*Late entries will not be permitted once the session begins, please arrive on-time. Limited capacity; RSVP required and names will be checked at the door. ----- What does it mean to live a well-examined life without leaving the world behind? Join us for an intimate evening in practice and conversation with Manoj Dias – teacher, author, and founder working at the intersection of ancient wisdom and contemporary culture. We'll begin with a guided breathwork and meditation session (no experience necessary), followed by a candid fireside chat exploring the tension of holding a spiritual practice in a world obsessed with performance and optimization. This event is open to all, regardless of faith background or prior mindfulness experience. Hosted by Karina Singhal (HBS MBA '26). ----- Manoj is one of the most in-demand teachers and mindful brand consultants, working with athletes, executives, schools and Fortune 500 companies (Nike, NBA, Lululemon, Netflix, Google, United Nations, MoMA, Coachella, Warner Music, and Art Basel Miami). Manoj is the co-founder of Open, a modern mindfulness studio and mobile breathwork application based in Venice, CA. He recently launched Gentle Noise, an editorial platform exploring spiritual practice in contemporary culture. He also previously co-founded A—SPACE, Australia’s first multi-disciplinary drop in meditation studio. With a discipline grounded in secular mindfulness and Buddhist meditation, as well as over 500hrs of yoga training, Manoj’s expertise spans breathwork, trauma informed mindfulness, and somatic psychology. His practice draws from both western science and eastern philosophies, and he has studied with globally renowned teachers including Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Dr Miles Neale, and Maty Ezraty.
