A chance conversation between meditation teacher Amanda Weber and underwater filmmaker Martina Wing grew into Manta Ray Meditations, a guided video meditation series with underwater manta footage. 

This episode explores how the project came together during the 2020 lockdown and why the meditations still resonate today.

In this conversation, you'll hear:

• Amanda’s journey from 20 years in corporate marketing to teaching meditation
• What it's like to swim with manta rays at night (and why it sticks with you)
• How two people with different skills used their creativity to help the world heal
