The Daring Way™ Three day Intensive Training 26th Oct 2018. Show up, be seen, live brave.

Southsea Portsmouth, Hampshire, United Kingdom

A three-Day, highly experiential, intensive training based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown designed to support men, women, and young people to learn how to show up, be seen, and live braver lives. The primary focus is on developing shame resilience skills and daily practices that transform the way we live, love, parent and lead.

During the three-day intensive workshop we will explore topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame, and worthiness. We examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding us back, and we identify new choices and practices that move us toward more authentic and wholehearted living.

Aching Heart Day November & December 2018

Clanfield Clanfield, United Kingdom

You are invited to join for an afternoon gathering of shared grief and shared praise. 4th November and 16th of December The Aching Heart is offered as a chance to come together, to bear witness to what is happening in our midst and to practice the skills of grief, praise and brokenheartedness. Our afternoon will be spent sharing and listening. We will speak both to the losses and sorrows that have visited our lives and this wonderful web of life upon which we all depend, as well as the incredible wonder and gift of being alive. We will gather just before 12 noon and share something to eat together before we sit together. "What does it take to stand quietly like somebody under a clear midnight sky, taking it all in? Things going well doesn’t seem to help with this. Good fortune isn’t pervasive on this matter and it rarely gives us pause. It’s when the news isn’t good news, that’s usually the time you find the limits of what you can bear to know." - Stephen Jenkinson Aching Heart Days were first offered by Harry Kloser-Pitcher in Vienna and our thanks goes to him for gifting the name and […]

The Work That Reconnects

Southsea Portsmouth, Hampshire, United Kingdom

Are you sometimes overwhelmed by the unraveling of our world - the climate crisis, species extinction, violent conflict, increasing inequality? The Work That Reconnects is a way back to connection with ourselves and each other, and into meaningful action. This one day event will travel through the deep ecology methodology developed by eco-philosopher Joanna Macy. It will include perspective shifting exercises and nature connection practices to support us to explore how we feel about our planetary crisis and deepen our understanding about our connection to all life. Bearing witness to all this, we can find the courage and resilience to support ourselves and each other through these challenging times. And we can find meaningful and life serving ways to engage in the work that is needed. Workshops are offered in Gift, encouraging mutual support and connection through gratitude, which can be expressed in many ways, including 'paying it forward', practical help, or donation. Please register through this link to book your place. Priority will be given to people already involved in Portsmouth Extinction Rebellion.

A few of the themes appearing in the film: Where does our culture’s death phobia come from? Is there such a thing as good dying? How is it that grief could be a skill instead of an affliction? Who are the dead to us? How can seeing your life’s end be the beginning of your deep love of being alive? Film screening followed by questions/discussion Time – doors open at 19.00 refreshments available, film is 70 minutes long and we will start at 19.30. Time for […]
