A Controversial Opening
Hey all - Curious to get your perspective on something. I recently facilitated a session that, by all accounts, was successful (especially based on feedback survey from participants). I learned afterward that two people found the welcome/opening reading "troubling." The reading was "We Welcome All Who Gather Here." I used the reading as a strategy to set a tone of acceptance and welcome - but I learned there were some very conservative participants. 1) I could have done more homework to understand the participants, AND 2) How do you balance your own values and commitment to diversity and inclusivity with those who do not share that value?

@Edgar Muit Wow. Super interesting. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I did read it as written. The funny thing is the reading took all of 30 seconds - then we had three days of powerful work that followed. With everyone's comments, I have so much more clarity on the situation.
