Welcome to Earth Rhythms, an award-winning boutique Nova Scotia experiential tourism company dedicated to fostering travel conversations and custom immersive experiences with creative people in out-of-the-way places along the Bay of Fundy and in the Annapolis Valley region. The low mountains and rich agricultural valleys beside the marine environment of the Minas Basin (part of the Bay of Fundy) have created a climate where Acadian forests, orchards, vineyards, organic farms thrive offering intersecting walking trails and intimate viewpoints of coastal shorelines, highland forests, waterfalls, and Acadian historical dikes. Mi’kmaw, Acadians, Black Nova Scotians, and settler communities have evolved with different relationships to the land and sea over time. Since 1996, we have been crafting experiences all over Canada. Celes Davar, owner and president, provides customized facilitated training and community-based experiential tourism training throughout Canada. Read More

Through Celes’ Lens

In the company of a local, very experienced guide, you will be traveling to spots that most travellers don’t get to.

We offer new storytelling itineraries and experiences for travellers to Western Nova Scotia. Read new posts.

Celes Davar is one of Canada’s leaders in experiential tourism. For more than 22 years, he has helped many businesses and communities in Manitoba, Alberta, Newfoundland, Ontario, PEI and Nova Scotia to develop and launch new experiences that reflect their unique stories. These workshops, presentations, and coaching sessions involve a variety of learning techniques and approaches creating immediate results. They are highly experiential, involve skill development, and capacity building within a community team, and are meant to inspire local people to collaborate.

“The Canadian experience is about boreal woodlands, grasslands, mountains, great lakes, rivers, three great oceans (Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic), the wisdom and traditions of indigenous peoples interacting with these ecosystems. More recently European and other settlers have brought elements of their cultures. In each part of Canada, we have opportunities to learn about what makes each place and its culture distinct. It is through this pan-Canadian lens that we offer storytelling and experiences about Nova Scotia that are interactive and immersive.”

Experience Western NS & Annapolis Valley

Slow travel is how we describe it. An opportunity to wander with a guide, meet local folks, and travel short distances to walk and discover the Bay of Fundy, an orchard, a vineyard, or part of the hemlock forest along a brook. Making something hands-on as part of your experience is part of the adventure. It’s how you can remember the trip and share it with others.
