To Believe or Not to Believe in Yourself $999.00
Ever feel like you’re running in circles?
You’ve got a considerate and sensitive side, but then there’s another chaotic part of you that just wants to go wild and throw all that away. You feel caring and nurturing one moment, self-absorbed and aggressive the next. When we’re feeling conflicted and overwhelmed, making sense of our thoughts and emotions isn’t easy, and making any personal progress of any kind feels hopeless. How do we navigate our inner complexity and chart a clear path for ourselves?
The Rosh Chodesh Society’s course, To Believe or Not to Believe Yourself, introduces participants to Tanya, a 225-year-old text whose portrayal of human psychology in general, and of our inner spiritual composition in particular, remains as revolutionary—and as refreshing—as ever. The kabbalah-based tools it presents help us understand ourselves, in order to better regulate how we think and feel, and ultimately emerge victorious from life’s inner struggles.
