How do we loosen the grip of ego when it feels so real? We hear that loosening ego’s grip is a good thing, spiritually speaking, but when we try to do that, those egoic tendencies seem very deeply rooter.

The more we struggle against those egoic tendencies, the more real they seem – a bit like struggling to get out of quicksand. This presentation will discuss how to effectively loosen the grip that ego seems to have on our life.
