The Inner Guide vs. the Inner Critic: The Journey from Judgment to Love

Participants will learn to recognize and gain some leverage with the part of the personality known as the “inner critic.” It often shows up as we contemplate doing something new and spiritually challenging. It can be confused with the Guide, can sound like an authority figure, and can sow doubt and uncertainty. We can learn how our own critic works, and how to distinguish it from the loving energy of the Guide. In these times, we need any tool we can find to help us gain clarity about the way forward! Limit of 23 participants.

Christine’s Pendle Hill pamphlet The Inner Guide versus the Inner Critic: The Journey from Judgment to Love (PHP #448) is recommended reading because the workshop will expand on and offer experiences relevant to the concepts presented there. It can be purchased when you register or separately, here.

Program schedule:
6:00pm – 7:30pm, March 1, 3, and 5, 2021

NB: All scheduled sessions are Eastern Time (US & Canada).
