Location: Museum of Anthropology at UBC, Vancouver
Theme: Curiosity | Culture | Unexpected Connection
He was a visiting urban planner from Berlin, in town for a sustainability summit. Sharp-minded but emotionally worn, he requested something rare:
“I want to be surprised—not by spectacle, but by a different way of seeing.”
The agency recommended Rina Thorne—a Vancouver-based companion known for her radiant calm, cultural curiosity, and talent for making even quiet moments feel cinematic.
A Museum as a Mirror
They met at the entrance of the Museum of Anthropology on a crisp, sunlit afternoon. Rina wore a camel-toned coat over a silk blouse, her hair tucked neatly beneath a wool beret.
“You said you wanted to see differently,” she smiled, handing him a small notebook.
“Today, you’ll collect moments—not photos.”
Inside, among the towering totem poles and carved cedar figures, she guided him not as a docent, but as a co-discoverer.
The Language Between Silence
In the Bill Reid rotunda, they stood before “The Raven and the First Men.”
He stared, mesmerized by its power.
Rina said quietly, “Creation isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it begins with someone simply being seen.”
He looked at her—not just for the first time that day, but really. Something opened.
They sat later by the windows facing the Pacific, letting the silence settle. No pressure. No performance. Just space to be.
The Final Note
Before they left, she asked him to write a single sentence in the notebook. He wrote:
“Today reminded me that thought and feeling are not enemies.”
Rina took a photo of the page and handed him the notebook to keep.
“That’s yours now,” she said.
“Proof that connection isn’t always planned. It’s allowed.”
