SUMMARY:Rising Strong™ Workshop for Gay\, Bi + Queer men (London - July 2022)
DESCRIPTION:Rising Strong™ Workshop for Gay\, Bi & Queer Men\n“The truth is that falling hurts. The dare is to keep being brave and feel your way back\n\n\nJoin us in July 2022 for Rising Strong™ Workshop for Gay\, Bi + Queer Men \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. \nFor over 10 years Ade and Darren have been delivering specially designed programs to the gay community and they are excited to bring this popular Brené Brown program to gay\, bi + queer participants. \nThis program has been generously supported by the Social Enterprise Support Fund from The National Lottery. Registration places are subsidised by this grant making it more affordable for the diverse range of participants we attract. \nTo secure your place please book early. \n3 minute video of Ade and Darren talking about Rising Strong \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?   \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\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\nIncluded in the registration fee – \n\nYour personal Rising Strong™ workbook\nLight refreshments during the weekend\nPost workshop activity\nOptional coaching session with Darren Brady (to take place within 3 months of completion of the workshop)\n\n. \nDate: Saturday 2nd July (10am – 6pm) and Sunday 3rd July 2020 (10am – 5.30pm) \nFacilitators: Ade Adeniji and Darren Brady – Certified Daring Way™ Facilitators. \nwww.daringeurope.com \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. Brené is also a visiting professor in management at the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business. \nShe has spent the past two decades studying courage\, vulnerability\, shame\, and empathy; is the author of six #1 New York Times best sellers; and is the host of the weekly Spotify original 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.

SUMMARY:Remarkable Men - Soulful Sunday Sessions
DESCRIPTION:SHAKEN AUTHENTICITY \nWhat you do you do when events outside your control question or shake your authenticity? Do you revert to old familiar (perhaps outdated) ways of being\, or set an intention to feel discomfort and set out to find new ways of being? Do you hide parts of you away or stand courageously even when there are no guarantees that others will stand with you? \nThis gathering will be a topical conversation about authenticity\, the effect of the pandemic and other world and domestic events\, isolation\, connection / disconnection\, health and long term changes both in our selves and in our lives. \nHow did we cope\, how are we coping now\, what has changed and is this for the better or is it more challenging? \nHas it brought you more in touch with your own authenticity or moved you further away from it? Has it made you braver or more fearful? Has it clarified or confused? \nAs gay / bi men has it affected us in particular ways? \nWhen we hold on to blame\, shame\, resentments\, or hustle for our worth through sacrificing our truest nature we move away from our authenticity. By understanding our stories we get to choose if we want to keep them or change them. \nRemarkable men has been through some changes over the last 3 years. \nIt is time now for another change\, a move back to in person meetings\, once a month. \nRemarkable Men is a facilitated space where a rich\, diverse range of Gay men meet to explore a topic that impacts our lives. \nDo you want to start Sundays feeling revived + invigorated?\nDo you crave a more interesting type of conversation?\nDo you want to connect in an open and non judgemental environment?\nDo you want to deepen your understanding of yourself? \nThe group was started by Darren Brady and is now run by Jonathan Ward who is a Courage Coach and certified to deliver the programs of Dr Brené Brown. He will guide the group in some fascinating conversations. \nNow in its 6th amazing year\, this Sunday ‘drop in’ group lifts the spirit\, emboldens and helps connect Gay men. \nWho is it for: Anyone who is curious\, open and committed to their self development is welcome to try out this group. \nWhat to bring: Curiosity\, life experience\, openness\, honesty and warmth! \nImportant to know:\nPayment on the day in cash please\n£15 waged\n£10 unwaged/retired/concessions
