Ryan Leier<\/a>, affectionally known as Ryan the Lion, is such joy to work with. This year, he’s offering a Speakeasy<\/a>, a few exquisite yoga classes<\/a> and he’s co-leading our Voyager Immersion<\/a>. In this video, Ryan tells us the story of losing his daughter, Thora Grace, just shortly after her birth.<\/p>\n
