In this video Deepak Chopra sits down with Stedman Graham and Caroline Jones to discuss the Live Sonima Tour, a nationwide program geared toward underserved communities in public schools. Graham, a motivational speaker, discusses identity development and his mission to help students become better leaders. “School often teaches you how to memorize and take tests—if you don’t know who you are, how do you take the information to make it relevant to your life?” he asks.

Caroline Jones, a musician and founder of The Heart is Smart Initiative, shares how music can serve as an entry point to being present and understanding one’s deepest goals and desires. The ability to tap into one’s self can transform the way kids see the world. “You are in control of the way that you feel and therefore the experience and the world that you create around yourself,” says Jones.

Watch the video above to learn more about how the Live Sonima Tour inspires children and helps them develop into mindful, self-assured people.
