MAD Women & sexy sea creatures

Sheree Marris

The inaugural MAD Women event on May 20, 2011 was a great success, with a thought-provoking presentation by Sheree Marris, environmental ambassador and author of KarmaSEAtra, Sex Lives of Sea Creatures.

Sheree’s unique approach to environmental ‘infotainment’ was both funny and inspiring. The MAD crowd was blown away by the beauty and diversity of sea life in our own Port Phillip Bay – we can expect a convoy of Mansfield families heading down to Rye next summer to snorkel around Sheree’s Octopuses’ Garden, Victoria’s first snorkelling trail.

Some pearls of wisdom from Sheree:

  • Look after yourself – work life balance is vital for good health, and your health is your number 1 priority
  • Don’t listen to anyone who says you won’t make it – believe in yourself
  • Sometimes the most incredible life and opportunity is right on your doorstep – take a dip in Port Phillip Bay and find out for yourself!
