Getting to Know Sara - The Inspiration for our March ENSOMA Box
Our March box is about connecting with people in your life that you might not immediately have a reason to click with.
When we met an amazing woman, Sara Almerri, it was immediately clear that she possessed a rare compassion and energy that drew people to her and helped them connect with each other. We were fascinated, and compelled to find out more.
While Sara herself was born and raised in England and now lives in the USA, her extended family includes people from Brazil, Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Ireland. This isn’t her distant heritage, but the intricacies of how her family operates today. Her mother was Brazilian and her father has deep ancestral roots in England. A somewhat uncommon pairing! She has moved amongst international royalty as comfortably as connecting with the less fortunate. She credits much of her ability to connect with a wide spectrum of people to the upbringing her mother provided.
Aymii: How do you walk into a group of diverse people and immediately feel comfortable talking to any one of them?
Sara:
People enjoy someone’s interest in them and their lifestyle. Once you’re able to communicate that, you draw them in. Everyone likes to be respected, admired and understood. When you show them interest and respect - your physical energy and can communicate that - it’s half the battle won.
Aymii: What were your biggest influences in getting comfortable doing this?
Sara:
As early as 4-years-old I realized I was very fortunate to have the tools and instruments to help others. My mother taught me never to judge just by what’s on the surface along with the ability to step back. She often quoted Rudyard Kipling who said, “You need to be able to speak with kings and beggars with the same humility.”
Aymii: Throughout all of your travels and adventures, what are some things you’ve learned that you couldn’t have picked up from a book?
Sara:
Never underestimate the influence of someone’s culture. Learn to appreciate and value the nuances that exist. No matter how alien it may seem to you, it often feels right for the people who live it. Once you respect - you may not understand - but once you respect other cultures, it breeds a sense of tolerance and acceptance. It may not be what you think is right, but you can still see how people derive happiness in those worlds. As a very young child it piqued an interest in me. I wanted to pursue anthropology to understand why we criticize others rather than appreciating the happiness and peace that exists in those communities. (Aymii’s note - Sara is a lawyer, not an anthropologist, but still uses these skills extensively in her life.)
To read more about Sara’s unique life and find out about one cultural conversation shocked her to the core, join ENSOMA and check out our exclusive member materials and upcoming March box (which includes international items that reflect Sara’s life influences).
Be kind to yourself,
Aymii

ENSOMA Delivers
Experiences and Thinks Outside the (Subscription) Box
“Everyone has the ability to improve their lives, but sometimes
you need a little help to push you out of your routine.”
DENVER (February 7, 2017) - ENSOMA, a new subscription
box service, is taking an innovative approach to helping busy people develop
skills and habits to enhance the quality of their lives, one month at a time.
The company, which launched in December 2016, is
more than just a subscription box service. The ENSOMA interaction begins with a
box being delivered each month with the intention of helping the member create
a new experience.
With this intention, ENSOMA encourages members
to take a long-term view of learning, experiencing and continually practicing
underlying skills that have been scientifically proven to help lead a happier,
more fulfilled life. January’s Get Organized Box, curated by a professional
organizer, provided tools and tips to get life in order and December’s Hygge
Box harnessed the Scandinavian lifestyle complete with the simple pleasures
that are unique to the culture.
“In every box, members will find a story, a
chance to try something new, and a meaningful way to reacquaint with essential
human connections, “ said Aymii Couzelis, chief executive officer. “ENSOMA is
focused on helping our members be more present and more aware of how experiences
carry over into other aspects of their lives and using that knowledge to
improve their every day.”
ENSOMA is also actively
developing online and mobile tools to help create a cohesive, continuous
experience for members to foster a supportive community.
