We can never be free to create our lives if we are in service to fixed, internalized, and largely unconscious ideas. We will engage questions which stir, sift, and raise consciousness of these deeply ingrained “ideas” which autonomously govern our lives. With increased consciousness comes increased possibility of the recovery of a more authentic journey. (Please bring a pad and pen for journaling).
