The Chester Mainard Memorial Scholarship Fund has been created to assist men to participate in Body Electric workshops who may not otherwise be able to attend due to financial reasons.

Chester Mainard, one of the original teachers for the Body Electric in United States, died on March 13, 2007.

He was truly an amazing teacher and mentor to many men and women.

"Chester offered each of us so much, giving deep and loving permission to all those parts of us that were ready to emerge. The thing I heard ... in all my conversations about Chester, is this: 'He changed my life.'

"With this profound recognition, we each must make a daily choice to continue breathing fully, touching with presence and grace, and relating from the truest part of ourselves.

"This is my daily practice - continuing to learn from Chester as I deepen my embodiment and awaken the wisdom of my body. For this was Chester's central invitation: a relaxed, awake awareness of the vastness within." Chyrs
