SUMMARY:Rising Strong™ Workshop (London - September 2023)
DESCRIPTION:Rising Strong™ is about what it takes to get back up and how owning our stories of struggle gives us the power to write a daring new ending.\n\n\nJoin us in September 2023 for Rising Strong™ Workshop \n“The truth is that falling hurts. The dare is to keep being brave and feel your way back up” – Brené Brown \nRising Strong™ is a process based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. Her pioneering work uncovered a profound truth: Vulnerability – the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome – is the only path to more love\, belonging\, creativity and joy. But living a brave life is not always easy: We are inevitably going to stumble and fall. \nThe Rising Strong™ process is about what it takes to get back up and how owning our stories of struggle gives us the power to write a daring new ending. \n \nRising Strong™ Workshop \nWe all go through struggle – asking somebody out that does not want us\, expressing our feelings and not being understood\, saying something at work that didn’t land very well; the list is endless – failing feels painful and can trigger shame\, disappointment and a whole range of emotions and thoughts.  \nSometimes we avoid pursuing our heart desires because we fear failing. And sometimes when we do\, we don’t get back up and we give up. But if we want to break away from the crowd and live wholehearted lives\, we have to be courageous and different; doing this inevitable means we will sometimes fall. \nThis workshop is all about learning to get back up and how to become a highly resilient individual. How do we bounce back from failure? How do you recover from being exposed?   \n  \nBy taking part in the Rising Strong™ Workshop you will learn how to apply the Rising Strong™ process to your day-to-day life and become empowered to write wholehearted new endings to your stories. You will also: \n\nBecome familiar with the physics of vulnerability and the ten rules of engagement for rising strong. \nIdentify the values that are most important in your life and learn why values clarification is essential to the development of resiliency. \nBecome familiar with the Rising Strong process and goals – rise from our falls\, overcome our mistakes\, and face hurt in a way that brings more wisdom and wholeheartedness to our lives. \nRaise your awareness about: the feelings associated with emotions\, your response to emotion\, and how emotion\, thought\, and behavior are interconnected. \nPractice and build skills to engage with and experience emotion\, including mindfulness and breathing. \nDeepen your emotional vocabulary and self-awareness \nComprehend that as humans\, we have meaning-making in our biology and are compelled to make up stories – even if they are based on incomplete information. \nReclaim and integrate orphaned parts of yourself and celebrate that wholeness through creative expression. \n\n  \nThe Rising Strong™ workshop is an interactive mix of – \n\nPsycho experiential and educational exploration\nViewings of videos from Brené\, created specifically for Rising Strong™\nStorytelling\nGroup discussions\nCreative exercises\nCoaching\nSelf reflection and inquiry\n\n Included in the registration fee – \n\nYour personal Rising Strong™ workbook\nLight refreshments during the weekend\nPost workshop activity\nOne 50 min virtual coaching session with one of the facilitators (to take place within 3 months of completion of the workshop)\n\nPlease note that attending this workshop does not lead to certification as a ‘The Daring Way™ Facilitator’. \n \nDate: Saturday 2 September (10am – 5.45pm) and Sunday 3 September (10am – 5.30pm) \nFacilitators: Ade Adeniji and Darren Brady – Certified Daring Way™ Facilitators. \nwww.daringeurope.com \n \nABOUT BRENÉ BROWN \nDr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston\, where she holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work. She also holds the position of visiting professor in management at the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business.  \nBrené has spent the past two decades studying courage\, vulnerability\, shame\, and empathy. She is the author of six #1 New York Times bestsellers and is the host of two award-winning podcasts\, Unlocking Us and Dare to Lead. \nBrené’s books have been translated into more than 30 languages\, and her titles include Atlas of the Heart\, Dare to Lead\, Braving the Wilderness\, Rising Strong\, Daring Greatly\, and The Gifts of Imperfection. With Tarana Burke\, she co-edited the bestselling anthology You Are Your Best Thing: Vulnerability\, Shame Resilience\, and the Black Experience. \nBrené’s TED talk on the Power of Vulnerability is one of the top five most-viewed TED talks in the world\, with over 60 million views. Brené is the first researcher to have a filmed lecture on Netflix\, and in March 2022\, she launched a new show on HBO Max that focuses on her latest book\, Atlas of the Heart.  \nBrené spends most of her time working in organizations around the world\, helping develop braver leaders and more courageous cultures.  \nShe lives in Houston\, Texas\, with her husband\, Steve.

