The Inauthentic Self

4.7

Details

Pull back the curtain on your true self at The Inauthentic Self: Spiritual Growth Class, a cozy evening workshop all about dropping masks and living more truthfully. Tucked inside the tranquil Casa de Luz Village in Austin, this one-hour class invites you to explore why you hide parts of yourself, and how to step into a more honest, grounded way of being.

Guided by spiritual teacher Corrin Gani, the class blends gentle self-inquiry, teaching, and practical tools you can start using right away. Think of it as a compassionate mirror: you’ll get to notice where you’re being performative, people-pleasing, or over-editing yourself—without any shame, just curiosity.

  • Date & Time: Wednesday, May 20, 2026, from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
  • Cost: $10 at the door (cash, check, Venmo, Zelle)
  • Where: Serena Room at Casa de Luz Village in Austin
  • Vibe: Reflective, mellow, supportive, and welcoming to all experience levels

The theme of the evening is cultivating authenticity—not as a buzzword, but as a lived practice you can carry into your relationships, work, and spiritual path. You’ll explore the quiet forces that nudge you into inauthentic roles and personas, and discover how to recognize when you’re drifting away from your real self.

During the class, you can expect to touch on these key questions:

  • How to become more authentic: Simple, actionable shifts to speak and act from a place of truth instead of performance.
  • How and why we cultivate inauthenticity: Unpacking the subtle ways we adapt, edit, and self-protect—often without realizing it.
  • Indicators you’re being inauthentic: Emotional and physical cues that your words or actions don’t match your inner reality.
  • How to break free and be yourself: A process for loosening old patterns, reconnecting to your inner voice, and standing in your own unique strength.

This gathering is designed for anyone who senses they’re “playing a role” too often—whether in relationships, at work, or even in spiritual spaces—and wants a kinder, more aligned way to live. You don’t need any prior experience with spiritual classes; bring your curiosity, a willingness to reflect, and maybe a notebook for insights that land.

As the evening unfolds, you’ll have space to slow down, reflect, and notice where you’ve been hiding behind expectations, personas, or old stories. The intention is that you leave not just inspired, but with a clear, practical framework you can use to meet daily life with more honesty, courage, and inner ease.

If you’ve been craving a reset and a chance to meet yourself more deeply—beyond the filters and performance—this one-hour spiritual growth class offers a gentle yet powerful doorway into a more authentic you.

At the heart of Casa de Luz is their renowned plant-based restaurant serving organic, vegan, gluten-free meals prepared without refined oils or artificial additives.
