Higher Self / Lower Self / Mask

To be human means we recognise our higher self, lower self and mask.  This concept is one of the foundational principles of Core Energetics.

Jung referred to the mask as the “shadow” – the part of our personality that is disowned or unconscious however drives much of our destructive behaviour leading to separation from the ones we love.

The higher self allows truth, honesty and authenticity leading to intimate connection.

The lower self is also a place of truth however is destructive and leads to separation.

The mask is not a place of truth and is worn as a socially acceptable face that prevents authentic living.

The workshop will allow participants to explore their respective higher self, lower self and mask states.  Having an embodied understanding of these states leads to a more conscious relationship with yourself and others.

The workshop is warm, expressive, experiential and respectful.  Please wear comfortable clothing.
