BH: You are obviously big into service. With all that you do, like Off the Mat, Into the World and the Youth Aids Organization, was there anything specifically that prompted you to get involved in service work?

SEANE:  I first got involved in service back in 1984 dealing with women’s issues but I wasn’t an effective activist at all. I thought I was great but when I look back at it, I realize that I had a lot of unresolved issues around anger that I hadn’t dealt with and so I was really using the actions that I participated in as platforms to release some of the frustrated feelings that I felt inside. I was really quick to point the finger and tell other people how to live their lives but I realize now that it was incredibly unhealthy. It’s how a lot of people still participate in activism today. It’s not sustainable unless you’re doing the work on you. So I got out of activism, got very involved in yoga during this period, did a lot of deep work on myself and then ended up getting back into service.
