Heritage, Legitimacy, Identity: when the order of these three words changes, their meaning changes, just as the dynamic energy system that is a person, this being-in-the-making, changes over the course of his or her life in relation to his or her environment.

For us, while aware of the brain’s plastic capacity (Bohler), being-in-the-making places the individual at the crossroads of his past and his future (Pépin).

Examining, unravelling and combining these three relational processes of inheritance, legitimacy and identity with greater awareness is what motivated us to present this workshop.

The aim is to get closer to one’s true Self, to distinguish it from Executive Power, to shed a little more light on the singular frame of reference of our Integrated Adult, today, when the stakes of our humanity seem to me to be a guarantee of survival for our species.

The theoretical notions addressed will be those of the cultural scenario, misunderstandings, contaminations and structural analysis.

Several distinct phases:

• Setting up the group of participants.
• Provide the TA notions required for the workshop.
• Implementation in small groups

In search of contaminations, prejudices and illusions with regard to the individual cultural scenario: the frame of reference of the moment.

Distinguish between the Executive Power and the True Self with regard to the Cultural Scenario in three ways:

• Using questioning to decontaminate
• Detecting impasses
• Moving towards awareness and active behavior

Choose whether or not to modify the frame of reference

Come back to the large group: a discovery about the cultural scenario and your true Self

Conclusion: The Self system reorganizes memories of experiences and learning, according to successive and irreversible experiences, to maintain the singular coherence of who I am.
