Courage, Compassion & Connection

Based on the research of Brené Brown, and her book, "The Gifts of Imperfection", this drop-in group is for anyone who is interested in letting go of perfectionism, feeling of being a fraud or imposter, and not feeling worthy, and are willing to become daring, authentic and live wholeheartedly.

We will be meeting the third Thursday of each month. Each meetup will cover one guidepost from the book, “The Gifts of Imperfection”. Reading "The Gifts of Imperfection" can be beneficial, but not required before each meetup.

For January's meetup, we will focus on the intention, "I will carry courage, compassion, and connection in my heart while on this journey."

If you are reading The Gifts of Imperfection, read the following sections prior to this meetup:

• Preface, pages ix – xv
• Introduction: Wholehearted Living, pages 1-6
• Courage, Compassion, and Connection: The Gifts of Imperfection, pages 7-22
• Exploring the Power of Love, Belonging, and Being Enough, pages 23-30
