Presentation Description:
The Paradox of Relationship: "I alone must become myself; I cannot become myself alone." -Pittman Mcgeehee
Join us in our on-going conversation about Love. Tonight's topic will be Narcissism. What is narcissism? What does it serve? Is it "healthy" or "unhealthy"? How might it get in the way of loving? What might the relationship be between narcissism and spirituality? What do thinkers such as Stephen Johnson, Thomas Moore, Erich Fromm, Cyprian Smith and Idries Shah have to say about it?
Please join us to discuss these and other mysteries, weaving in psychological, Jungian, and sociological concepts. Our discussion will focus on relationship as a process instead of as a goal. Through this examination, we have the opportunity to bring more clarity, understanding and awareness to both our conscious and unconscious ideas of love with the possibility of making room for new ones to emerge.
