How To Lose Yourself - The Renaissance of Roller Skating with Chris Lorient

Chris Lorient is the founder of NYC’s outdoor roller skating pop-up, Outdoor Skates.

When the world shut down due to COVID-19, people still yearned for ways to gather and find community in the midst of difficult times. This week’s guest, Chris Lorient, founded a pop-up roller skating rink called “Outdoor Skates” in Brooklyn to create a safe space for his local community to come together and get active during the pandemic. Lorient turned his hobby into a business after seeing an overwhelming need for a place for people to “lose themselves” in an activity and find a sense of community in times of rampant social isolation. Join us for a fun and light-hearted session exploring roller-skating, community, and losing yourself in joyous rapture this week!
