Do we really know ourselves? Are we the things we own, the roles we play, the identities we defend — or is there something more?

*In ancient Chinese, there are two different characters for “I.”*
*One “I” is built on a weapon — a self that must defend in order to exist.*
*The other “I” turns inward — a self that listens more than it guards.*

Between these two lies a long arc of history. What changed in us, as humans, for the meaning of “I” to evolve this way?

**What might this difference reveal about the journey from who we appear to be, to who we truly are?**

In this session, we’ll explore these two characters as a doorway into self-understanding. Not through study or theory— but through reflection, dialogue, and shared insight.

No knowledge of Chinese is required. Just curiosity, presence, and a willingness to turn inward— one word at a time.
