2024 Saturday Featured Speaker - Martha Collard

SATURDAY MORNING FEATURED SPEAKER
Martha Collard

The Ripple Effect
When asked what she was going to do with the knowledge gained during her labyrinth training in 2010 Martha replied, ‘be the drop that starts a ripple of awareness in Asia’. From making her first portable labyrinths in a cemetery car park to temporary labyrinths the size of football fields to leading the HK Scout delegation’s offering at a global jamboree Martha’s passion for these circuitous patterns knows no bounds. Join us as she shares her multifaceted journey to educate and transform audiences one step, one labyrinth at a time.

Red Doors Studio founder Martha Collard has lived in Hong Kong for over 40 years. Her entire career is one of service and elevating others. Stepping down from her position as youngest Partner worldwide in TASA, a Swiss executive search firm in 1992, Martha began to offer management consulting on a project basis to the corporate sector. She is an executive coach, management consultant, facilitator and career counsellor, and prior to establishing Red Doors Studio was Vice President of Group Organizational Wellness for Lane Crawford Joyce Group.

Initially, she pursued alternative practices out of curiosity; then they became a source of personal growth and development. She has explored Life Dynamics, Reiki, Transcendental Meditation, Vipassana meditation, Person Centered Approach to Counselling, Access Bars, Yuen Method and labyrinths, among others. She was the founding chairman of the Yoga Society of Hong Kong and founding Editor of Namaskar magazine and is pursuing higher levels of yoga therapy training and sound healing. These days, her focus is on gong relaxation, walking on labyrinths and kundalini yoga - all practices that uplift and transform.
