This week we begin our four part series on Growing Up. What comes next after shadow work? After healing the inner child, how can we embrace the subtle nuances of being a responsible adult? What does it mean to “grow up?”

We will look at behaviors that have become commonplace in our culture but speak to an antiquated immature way of approaching the world.

Also discussed today: The Peter Pan Syndrome, snooping, and psychopaths.
