TEDxStanleyPark is a legendary annual event that introduces creative and optimistic ideas about significant issues to a community of open and curious minds. These ideas stimulate, inspire and energize actions that change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world.

This year’s theme of the event is Ideas to Action: Innovative Talks for Optimistic Changemakers and this newest round of speakers will be touching upon exciting topics such as, putting lust back into our marriages, decreasing worry and increasing peace of mind, and how being different can be the best thing ever. The list of new speakers include:

Maureen McGrathSexless Marriage: The Growth in Sexless Marriages is an Epidemic. How Can We Get Lust Back Into Our Marriages? Love, marriage and sex all at the same time? Unrealistic perhaps given that over 50% end in divorce and of the remaining marriages, 20% are sexless. Is it the social construct of marriage that makes sex an expectation that couples cannot meet? Why we’ve lost the lust and ways to get it back in marriage.

Isabelle MercierThe Gift of a Zero Tolerance Life: A Simple Model to Decrease Worry and Increase Peace of Mind. 95% of North Americans either go to bed or wake up worrying about something; and worrying is the #1 bulb dimmer and performance killer of all time. Isabelle has discovered that what we tolerate we worry about and reveals her simple but powerful model to decrease worry and increase of peace of mind.

Gary PattersonBe Different and Proud of It: We Have Hidden Candles Under Bushes for Too Long, Let Them Light the World. Diversity lies at the heart of the universe. But, although we humans reflect that reality, we are not always comfortable with it. Unfortunately, religion is too often used to justify and support intolerance, instead of expanding our vision. The growing change in attitudes toward LGBT people is good example of religion at its worst and best.
