Description
Your False Self is what your ego thinks you are. The False Self is an outgrowth of childhood experiences, social, cultural, religious and familial constructs. It is a series of agreements made with parents, teachers, friends and community leaders – to keep you ‘good’, safe, ‘in line’ and uniquely ‘you’. It is our very young perception of how we are ‘supposed’ to be, it is our hidden ‘container’ in life. We generally go through life without awareness of this False self that causes us to lean outside of our true center, that takes us out of the gravity/weight of our true center of being. Although it is a normal psychological structure, it can create problems as we grow through life and want more room to BE. We may long for more meaning, more authentic expression or more clarity, joy or power. Many of us have already moved towards center but still feel ways we are a bit ‘off’ the mark. Maybe we feel the call towards something bigger, a life with more fluidity, or the courage to take meaningful, life affirming risks.
In this Mini-Retreat we will play with ways we get stuck in loops of being our False Self, we will invite conversation with this necessary part of Self and get curious about what else might guide and inspire our growing sense of Self…playing with ways we are expanded and connected well beyond the stories we have been told about who we are.
Take the afternoon to fully engage, through direct experience, to discover and FEEL the weight of your centered, true Being. Relax as you are guided by the mastery of Dr. Shannon through ritual & journey, dance, symbolic art making, reflective writing and inner work. Experience being held by the Luminous Life Maps system and Dr. Shannon Simonelli’s 30 years of expertise.
