Dear <<First Name>>,
PLEASE RSVP HERE if you are attending the upcoming KASHA AGM on November 17th, 6pm, Curling Club
We will be voting for two new board members and re-electing two of our present board members.
We will also be setting some goals for the upcoming year.
If being on the board for KASHA is something you're curious about, please feel free to contact me at (grow@askuskelowna.ca) for more information. A few of the positions will be coming up soon, and we are looking to fill them. KASHA is in its fifth year (already!!) and hopes to keep forging ahead!
You can sign-up to be a member or renew for 2022-23 HERE
We will eat at 6pm and maybe start the meeting at 7:30pm.
Some of us will be attending the World Religious Conference tomorrow. They have kindly allowed us to have a table... maybe we will get more recruits.
The Thursday morning gatherings have now moved to early lunch gatherings at the curling club. Go to our Calendar HERE
You might have noticed in an email notification that KASHA is participating in Tremendous Trivia again! There is a change of venue, and we'll now be attending the trivia nights at Chances Casino at 1585 Springfield Road. We plan to meet there every fourth Monday of the month at 6pm.
Thinking with you,
Nina

KASHA COVID Policy:
KASHA follows the COVID guidelines laid out by the BC health authorities and therefore will not require vaccination to attend events and activities after 7 April 2022. However, given that many KASHA members are at a higher risk than the general population, it is preferred that attendees be fully vaccinated against COVID 19.

What happens when Yoga Masters & Crystal Healers meet Trucker Convoys & QAnon.... Conspirituality is the outcome!
Thanks to Joyce for a fascinating presentation on Conspirituality, there was a lot to digest. If you couldn't attend, or would like re-hash some of the points, you can go here to download Joyce's presentation and handouts.

Yes, this rally does lack logic except, perhaps, from Korry who was recently beat up by the freedom lovers! https://www.vernonmorningstar.com/news/man-assaulted-at-anti-covid-protest-in-vernon/

Book List
On our website, we've added a list of books; if you have anything you'd like to add to the list, feel free to email us at think@askuskelowna.ca I've slowly been working my way through the fascinating book "Belief: What It Means to Believe and Why Our Convictions Are So Compelling" by James E. Alcock. The book is crammed with a wide range of topics: the inaccuracy of memories; the meanings of dreams (and no, not the sort of "meaning" like, if a dog bites you, it means that you're "struggling with someone's disloyalty towards you"...and if he bites you on the left hand, it means something different than if it's the right hand!); cognitive biases; alternative medicine; magic and superstition; and the origins, social aspects, and emotions that play a big role in religion.
