Very tangible ways of looking at your power, privilege and rank.
Rank, power, and privilege are everywhere. They govern what we can and can’t do, how we conduct ourselves in conflicts, how relationships evolve…and our happiness. Privileges are sometimes given to us at birth, and sometimes we earn them. They give us the rank and power we experience in relation to others. Privileges are far more nuanced than simply being something that some have, and others don’t; there are many different types of privilege, and they interact in some fascinating ways. They sometimes feel positive, and sometimes negative. And the ones we think are going to bring us what we want in life often fail to do so.
This workshop presents you with a very tangible and understandable way of looking at privilege. It will make sense of or provide alternative perspective on a lot of the things in your world. You will then be shown more about how to gain access to the privileges you don’t have, and how sharing the ones you do have is one of the most reliable paths to happiness currently known to us. The material includes time spent considering what happens when those with power use it selfishly or without awareness. However, we’re going to have so much more fun than simply leaving the topic there.
This workshop is likely to suit those interested in self-development and self-awareness. It will benefit people in relationships, or people with an interest in ethics and politics. It will be of interest to those who want to understand (and be more at peace with) how they fit into the great social scheme of things, and to people who want to do more things in the world, and for whom more power would be useful.
People who sometimes find themselves accused of having lots of privilege will likely find this a welcoming and relieving space to explore and unfold the concepts. Ironically, so too will people who identify as not having a great deal in the way of privilege.
