The inner critic is the part of us which tries to keep the ego in line, using different tools to keep the unconscious unconscious. It is a structure which incorporates the do’s and don’t s of our caretakers when we are small. Unfortunately, it keeps giving us that same advice as we grow older, often in a voice which is not supportive, even berating at times. Any true spiritual path will put pressure on this system. In this class we will explore the terrain of the inner critic for each person. We will use tools of meditation, personal inquiry and psychological exercises to learn more about this coercive agent. As we learn more, we start to get more space from the inner critic and it exerts less power in our lives allowing more freedom and wholeness. Students should be prepared for guided exploration in groups of two and three.
