Say hello to an amazing woman, Tisha Gehringer. She was sold on Foundation Training since the team's first certification four years ago, and the rest is history. She finished that first certification without experiencing the severe pain she had been in and ready to take this amazing knowledge to the world as a new person.
A spooktacular ending to a spectacular day for bride and groom Jamie and Jon. After tying the knot at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, the whole entourage changed into their Halloween best, hopped on Jump on The School Bus and boogied their way to the loft for some late night shenanigans.
Everyone loves hearing a good story, whether it be a bedtime story as a child, a tall tale told by your goofy uncle, a funny story of your best friend's wedding or a ghost story told around a campfire. So, in the spirit of The Narrative, we rounded up some Halloween stories for your reading pleasure.
Not only did these sweethearts say I do in our space, they tied the knot before noon! Sweetness filled the room, from the crumb donuts fresh from Spudnuts placed on guests' plates as they arrived, to the spread of cakes crafted by Sweet Mountain Top.
Tying the knot in a place that's close to home and close to the heart escalates a ceremony to another plane of romance. Newlyweds Megan and Adrian did just that by saying I do right down the road from their lovely abode, at Cold Springs Tavern, a place the couple has frequented over the years.
Just about everything in life goes along with the saying practice makes perfect. Having an awesome coach by your side makes excellence even more achievable. For professionals looking to hone their public speaking skills and personal narratives, Kymberlee Weil, (a.k.a. Strategic Samurai), is that mentor.
The first stop on this love parade was El Capitan Beach for a striking fall sunset ceremony complete with beautiful ukulele accompaniment by Chris Wooley. As another gorgeous Santa Barbara sun set beyond the horizon, the bunch made their way to our space, The Narrative Loft.
Program Director, Erin Low has helped pave the way for the reach and impact Foundation Training has had on transforming minds, bodies and lives since 2012, when Foundation Training started having trainer certifications. Read our blog on Erin and get to know her.
After tying the knot at the Presidio Chapel in downtown Santa Barbara these love bugs scurried to The Narrative Loft to start celebrating.
Watching the sunrise on a rooftop in Santa Barbara. Breakfast at Breakfast Culture Club, the hottest new joint in town. A party at a supercool loft space with your closest friends and family by your side and you have a recipe for one of the best days ever.
From the milk and cookie station, to the heavenly blooms scattered about, everything little thing about Sara and Anthony's celebration has us head over heels. Day of coordinators Jennifer and Natasha from Swoon California wowed with their attention to detail. After the bride and groom said their vows looking out over the Santa Barbara Harbor at Santa Barbara City College the whole party jumped on Santa Barbara Trolley Company 's trolley and made their way to The Narrative. They boogied the night away to beats from DJ Darla Bea, sipped on hand-crafted delights from The Good Lion and no Santa Barbara party is complete without.
Some days love will burn so intensely everything around it will catch fire. Mostly it will be a blissful seventy-five and sunny and true love will always endure. Congratulations Lindsay and Edward may your love continue to grow from here to eternity. This celebration of love was absolutely stunning with the help from a stellar group of vendors. Friend of the bride, Julie Alexander stepped up as day-of-coordinator to make this special day run smoothly. Amigo Party Rentals created the rustic atmosphere with their gorgeous full-length wood tables and Becky of Haute Blossoms adorned them with her floral masterpieces adding a romantic flair. Adding to the fun of the evening were amazing bartenders Jude and Travis from Top Shelf Events making the party go off without a hitch!
A group of teens ascended on The Narrative to celebrate Makena's milestone birthday. There were plenty of games, laughter, goofing around and silly teenage shenanigans. Makena had a Flipbooth, an open air photo booth with a modern twist...it takes video! The best part is guests got to take home their own unique flip book full of memories, printed instantly from the booth. Tamara's Catering delivered the goods once again with their healthy yet mouthwatering dinner options. The famous, Nothing Bundt Cake chain did not disappoint with their freshly baked sweet treats for the sugar hungry teens. H2H The Perfect Element entertainment and rentals turned The Narrative into the perfect party spot
On a sunny August day Ricky and Kimberly brought even more of their own sunshine to this celebration. From the plethora of sunflowers to their constantly smiling faces, the atmosphere of the loft was happy and bright. This darling couple called each other sweeties for thirteen years before tying the knot. To acknowledge this special number there were thirteen tables, and table cards were of movies they have seen every year together since they've been a couple. Too cute!
The sixth annual World Domination Summit in Portland, Oregon set out to explore this key question.

Not only that, attendees return from WDS with a new perspective, a fresh pep-in-their-step and the affirmation to keep on moving and shaking! Like our own fearless leader Michelle just did!
