SUMMARY:Dorothy Hunt ~ Me\, Myself\, and I:  An exploration of ego\, self\, and truth  (In-Person Event)
DESCRIPTION:Spiritual seekers are quite concerned about “ego”.  It seems to be the “bad guy” in the spiritual search\, the thing that must “die” in order to be liberated.  But what is it?  Is it real? Is there really a solid little self sitting inside your skin\, thinking your thoughts\, feeling your feelings\, searching for truth\, striving to improve\, trying to “be present\,” judging the world\, and separate from the wholeness of being?  \nPlease join Dorothy Hunt for this exploration of our belief in an “ego\,” what we perceive to be a “self\,” and the deeper truth of what lies beyond our conditioned ideas. Awareness makes “ego” transparent when we are curious and devoted to the truth of who or what we are. \nThe ego is like one’s shadow thrown on the ground.\nIf one attempts to bury it\, it will be foolish.\n~ Ramana Maharshi \nDorothy Hunt serves as Spiritual Director of Moon Mountain Sangha\, teaching at the request and in the spiritual lineage of Adyashanti.  She was the founder of the San Francisco Center for Meditation and Psychotherapy and practiced psychotherapy from 1967 until her retirement in 2021. Dorothy has a deep and abiding connection to Ramana Maharshi as well as the nondual teachings of Zen and the Christian mystics.  She is the author of Ending the Search:  From Spiritual Ambition to the Heart of Awareness\,  Leaves from Moon Mountain\, Only This! and a contributing author to both The Sacred Mirror and Listening from the Heart of Silence. \nwww.dorothyhunt.org \nSatsang: 2-4 pm\nRefreshments: until 5\nSuggested Donation:  $10- $20\, no one turned away.\nNo reservation needed.
