When I first came into Mindset Dojo, I carried a lot of good energy. I’ve always had that when engaging with community. But I’ll admit — I was also a bit egotistical. I thought I knew my shadow, but on another level I was completely blind to it.
Because I didn’t have a beginner’s mindset, I sometimes convinced myself I already knew enough. In Zen, they say to always keep a beginner’s mind — because the moment you think you know everything, you stop improving. That was me: eager, visionary, driven, but not fully open.
Turning Reflection Into Reflex
Long before joining, I had already turned reflection into reflex. I was deeply introspective, focused on self-improvement, and always striving to be a better person. But even with all that, I didn’t have a mentor or guide to help me see the path of self-improvement more clearly.
That’s why Mindset Dojo means so much to me.
A Structure for Growth
Here, I’ve found both structure and intention. The rhythm of our Mat Sessions — arrival, centering, breathing, flows, and reflection — grounds my energy and gives me a framework to keep growing.
The breathing and meditation practices in particular have helped me slow down, focus, and connect with what matters most.
Conversations That Matter
Most importantly, the Dojo has given me a community where deep, sustained conversations are the norm. These dialogues are the practice ground for the conversations that matter most in life.
As the community has matured, our meetups have become more intentional, more focused, and more powerful.
A Shared Journey
There’s always room for improvement, but I truly believe we’re off to a great start. For me, the Dojo isn’t just a community — it’s a guide, a mirror, and a shared journey.
If you’re looking for a place to grow, to connect, and to strengthen your ability to lead meaningful conversations, I invite you to join us
