Do you embrace your vulnerabilities and imperfections? Do you engage in life from a place of authenticity and worthiness? Are you willing to let go of who you think you should be in order to be who you are? What would happen if every morning you woke up with one intention and one intention only... to speak from your heart? In this workshop you will learn how to cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that you deserve and to recognize that you are worthy of love, belonging... and joy! 

Shame (unworthiness, feeling not good enough, who do you think you are) is a universal experience and impacts many areas of our lives. When Dr. Brené Brown asked women to define shame, she heard answers such as:

• When people can see you failing.
• When your mask is pulled off and you are exposed – you’re caught.
• Feeling like an outsider – not belonging.
• When your flaws are revealed.

In this experiential one-day workshop, we will explore the effects of shame on your life by delving deeply into Dr. Brown’s profound and transformative work. We'll also be drawing on the work of Kristen Neff, Byron Katie, Jean Kilbourne, and others.

Learn how to become shame resilient. Recognize and transform feelings of unworthiness. Engender deeper authenticity and connection, and take home practical skills you can use in any area of your life to live, as Dr. Brown says, "WholeHeartedly!"

Brené Brown, Ph.D., L.M.S.W., is a research professor at the University of Houston, Graduate College of Social Work.View her TED Talk on “The power of vulnerability” here: http://bit.ly/fgr5V7

Join Peggy Petersen and Brooklin Kayce as we bring awareness to how shame has affected and influenced all of our lives in the past and how we can use that knowledge to shift our future. Through our own experience, Dr. Brown’s wisdom has inspired and given us profound insights into our personal lives. Now we are excited to share that value with YOU.

What women are saying about our workshops:

“This has been a heart-opening and invaluable workshop. My soul feels more open and alive than ever before. Every human being would benefit enormously from this experience.” DB, Nelson, BC, Canada

“Even after spending 3.5 years in grad school studying clinical psychology, MANY workshops, three excellent therapists, I had a lot to learn and take in at this workshop. Most importantly, I realized that I don’t have to be perfect to offer my gifts to the world and I don’t have to stay in a state of feeling shame for being an imperfect human being.” BS, Seattle, WA

“I came to the workshop not knowing much about Brené Brown and her work. I immediately recognized my need for the material. I learned so much that will be really and truly valuable for the rest of my life... I highly recommend this workshop to anyone!" KR, Seattle, WA
