About this Event
Real transformation begins somewhere unexpected.
From the time we're young, we're taught to become more.
More successful.
More productive.
More accomplished.
More influential.
More respected.
And while growth is one of life's greatest pursuits...
what if we've misunderstood where real transformation actually begins?
Join us as we explore one of the most profound ideas in Chassidus—one that quietly challenges one of our culture's deepest assumptions about what it means to grow.
Whether this question shows up in your work, your relationships, or simply in the quiet conversations you have with yourself, this evening invites you to explore a radically different understanding of personal growth.
No prior Jewish knowledge required.
Expect an evening that is thoughtful, practical, deeply spiritual, and immediately applicable to everyday life.
You'll Discover
• Why growth can sometimes leave us feeling like we're still chasing something.
• The surprising difference between becoming more and revealing more.
• A perspective on personal transformation that turns conventional self-improvement upside down.
• Practical practices for bringing this perspective into everyday life.
