 2021, in the midst of the pandemic, to give back when the world needed it most.

The founders have lived, learned and grown through this process of recalibration and immersive development programs. They know first hand how these experiences can be used to create a space of clarity, focus and possibility, and how this can contribute to those around them.

A world where leaders grow in leading themselves and their teams, while amplifying their impact by saving children from trafficking - that's what it's all about!

We are Chris and Shalini

Integrity, Excellence and Purpose! These are our hallmark values for everything we do, everything we are and everything we deliver.

For decades, we have embodied the entrepreneurial spirit and embraced the growth mindset, while establishing ourselves as leaders in creating unique, memorable and transformational experiences through hospitality, experiential travel and events across the world.

While our journey has been documented and recognized through various awards, government accolades and media publications; perhaps our biggest accomplishment is the trail of impact we've had, with setting up a college scholarship foundation, feeding over 10,000 children in need, and being a voice of mentorship for youth in the industry.

Along this journey,  we have found the balance of a life well lived through immersive travel to over 40 countries, living on 6 continents and experiencing countless adventures and breathtaking moments across the world, from the Himalayas to the Sahara, the Amazons to the Galapagos.

As we step into the next chapter of our journey with Stellar Experiences, we welcome the opportunity of collaborating with global leaders as we have done in the past through various projects.

Reset and Reclaim

We value connection with the mind, body and spirit, offering retreats and experiences that can help leaders reset their minds and bodies, reconnect with their purpose, and reclaim their best selves.

We believe that a recalibrated leader can have a profound impact on all those looking up to them as well as their peers in their communities.
