We’re not born with a sense of Self, it’s something we construct throughout our lifetime beginning with the emergence of representational thinking around the ages of 3 or 4. As we learn our name, differentiate our likes and dislikes, develop skills to categorize the world around us, and embrace living as a Self separate from other people, we experience an array of life challenges. What complicates things is we tend to live life disconnected from the truth that all things are impermanent. We do our best to hold on to what makes us feel safe, secure, loved, or worthwhile. But the harder we grasp at our attachments, the more suffering we perpetuate on ourselves. In this webinar we’ll explore the idea that there is something that does not change, a True Self delineated by all the great spiritual traditions that when remembered and experienced, can serve as a central organizing force in life.

In this training you will learn:

• How the Self is constructed throughout life and becomes veiled from True Nature

• Why living a life of parts disconnected from True Nature perpetuates suffering

• Ways to access True Self via the direct and indirect paths

• Resources to guide contemplative practices
