REMINDER: MARCH 4th Discussion Night at the MPRC

Good day!

The MPRC holds public discussions on random subjects pertaining to paganism and/or alternative beliefs every first Thursday of the month.

The upcoming discussion:

Topic: Our Pagan/Alternative Spirituality Identities: Internal and External Perceptions
Date: March 4th 2010
Location: (MPRC) Melange Magique boutique; 1928 Ste-Catherine Ouest, Montreal
Cost: Free (change donations welcomed to support MPRC’s community activities)

Let’s Discuss:
How we see ourselves living our paganism/alternative beliefs:
- As practicing individuals
- In our personal circles of family and friends
- As students
- As professionals
How we see ourselves as “communities” or movement:
- Personal Covens or spiritual groups
- Cultural influences on our beliefs (QC-Ont. Example)
- Is there a “need or want” for community/unity?
How the outside sees “us” / their misconceptions and our reputation:
- Are we still perceived as ‘evil worshippers’?
- Are we seen as simply following a “freak” belief system?
- Is the outside opinion important or not? Should we care?
- Discussing our beliefs, still the taboo subject?
- Should we “advocate” as once happened in the early movement?

Looking forward to seeing familiar and new faces.

Cheers,
