Identity, a topic for the Lighthouse Café

Some headline notes that may open avenues for our discussion:

What does Identity mean/stand for?

e.g. the fact of someone/something being who they are or what it is; close alignment or affinity of one thing for another, such as an identity of interests; a bounded whole of some kind, whether physical or abstract; a means of reference, recognition, definition; a mark of continuity and distinction, of qualities that endure through changes such as ageing, etc.

Ingredients and qualities of Identity: Recognition; form and boundary (that may be permeable); expression; selfhood; Growth, waxing and waning of identity

Identity observed; identity declared; identity concealed

Identity of purpose

Three perspectives on Identity: From Three Horizons: Horizon 1, Horizon 3, Horizon 2 . What might typify these perspectives, and what differences would be apparent?

Identity in nature: identity evolved, displayed, disguised, adopted, transformed

H3Uni Online Lighthouse Cafés

You are invited to join an online reflective conversation. Lighthouse Cafés offer the chance for a small group of people to appreciatively dive into the group’s common areas of interest while creatively exploring many perspectives.

Whether you have joined one of our classes in the past or are new to H3Uni, you are most welcome to sign up! Lighthouse Cafés are open free of charge to anyone interested in having more conversations that go deeper on topics that matter.

Each Café will start with a provocative question designed to stimulate futures thinking, raise awareness of diverse views on the topic, and offer opportunities for you to self reflect. Naturally, we will tread some known and some unknown territory together towards fresh discoveries.

Feel free to join us or pass this along to someone who might be interested!
