Selfhood is a complex topic that humans have attempted to understand throughout our history.  What exactly does it mean to be a self?  How we answer this question impacts the way we understand life and how we interact in the world.  In her book, The Space Between Us, Betty Pries, explores 3 aspects of self which she collectively calls the Architecture of Selfhood: the descriptive self, the defended self, and the deeper self.  The descriptive self is the face given us at birth and is comprised of our characteristics, strengths and limitations, and our history/experiences.  The defended self is created to protect ourselves.  It is the mask we wear and is the self we most often inhabit in our interactions with the world.  It lies between our descriptive self and our deeper self.  The deeper self is analogous to Unity’s concept of the Christ within. 

This interactive workshop explores the 3 aspects of self, how these selves interact, and includes skills and practices for releasing our attachment to the defended self and showing up more authentically in the world.
