✅Who is Mark Walsh?
“Mr. Embodiment” is the author of “Embodiment”, “The Body in Coaching and Training”, and “Embodied Meditation”. He hosts “The Embodiment Podcast” (over 1 million downloads), and led “The Embodiment Conference” (1000 teachers, 500,000 delegates). Seeing a theme yet?
He founded the “Embodied Facilitator Course”, and has trained over 2000 embodiment coaches in over 40 other countries (some of which will even let him back in).
Mark gained an honours in psychology (despite being an alcoholic at the time), and has taught widely in the corporate world where he pretended to be a grown up for years, including with blue-chip companies (e.g. Google, Unilever, Shell, Axa, L’Oreal) whom he charged wayyyy too much as they made him wear a suit.
He has also upset… sorry, taught… many yogis, NGOs, police officers and several militaries.
Mark has worked in war zones, and entertained over 50,000 children. He has headlined International Coach Federation events, taught at universities, lived with the circus in Ethiopia, founded the Sane Ukraine project, wowed celebrities and kissed a princess.
