Session 003: The Resistance & The Professional Window

"Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance." — Steven Pressfield

For our third gathering, we move from the internal shadows into the field of action. If Session 001 was the Vessel and Session 002 was the Shadow, Session 003 is the War.

We will be discussing The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. Whether you are a painter, a programmer, or an entrepreneur, this session is about identifying the "Resistance"—that universal, destructive force that keeps us from doing our work—and learning how to "Turn Pro."

The Discussion Menu: * The Amateur vs. The Pro: Why do we treat our creative work like a hobby, and what happens when we commit to it as a mandate?

• Identifying the Enemy: Procrastination, drama, and self-doubt. Which mask does your Resistance wear?
• The Professional Window: How to build a ritual that survives even when inspiration is absent.

Logistics & Vetting: * No Guests: To protect the depth of our containers, all attendees must be members of the Guild and have an individual RSVP. * Attendance Policy: If you cannot make it, please update your RSVP 24 hours in advance to allow someone from the waitlist to step into the circle.
