Unlocking Your Inner Doorman: A Journey with Kafka's "Before the Law"
Join Swan, a seasoned philosopher, existential doula, and guide, for a compelling discussion centered on Franz Kafka's enigmatic parable, "Before the Law." This brief yet profound story isn't just a literary masterpiece; it's a powerful mirror reflecting our own struggles with purpose, choice, and perceived limitations. No prior knowledge of Kafka is needed—just an open mind and a curiosity to explore the hidden pathways within yourself. Prepare for a lively and insightful discussion that will illuminate your own journey and inspire you to walk "through the gate" to your own untapped potential.

In this engaging hour, we won't just analyze Kafka's words. Instead, we will use the doorman and the man from the country as archetypes to:
 * Discover your "Inner Doorman": The unseen barriers and grand illusions that sometimes prevent us from moving forward in life.
 * Challenge Your Own "Laws": Explore how our interpretations and internal narratives might be holding us back from taking risks, embracing change, and truly living.
 * Embrace Your Freedom: Unlock your inherent power to choose who you are, to challenge your own limitations, and to step fully into your authentic self.
