March 2025 Lecture Study | Growing with Pathwork Studies Program (GPS)

March 3, 10, 17, 24, 2025 (Monday 7:30 - 9:00 PM EST)

Led by Pathwork Helper Teresa Yang

Please join Teresa Yang to explore “Relationship with Others” in March 2025 based on Pathwork Lecture 155 Fear of Self, Giving and Receiving and 157 Infinite Possibilities of Experience Hindered by Emotional Dependency.

Welcome to this four-week study on "Relationship to Others," where we will explore the profound teachings of Pathwork Lectures 155 and 157. In this journey, we will uncover the essential truth that our ability to relate to others is inseparable from the relationship we have with ourselves.

In Lecture 155: Fear of Self - Giving and Receiving, we are invited to examine the ways in which fear prevents us from both receiving and giving fully. Our deepest resistances to true connection often stem from an underlying fear of self—fear of what might be revealed, fear of our own vulnerabilities, and fear of surrendering control. When we withhold parts of ourselves out of fear, we limit the flow of love and life itself. Learning to trust the natural movement of giving and receiving requires that we first turn inward, meeting our own self with honesty and compassion​.

In Lecture 157: Infinite Possibilities of Experience Hindered by Emotional Dependency, we explore the ways in which emotional dependency restricts our capacity for authentic relationships. When we seek validation, security, or fulfillment outside ourselves, we limit the infinite potential that exists within us. True relationship arises not from clinging or dependency, but from a place of inner freedom. Through this study, we will look at how our unconscious fears of aloneness and insufficiency create patterns of emotional entanglement, keeping us from experiencing the vast, creative possibilities of life​.

Throughout these four weeks, we will work with exercises, reflections, and discussions that will help illuminate the ways in which our inner barriers shape our external relationships. By doing this work within, we open the door to deeper, more meaningful connections with others—not from a place of lack, but from a state of wholeness.

Let this study be an invitation to explore not only how you relate to others, but how you relate to yourself. The path to true connection begins with the courage to meet yourself fully.
