Weekly Wellness Blog: November 20th, 2019

Thirst for knowledge is a never-ending pursuit, and the purpose of an oasis is to quench the thirst of the seeker who comes to it. Last week a couple of us had the privilege to attend INK Talks in Jaisalmer. While Sarah Sahr, Morgen Wettergen and I got to facilitate a session we also got to attend a couple of sessions. The sessions all explored the accessibility of knowledge, the parameters of knowledge consumption, and the creation of intrinsic learning experiences. We had the opportunity to facilitate Rick Smolan the Photographer and Storyteller, Monishwaran Maheshwaran the Tech Prodigy and Gautam Khetrapal the founder of LifePlugin. 

The talks were all so inspirational. I will post the talks on a later date once they are made public. I am posting a Ted Talk by Rick Smolan this week. We got to hear this story in person and as I could not capture it on tape I had to share it with all of you. Hope you like it. Click here.
