16: Lead With Love, Live Your Dharma and Stay Real – GINA MURDOCK WEB8: Weaving Our Reality

Gina Murdock of Lead with Love is on a mission to shift culture from fear to love inside and out. Sounds big… and she truly is up to big things. Lead with Love is a global gathering and training for heart-centered leaders featuring yoga, meditation, time in nature, spiritual psychology and experiential workshops, music + movement and a renewed focus on social impact and business as a force for good.
Gina is a writer, yoga and meditation teacher, inspirational speaker, advisor to businesses making an impact and founder of Lead with Love non-profit and events. I went to Lead with Love summit in Aspen in 2017, and the experience blew me away. Not only the level of organization and the speakers (Marianne Williamson!), but also the community of people who’re into yoga, consciousness, leadership and making an impact (all at the same time). I needed to know more about the woman behind it. So I ended up going on the Lead with Love retreat in Bali to explore my own leadership through the prism of wellness, spirituality and ritual.
