We have rescheduled this event to Thursday, November 12th.

Let's play with our puzzling beliefs about privilege.

When was the last time you felt entitled to something? The need to head to the front of the line, live in a certain neighborhood, be spoken to or addressed in a loftier way than someone else? How are you more special?

What do we consider to be universal entitlements? Should we all have the right to practice our religion and cultural heritage freely? A right to earn a living wage, access to adequate food and shelter, medical care, a sense of well being and safety? How do you react when someones perceived entitlements seem to encroach upon your personal space and individual rights? Who decides who gets to be entitled, and to what degree?

Using The Work of Byron Katie, we will explore how we came to acknowledge our privilege or the lack thereof. Is our sense of privilege derived from a childhood where we were taught we were at the center of the universe? Or does our sense of entitlement stem from old wounds where we felt we were mistreated or did not get what we needed in the past? How often are we resenting someone else’s assumed entitlement or feeling guilt and unworthiness about our own?

There are no apologies needed, and we are not asking for correctness. We are aiming for increased awareness of our privilege and an opportunity to do our part to engage intentionally in our evolving world.

All are welcome; just bring your beliefs and your open mind.
