“To be Human is to Belong. Belonging is a circle that embraces everything; if we reject it, we damage our nature. The word ‘belonging’ holds together the two fundamental aspects of life: being and longing, the Longing of our being and the Being of our longing”
– John O’Donohue

Have you ever found yourself pondering on ‘Belonging’?
Perhaps on one of these questions…..

– What does Belonging mean?
– What does it feel like to Belong?
– What does it feel like to not belong?
– Where are the places where you feel you Belong?
– What compromises do you make in exchange to Belong?
– How does Belonging show up when you’re with your family and friends?
– How does Belonging show up in your intimate relationships?
– How does Belonging show up in your professional life?

Well, these are some of the questions that we will be exploring in ‘The Quest for True Belonging’.

Facilitated by The Quest Co-Founder and Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator, Adé Adéniji, “The Quest for True Belonging’ is a deep, empowering and playful workshop for gay, bi, trans and queer men.

Using ‘Points of You® ’ tools and methodology, along with insights from Dr Brené Brown’s bestselling book ‘Braving the Wilderness’, this fascinating experiential session explores ‘belonging’ from three perspectives – Self, Other, Community.

Our longing to Belong starts in our infancy, at home, and this is where our exploration will start. As part of our journey, we will also delve into the subtle differences between ‘fitting-in’ and ‘belonging’, as well as the sacrifices often made because of our longing to belong. At the end of the session, you will have more clarity on what Belonging looks and feels like to you, and the qualities you need to embody and express in order to bring this into the world with you.

Session Objectives:
– An opportunity to connect with your Wholehearted Self, and the ones around you from a new perspective.
– Observing your life from new points of view and experience authentic collective witnessing.
– An opportunity to cultivate the capacity and capability to belong to yourself, and have the courage to stand alone.
– Play and have fun!

So bring along your curiosity, sense of adventure and playfulness for an insightful and powerful session! You don’t need to bring any materials, the tools for our exploration will be provided.

“True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness. True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are” – Brené Brown
