Jeannie Zandi ~ Selfish, Selfless & Self-Full
Sunday, November 22, 2026 @ 10:00am-12:00noon (Pacific Time)
Event Navigation
We learn from spirituality, as well as our spiritual conditioning, that to be fully spiritual is to be selfless—but what does that mean? Many of us learned that caring for ourselves is selfish and caring for others is good. That selflessness is the standard and everything else might be us falling short. Where do our own needs, healing, and limits, fit in? How do we care deeply for ourselves without becoming self-absorbed, and truly and freely give generously from an open heart?
In this two-hour gathering, we’ll explore the territory between selfishness and selflessness, and the possibility of becoming self-full: deeply inhabiting and caring for the human being we’ve been given without making ourselves the center of the universe. We’ll look at the difference between self-care and self-preoccupation, between selflessness and self-abandonment, and how tending ourselves well can become the ground from which genuine generosity, love, and service naturally arise.
