In search of the lost paradise

Saturday
11:00-13:00
We are fumbling our way to love, belonging, peace – inner peace, peace in the world, peace of mind. We experience moments where we feel we are getting closer; at other times, it seems to slip further away the harder we try to find it. Is it even achievable? Are we looking in the right places? Is the search itself getting in the way? This workshop will not end with a plan or even good advice. It will begin with an introduction to the psychological phenomenon of narcissism, followed by a discussion of its implications for the culture we all create and share and our sense of identity and belonging.
