UPDATE: MARCH 13, 2020. Due to coronavirus, we’re going to try an
experiment this time around and take this event online. We’re
currently in the process of looking at platforms to see what will
provide US with the best interactive experience. We're confident that
we can continue making this an uplifting community-oriented
experience, even under the circumstances.Advance registration is still
appreciated. Feel free to use the discount code “storyteller”.
Keep an eye out for updates too.

ReThink is an event series from the New Narrative focused on
facilitated discussions about topics that don’t often get openly
addressed; everything from sex, money, religion, to
community-building, personal identity, and self-worth. The goal is to
create an affirming space for discussion so all of us can operate with
more knowledge, language, and solidarity as we tackle the difficult
aspects of our lives.
This month we’re going to discuss Confronting Privilege
We live in a stratified society where some of us were born into
situations that afforded us health, happiness, education, and safety.
Others of us were not so lucky and might not have had as ready access
to even the most basic human needs that others took for granted. This
stratification can have long last effects on the distribution of
wealth and the social safety of large groups of people. How do we
confront privilege in our world and create a conversation around the
effects it has? How do we address our own privilege (or lack thereof)
in how we show up in the world? What do we stand to gain or lose by
having this conversation?
ReThink follows a model similar to a “World Cafe.” Each event will
feature a set of discussion tables with designated facilitators. The
facilitators will guide the table through different discussion
questions pertaining to the main topic. Attendees will split up and
rotate around, spending approximately 20 minutes at each table, before
rotating to the next one.
The hope is that by moving around and sharing ideas, a richer level of
conversation and new connections will emerge. We’ll leave time at
the end of the session to share thoughts, insights and potential next
steps with the larger group too.
The event is open to the public but advance registration is greatly
appreciated. Some of the discussions will be on sensitive topics and
might not be appropriate for everybody. We ask that you exercise
maturity and open-mindedness should you attend a ReThink event.
