Experiences Create Values

We're calling an experience an activity or an event that you plan for yourself and others.

When you make decisions, you have to weigh several competing values. Choose two competing values and have a values debate. With a group, divide into two sides. One group should take one side of the issue and the other group should take the other side. Meet with your group for a few minutes to discuss the major points you want to make and then let the debate begin. Have one person serve as the moderator.

Holidays often reinforce the values of a country or culture. With your family or friends, learn about an important Yoruba festival or holiday in West Africa. Learn about some of the traditions of that holiday and the value or values that are a part of that celebration.
Orisa devotees are united by shared experiences. Show how you value the devotees in your community. Have a "white elephant" party. Have each person draw a name, and then make something that represents Orisa Lifestyle. Write a brief description of what the offering symbolizes and why it represents Orisa Lifestyle. With your friends or family, name eight renown orisa priests from anywhere in the world. Discuss what they did and why they were or are courageous. Write the names of the people on slips of paper and put them in a cup. Divide into two teams. Each team takes a turn pulling a slip of paper. The other team may ask five yes/no questions and then guess who they think the courageous person is.
Helping others can help you feel good about yourself. Use one or more of your natural gifts to do a good deed for someone else. Ask for nothing in return. Consider it a blessing to share and serve.
