SUMMARY:Susanne Marie ~ Maturing the Teacher–Student Relationship: Beyond Projection and Dependency
DESCRIPTION:In this upcoming online meeting\, Susanne will explore the evolving dynamics of teacher–student relationships in spiritual spaces\, with particular attention to projection\, idealization\, and the subtle ways personal authority can be surrendered. Drawing on the insight “don’t mistake the finger for the moon\,” the conversation will examine how genuine realization is often confused with external figures\, and how both students and teachers are invited into a more mature and balanced relationship with guidance. The meeting will also reflect on a broader collective shift toward self responsibility and inner authority\, while still honoring the value of learning from others. Together\, participants will explore how to engage spiritual teaching in ways that support sovereignty\, discernment\, and healthy\, integrated spiritual growth. \nBio: Featured in conversation with Adyashanti on Buddha at the Gas Pump as well as on Conscious TV\, Susanne Marie offers integrated teachings in support of freedom\, and the celebration of our common essence of love and unity with all life. Susanne\, who lives in Northern California\, is the parent of two young adults. As a natural empath\, her teaching style is heart-centered and practical\, whose focus is on supporting you in your unique awakening journey. Susanne leads in-person retreats\, online courses\, a monthly online meeting\, and mentors individuals privately. \nFind out more about Susanne Marie: susannemarie.org \nIn this short video Susanne shares about Awakening and Spiritual Teachers: Beyond Idealization and Pedestals \n\n  \nSliding Scale: $15 to $40\nNo one turned away for lack of funds.\nIf you can’t pay within the sliding scale\, just contact us to let us know what you can contribute.\nAddress inquiries to web@opencirclecenter.org\n \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within a week.\nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter
