Online Curiosity Circle on social entrepreneurship with @NguyenMaiHan #SocEnt #passion
Many people find it hard to connect with their hearts in daily life. They feel like they are running on a treadmill. At the same time they have that deep longing to live a life that is meaningful, adventurous and fun.
We also see people all around us who seem to be living their dreams. We see people all around us who seem to follow their hearts.
One of the best ways to warm up to listening to our hearts is to be with others who are doing the same. Sometimes we know what we want to do with our lives, we just find ourselves immobilised by something within us. Being in fellowship with people who are similarly looking to ignite their hearts helps us to fan the flames that already exist inside us. We marshal the collective energy and find ourselves alight and alive.
Whatever passionate people are doing, they are doing it with their whole being. They eat, drink and sleep it. In short, they live their passion, 24/7. They live life by the adage, “When shit happens, redefine success.” Do you also want to connect with your inner dream?

How?
This Curiosity Circle about Han’s passion for social entrepreneurship provides the space for you to get inspired by her journey… You can also ask questions in community with others and harness the collective intelligence of the Circle to come up with new ways of fanning the flames of your passion.
These are some of the questions we explore together:
- How can I tap into my passion and make more use of my intuition?
- How do I find more courage to follow my dream?
- How can I make my life more interesting?
- What more can I do to spark my curiosity?
- How can I connect with a deeper part of myself that leads me to a life well-lived?
- How might I deal with resistance?
“Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us.
Between the two stands Resistance. — Steven Pressfield
What?
A Curiosity Circle consists of a group of no more than ten like-minded people who are seeking to live a life that is true to their hearts and minds.
The speed of change is continuously accelerating. You know that new developments and trends do have an impact on you personally as well as on your job or business. However, time and budget constraints are preventing you from following courses and trainings.
Curiosity Circles are your — fast and lean — way of staying relevant and up-to-date. In each session you will learn from peers about a new topic, in the privacy of a Google Hangout. Here is a guide to help you to get started with a Google Hangout.
Curiosity Circle are enablers for connecting with other people on a thinking AND feeling level by sharing your passions in a peer learning group.
Schema
The agenda is: Talk (20 min); Reflective conversations (25 min); Conclusion (10 min); Choosing next topic & speaker (5 min). We use Google Hangouts (or Skype as a backup).
Who can participate?
Anyone who feels that they want to fan the spark into a life-giving flame.
