OUR STORY

Fjord to Fibre was founded by Anina Hansen and her daughter, Kaitlyn Hansen-Boucher, as a way to bring together the things they value most: creativity, connection, and meaningful shared experiences.
For Anina, this work is a natural extension of a lifelong commitment to community. As the former owner of Urban Yarns in Vancouver, she spent years creating a space where people could gather, learn, and feel part of something. Hosting, teaching, and bringing people together has always been at the heart of what she does.
Kaitlyn’s background is in hospitality, where she built her career around creating thoughtful, memorable experiences for others. What has always mattered most to her is how people feel, and the understanding that the moments we share are often the ones we carry with us the longest.
Fjord to Fibre was created at the intersection of those two worlds.
Together, they set out to build something that goes beyond a traditional event. Their intention is to create experiences that feel considered from beginning to end, where guests can slow down, immerse themselves in creativity, and connect with others in a way that feels natural and lasting.
At its core, Fjord to Fibre is about creating space. Space to learn, to explore, to be inspired, and to share time with people who appreciate the same things.
This is just the beginning.
Their hope is to continue welcoming guests into thoughtfully designed retreats in beautiful places around the world, each one rooted in the same belief: that creativity has a way of bringing people together, and that those shared experiences can stay with you long after you leave.

The Retreat
Our retreats are the most immersive expression of Fjord to Fibre. Thoughtfully designed from beginning to end, they bring together craft, place, and people in a way that feels both intentional and deeply personal.
This is where you fully step into the experience, to create, to learn, and to feel inspired alongside others.

Follow Along
We focus on real moments, what we’re creating, what others are creating, behind the scenes of the retreats, and the details that make it all feel special.
Whether you’re joining us in person or not, this is where you can stay inspired, feel connected, and be part of the world we’re building.
