​Description

General Details

  • ​What does it mean to build a business or a life rooted in genuine service? This intimate live conversation explores the practice of reciprocity — not as a strategy or a marketing angle, but as a foundational way of moving through the world.

What to Expect

  • Dave Ahmuty, Present Practice's Head of Seva, and Rachel Musquiz, founder of Curcuma and Doula Kitchen, come together for an honest dialogue on what it looks like to build with the world in mind rather than just the bottom line.

    • The conversation will explore karma yoga as lived practice, the relationship between personal wellbeing and collective care, how reciprocity reshapes the way we make decisions as founders and leaders, and what it means to build businesses that genuinely give back — to people, to communities, and to the planet.

    • This is not a lecture. It is a living example of the principle at the heart of Day 4: that the most powerful thing we can build is something that serves more than ourselves.
