Ego

The word ego comes directly from Latin where it means “I” or “I myself”. It balances our 'primal urges' (the Id) with moral standards (the Superego). When there's any imbalance, anxiety, insecurity or arrogance ensues. So its purpose is as a 'leveler' or 'interface' which enables us to function in a manor acceptable by the society we find ourselves in.

It is believed that a healthy ego provides self confidence and the ability to accept criticism and resilience. There are other interpretations of what the ego is and how it serves us. We look forward to you sharing your perspective on this subject.

Join us for an open discussion in a safe non judgemental environment.

**Cost: £7.50.
(We'd really like you to join us, don't let money be an issue. Contact us directly if you're in financial difficulty).

Bring along your curiosity, your willingness to listen, and your open mind.
Please come along, feel supported, inspired, and part of a growing conscious community.

What is Conscious Cafe? We aim to bring you together with like-minded people who want to explore and expand personal growth, to increase self-awareness and to engage in conscious conversations which create deeper connections with one another.
If you have found your way to Conscious Cafe you are likely to enjoy thoughtful conversations about how you want to live your life, what your values are, and what you can do to help create a better world for everyone. You will be interested in exploring other people’s points of view and in connecting with others at a heartfelt level.

Important to know
We'll be sharing many different perspectives and views. To ensure that we create a safe and welcoming space, we ask that you be willing to listen respectfully without interrupting.
