This 78 minute Introductory Seminar details what the Sense of Self is, how it is formed, how it changes over time, and how you can grow it stronger using tools and understandings gained in this program. It makes the case for why we, as a society, are currently experiencing an epidemic of low sense of self and how we can heal those wounds and reclaim our birthright of esteeming and loving ourselves and others.
Episode videos, ranging from a few to ten minutes or so in duration, are either conceptual--in which ideas, stories, research, or exercises are presented to broaden the understanding of the sense of self and its dynamics--or physical skills oriented presenting detailed self-defense techniques including falling skills. Gaining physical skills generally requires the participation of a partner and that holistic sharing and nurturing is crucial to benefiting from this program. New episodes will be added every few days.
