The conversation will focus on a less obvious but extremely important aspect of personal and spiritual development—the dangers that arise when this path is based on simplifications, illusions, or inappropriate authorities. In an open dialogue format, with active audience participation, we will look at where authentic development ends and its dangerous imitation begins.
We will touch on the topic of spiritual bypassing, i.e., escaping into “spirituality” instead of confronting real emotions and problems, as well as the phenomenon of toxic positivity, which, under the guise of self-improvement, can lead to the suppression of difficult experiences. We will also consider the risks of choosing the wrong teacher or guru and how to recognize the line between genuine practice and online pseudo-spirituality.
This meeting will be an invitation to take a critical, mature look at the development of consciousness, one that does not promise quick miracles, but is based on responsibility, mindfulness, and real work on oneself. A conversation for those who want to develop consciously, safely, and without losing touch with reality.
