[ep 094] Dallas Sauer and Savannah Fox on expansive living, the power of authentic stories & healing in community]

Dallas Sauer and Savannah Fox embody the term ‘beautiful souls’. Before their current endeavor Dome Home, Savannah worked in wellness marketing and Dallas is a sought-after commercial & narrative director/producer, working with Nike, Amazon Canada, Remy Martin, and Pepsi.

Savannah was born in Ottawa, Canada, then moved to the Kootenays as a toddler. Her parents met in a communal house, though they eventually separated. Her father is an artist who lives a nomadic, spiritual life—she often travelled with him when young, embuing her with a sense of adventure. When Sav graduated, she visited India and met travel nurses who inspired her to apply to nursing. But she lost her passion after practicum and headed to Nicaragua, where she had a jarring near-death experience while surfing.

Dallas grew up in a small town, only 25 minutes away from Savannah. His parents also split when he was young, so he shuttled between Castlegar and Nelson, BC. He was an athlete—though always felt like a storyteller and harbored an artistic side, participating in community theater and writing. An eventual move to Vancouver kickstarted his successful journey as a creative.

A beautiful love story, they reconnected years after high school and now are partners in life and purpose. Their venture is Dome Home, a stunning property in Baja, Mexico, that’s a 20-minute walk from a freshwater source and lined with fruit trees planted in the 1960s. Its surreal structure, built by Sav's father, is the only domed earth bag home in existence. This year, they opened its doors for stays, collaborations, and retreats.

In this episode, we talk about quality time & presence; Dallas’ passion for authentic storytelling; cultivating harmony between relationships & land; how Dome Home came to be; their vision for creating a healing space & community; and more.
