In this episode of FEEL SEEN Space, we sat down with Marie Geneviève Cyr —fashion educator, creative director, and Zen Buddhist practitioner—whose 25+ year career spans the global fashion industry. Formerly Director of the BFA Fashion Design program at Parsons, Marie Geneviève now leads MGC Consulting, guiding creatives and leaders to design careers and lives aligned with their values and vision.
Hosted by Roxanne Doucet and Sara Van Pée, this conversation goes deep into:
• Using fashion as a tool for self-expression and confidence
• Leading with care in academic and creative spaces
• Navigating burnout, institutional politics & career transitions
• Integrating mindfulness into creative education
• Designing a life rooted in intentionality, community & spirituality
With honesty and depth, Marie Geneviève reflects on the courage it takes to let go, embrace reinvention, and live creatively while honoring both mind and body.
Whether you’re rethinking your next step, seeking balance in your work, or curious about creating a life aligned with your values—this episode is for you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
