Deepening Our Trust in Ourselves, Winter Retreat at Holy Wisdom Monastery 1

Part 1: Staying on Our Own Side

Because patriarchy conditions us to believe we’re not enough, we’ve learned habits of turning against ourselves that keep us caught in habits of self-criticism and doubt, blocking access to our open hearts and true nature. We explore how to stay connected, open, and loving towards ourselves, no matter what.
