Delighted to announce The School of You's first offering in 2025. And it is complimentary. And the new year is a perfect time to zoom out and take a big picture view on life. The School of You is committed to bringing you creative ways of self awareness, and this is the first of the series. In this 1.5 hour session, Samhita Arni and I use the story "The Mouse Merchant" as an excuse to look inward and challenge unconsciously held beliefs about money and success. The Mouse Merchant is a classic Jataka tale that reflects the ultimate aspirational dream: the journey from rags to riches. It captures a universal fascination with resourcefulness, ambition, and success. But have you ever wondered if there is a problem with this being the more popular narrative around money and success. Join us for an imaginative and reflective workshop as we: - Explore why stories like the Mouse Merchant resonate so deeply with cultural and personal ideals. - Examine the gaps in this narrative. What does it overlook? - Rewrite the Story. Using our creativity, intuition, and imagination, we’ll rewrite the Mouse Merchant tale to reflect diverse perspectives on money and success. Together, let’s think wildly, step beyond conventional ideas, and discover how stories shape our beliefs about wealth, success, purpose, opportunity, and generosity. Together, we’ll craft new narratives that align with our values and expand the possibilities for how we live our lives. Join us if you have been curious about the cultural allure of the rags-to-riches dream. And the idea of turning a story on its head appeals to you. When & Where: Date: January 10th, 2025 (Friday) Time: 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm Online on zoom  Complimentary and open to all Let’s rewrite the story—not just the one about the Mouse Merchant, but the ones we live by.
