Our identity is a very interesting phenomenon. We seem to carry an idea in our head about who we are, what kind of person we are and what that means about us. Identity is both valuable and dangerous at various times. Identity comes from our history and our experiences. It is both our scars and the ideas we would die on a hill for.
In some senses the identity of being “righteous person” might net you all kinds of rewards and guidance in situations where you have to decide to “do the right thing”… but it might also lead you to kill people in the name of your religion.
This workshop aims to give your identity a bit of a tune-up, and is a helpful spot-check for ensuring that you’re the kind of person that you want to be.
No preparation is required and all supplies will be provided.