SUMMARY:The Quest Programme for Gay\, Bi + Queer Men
DESCRIPTION:A powerful personal development program for gay\, bi +queer men.\n\n\n“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.” – James Baldwin \nThe Quest programme is an experiential journey designed to empower gay\, bi & queer men into a powerfully positive way of living –– free from the constraints of the past and unleashed to the possibility of the present.

The Quest’s work enables enriched relationships with a deeper understanding of personal interactions & motivations     ––  through self-acceptance & compassion\, and the social awareness to embrace new possibilities. \nBy attending this interactive & engaging weekend participants will: \n– Gain a deeper understanding of how their upbringing has impacted their emotional development. \n– Develop an increased awareness of their limiting beliefs\, behaviours & habits. \n– Actively begin a healing process. \n– Identify ways to improve their sense of self & relationships. \n– Establish next steps for themselves\, their relationships\, and the world we live in. \n– Experience support & intimacy from a group of gay\, bi and queer men. \n– Create a positive & supportive new network of men. \n– Gain a greater sense of living authentically as a gay\, bi or queer man in today’s world. \n \nThe programme itinerary is in three phases: \nPreparation: Attendees will receive six daily reflection emails prior to the face-to-face gathering. \nComing Together: Our group workshop sessions are held over a three-day weekend: Friday (10am – 4.45pm)\, Saturday (10am – 5.30pm) and Sunday (10am – 5.30pm). \nIntegration: Attendees take part in a seven-day email check-in starting on the Monday after our weekend together. There will then be three virtual sessions where attendees explore a range of topics to enable them embed insights from the weekend.  \nThe weekend experience will include discussions & sharing in pairs\, triads\, small and large groups. It will include storytelling\, psychological exploration & education\, book readings\, expressive writing\, coaching and self-reflection & inquiry. \nYou can find out more about the programme here. \n#gbqmen #gay #gaymen #personaldevelopment #workshop #programme

SUMMARY:The Quest Programme for Gay\, Bi + Queer Men
DESCRIPTION:A powerful personal development program for gay\, bi +queer men.\n\n\n“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.” – James Baldwin \nThe Quest programme is an experiential journey designed to empower gay\, bi & queer men into a powerfully positive way of living –– free from the constraints of the past and unleashed to the possibility of the present. Two professional group facilitators and certified coaches support participants to develop a sense of self to creatively engage in life. Attendees practise new behaviours and engender new beliefs that move them towards authentic living with a connection to others & confident self-expression. \n___________________________________ \nQuest founders Ade + Darren talk about The Quest Program \n____________________________________ \nThe Quest Programme goes to the heart of our challenge to fulfil our lives. \n“The trick for the gay man himself is to resolve the conflict between the inner life and the outer one and become the authentic\, gay person that lies buried beneath.” – Out of the Shadows: Reimagining Gay Men’s Lives by Walt Odets \nSince 2011\, The Quest has been empowering gay\, bi & queer men to rediscover their wholehearted selves and redefine their understanding of community –– within a safe & supportive environment alongside a diverse range of people. The Quest’s work enables enriched relationships with a deeper understanding of personal interactions & motivations –– through self-acceptance & compassion\, and the social awareness to embrace new possibilities. \nBy attending this interactive & engaging weekend participants will: \n\nGain a deeper understanding of how their upbringing has impacted their emotional development.\nDevelop an increased awareness of their limiting beliefs\, behaviours & habits.\nActively begin a healing process.\nIdentify ways to improve their sense of self & relationships.\nEstablish next steps for themselves\, their relationships\, and the world we live in.\nExperience support & intimacy from a group of gay\, bi and queer men.\nCreate a positive & supportive new network of men.\nGain a greater sense of living authentically as a gay\, bi or queer man in today’s world.\n\n \nThe programme itinerary is in three phases: \nPreparation: Attendees will receive six daily reflection emails prior to the face-to-face gathering. \nComing Together: Our group workshop sessions are held over a three-day weekend: Friday (10am – 4.45pm)\, Saturday (10am – 5.30pm) and Sunday (10am – 5.30pm). \nIntegration: Attendees take part in a seven-day email check-in starting on the Monday after our weekend together. There will then be three virtual sessions where attendees explore a range of topics to enable them embed insights from the weekend. \nThe weekend experience will include discussions & sharing in pairs\, triads\, small and large groups. It will include storytelling\, psychological exploration & education\, book readings\, expressive writing\, coaching and self-reflection & inquiry. \n You can find out more about the programme here. \n#gbqmen #gay #gaymen #personaldevelopment #workshop #programme
