Your hosts for the discussion are D-F teachers Marty Coles and Sherrie Laryse.

Marty Coles is a long-time yogi and meditator, passionate about sharing the spiritual nature of the practice and its capacity to both awaken and strengthen the mindbody connection.

Sherrie is an author who writes about emotional intelligence, and how her own long-standing, yet ever-evolving meditation practice helps her to process the rough experiences in life, both physically and emotionally.

Expect this discussion to delve into the mindbody connection in detail. Expect to hear how meditation builds mental and emotional resilience and forges peace in unlikely situations. Expect to learn how to listen to your body’s wisdom, and honour the powerful link between our emotions, thoughts, and physical feelings. Expect to be a part of a potent and fascinating conversation that will make you feel alive and excited about this crazy phenomenon that life is.
