PLEASE NOTE: In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, this event has been changed to an online event, instead of in person. You will receive an email on Saturday, March 14, with instructions on how to join us online.

Thank you for your interest in this sharing circle, facilitated by Gurushabd Khalsa & Har-Prakash Khalsa. We hope this will be an opportunity for us to connect as a community in a healing way.

All experiences are welcome here, no matter your views on the book. You do not need to have read the book to participate, though it may be helpful in order to understand the experience of others.

Here are a few guidelines for this group discussion:

  * We will focus on sharing and processing our individual experiences
  * We will hold others' experiences the way we wish our own to be held (i.e. kindly)
  * We will seek to connect to others from the heart
  * We will follow a set discussion format and wait our turns to speak
  * We will steer clear of trying to convince anyone of anything, or debating particular facts.

The discussion format will likely be:

1. Introductions
2. Break up into smaller, more intimate circles, guided by a group facilitator
3. Take turns sharing our personal experience with the group (i.e. feelings)
4. Take turns reflecting on what has been said and how it's landing with you
5. End by taking turns sharing gratitude for something
6. Get back together in a larger circle with everyone in the room
7. Reflect on where you are at, and what has been said
8. Reflect on any further needs that you may have, moving forward
