International Women Riders Congress and Festival August 11 - 15, 2010 - Deerhurst Resort, Huntsville Ontario Canada Seminar: Journey of the Heart Sponsored by BMW Motorrad Lesley's zeal for life is inexorably intertwined with her motorcycle. More often than not, the symbolism and imagery of her experiences not only appear in her art, but carry meaning and insights that enrich her journey. Motorcycling has taken her on solo rides from the top of the Himalayas to a 5-month circuit of North America. Two years ago, her life was radically shifted by the death of her best friend, the finalization of a divorce, the end of an era of friendships, and the realization that sadness and madness might be taking over her life. Lesley set out on an intense 21-day motorcycle trip to Burning Man that gave her the time and space to look deep in her heart, find her freedom, let go of the sadness, and live with passion and truth again. Since then, she has worked hard to balance her roles as mother, motorcyclist, artist, and partner while not losing herself. Become captivated as Lesley brings alive her experiences of trusting and following her heart with stories and images. Biography: Lesley Gering Photo credit: Lori Eng Lesley Gering is a Mother, Motorcyclist, Journalist, Photographer, and an award -winning Emily Carr Artist Graduate. Her art crosses the mediums in photography, film, writing, video, 2-D art, and even fire performance. Her work has been published in over fifty publications worldwide, and her photography and writing have been published in over a dozen motorcycle magazines, internationally. Her "Women and the Art of Motorcycles" photographic series became a calendar with proceeds donated to Breast Cancer research. Her fascination with the machine led her to take courses where she completely dismantled and reassembled numerous motorcycles. Once she began these projects, sponsors appeared, and she began test-riding and writing reviews for motorcycle magazines around the globe. Not only is she an expert rider, she knows how to convey this zeal for mechanics and the art of riding into her life. Lesley Gering’s unique multifaceted approach, her courage to be true to herself, and her ability to inspire others, evolve from the combination of her passions – art and motorcycling. www.motorgirl.com Back to the Activities Page - Main Page
