What is The Daring Way workshop?

Designed to help participants understand how vulnerability and courage are linked together, the Daring Way Workshop uses Brené Brown’s research and work to help define the relationship between vulnerability, scarcity, shame, and comparison. We also begin to process why we are susceptible to shame when we practice vulnerability and courage.

The workshop will enable us to examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be holding us back. We will identify new choices and practices that move us towards an authentic and wholehearted living.

Objectives

• Understand the connection between personal values, shame and resilience.
• Demonstrate how trust is built incrementally and over time.
• Point out the four myths of vulnerability.
• Understand the relationship between empathy and trust.
• Assess the power of shame messages, and learn to develop tools to integrate compassion. 

The sessions will be around the following themes:

• How values light the way
• Trust and the Marble Jar concept
• Vulnerability Myths
• Empathy and Self-Compassion
• The Arena
• Shame and the Arena
• Understanding shame
• The Armoury
• Shame Shields
• Identities and Triggers
• Rumbling with criticism
• Rumbling with anxiety
• Gratitude 

We will be using content created by Brené Brown and worksheets for reflection. We will be working both in small and large groups.
