Founders Circle Santa Barbara

Founders Circle: Art, Attention & the Blocks That Hold You Back
A morning built for founders and executives who is in search of what's next.
Founders Circle is a five-part series grounded in neuroaesthetics (the science of how art physically changes the brain) and a framework rooted in Indian philosophy. Each session pairs one philosophical concept with a single work of art from Stewart Fine Art's collection. Sustained close attention lowers your usual defenses — which is what makes it possible to reach the blocks and fears shaping your decisions without your awareness.
This session covers Dharma — one's true purpose, or right action.
No art or philosophy background needed. Just a willingness to sit with a hard question, in a small room of people asking the same one.
What to expect:
Guided close-looking at one work of art
A philosophical lens applied through story and discussion
Small-group reflection
Light refreshments
