What if the thing we’re missing isn’t another goal, another accomplishment, or another thing to do?

We spend a lot of time focused on where we’re going — what we want to achieve, accomplish, fix, or finish. But sometimes, in all that striving, we miss something important: the experience of actually living our lives while they’re happening.

Join us for this Curated Conversations & Coffee, where we’ll explore The Missing Ingredient through a short presentation and guided small-group conversation.

We’ll consider questions about goals, achievement, attention, experience, and what it means to be fully present for the life we’re already living.
This isn’t a lecture, and there are no right answers. It’s an opportunity to slow down, think about ideas we don’t always make time to think about, and hear perspectives we might not otherwise encounter.

Hosted by Nancy Nolley, Founder, Your Brilliant Path

This conversation was inspired by Ian Bogost’s recent Atlantic article, “The Missing Ingredient of Modern Life: Why We Need Wonder.” No advance reading is required.
