It's been a long time since we posted in here because things are changing at The Mission Business. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and supported us over the years!

We are in the midst of creating experiences that connect more and more people together. You can check out Deep Dive Dinners, a monthly dinner series happening in Toronto that connects strangers to talk about big topics, or join us for Camp Wild Hearts, our biggest adventure in a number of years - an all-inclusive adult summer camp experience outside of Toronto happening September 13-15th, 2019. We'd love to have you a part of all the shenanigans!

We haven't posted in a while... we are deep in the creative cave, working up some magic to be revealed soon... stay tuned, stay connected to each other and stay inspired!

Adventure 4: you know more than you think you do

Adventure #3 - Anti-Climactic Dog Bathing

Sometimes, you prepare for the antics of an adventure and those antics don't arrive. I think this is tied to our expectations of how something is supposed to go. I was certainly prepared for this adventure to go awry, to make a mess, for things to get wet, for Grover to freak out. But nope. He was a champ.

Sometimes in planned adventures, we just don't get what we think we were coming for and that's ok. What we get is whatever shows up. And we celebrate that.

Interested in joining for an adventure? The Hysteria Society meets weekly for group adventures starting April 4th, and we have some limited spaces left for 1:1 adventure coaching. Send us a DM!

Gals!

It’s time to jump off your screen and into your life.

This is a first ever, brand new, ground breaking group for women.

This is like GIRL GUIDES but for adults and it’s designed for YOU.

To help you get back into your life.

Back into your body.

Trying things you’ve always wanted to do but thought you didn’t have the time or the skill or the personal assistant to set it up for you.

And it’s happening in TORONTO.

It’s called The Hysteria Society.

You will meet once a week with women who will become your new inner-circle of adventure sisters. You will come back home into yourself by trying new things that bring your senses to life, kick-start your creativity, teach you new skills and give you AMAZING stories to tell in your blog, posts or morning pages.

And...there's badges!

The adventure of a lifetime begins January 30th to March 13.
ONLY 3 spots left.

This is a game changer. A wake up call. The thing you’ve been waiting for to pull you out of your seat and make you feel alive.

This is for YOU.

Five years ago, The Mission Business incorporated as a business to bring ZED.TO to the world. We were inspired by bringing our various spheres of expertise together and to use creativity to bring new solutions to a growing list of frustrations we collectively held with the entertainment world. When we started the company we had no idea that we’d create a organization that would serve businesses and business leaders in a variety of industries using the creativity we had discovered and developed. We have grown as a group and as individuals over the last five years in ways that we may not have if we didn’t take the chance on ourselves and our initial collisions.

On June 21st, 2017, exactly five years from the date we incorporated the business, The Mission Business founders mutually decided that it was time for us to satisfy some burning experiments and needs as individuals and head in separate directions.

We are so thrilled to announce that The Mission Business will move forward with Elenna Mosoff at the helm! We are confident in her ability and ecstatic about her vision for taking The Mission Business into its new future!

For more information and to be first to hear the announcement regarding the upcoming new vision for the company and to get emails with all kinds of free stuff, please visit our website at www.themission.biz and join the mailing list.

Our friends Future Scouts Summer Session 2016 are running an incredible and FREE 2 weeks summer day program for teens in LA from July 11-22nd!! There's a few spots left and the deadline for applying is NOW. This program combines futures thinking, technology, art + science and storytelling to create an experiential learning environment. If you've got a teen or know one, sign 'em up! http://futurescouts.co

FutureScouts introduces middle and high school aged youth to the practice of imagining and prototyping possible futures, while using the city as our laboratory. They are introduced to key technological developments over the next 5-15 years and their potential impact on the future of work, play, money, food, health and culture. Future Scouts receive training in essential 21st century survival skills such as self-directed learning, collaborative problem-solving, futures + systems thinking, and critical making.

If you have or know anyone with teens who need something to do in July, send them to http://futurescouts.co!

You can also support Future Scouts by contributing to their GoFundMe to help cover the costs of the program and sponsor scout tuition: http://gofundme.com/futurescouts
