The Rising Strong Group
Facilitated by Director Judy Pearson of Pearl Crisis Center Rising Strong by Brene Brown, The physics of vulnerability is simple: If we are brave enough, often enough, we will fall. Rising Strong is a book about what it takes to get back up and how owning our own stories of struggle gives us the power to write a daring way ending. Struggle can be our greatest call to courage and and the clearest path to wholehearted life. -Brene Brown Classes starting January 2016 Course length : 8 weeks Session 1: Introduction Session 2: Clarity of Values Session 3: Act I - The Reckoning Session 4: Offloading Hurt Session 5: Strategies for Reckoning with Emotion Session 6: Act II-Rumble Session 7: Common Rumbling Themes Session 8: Rumbling with Vulnerability Session 9: Rumbling with Shame Session 10: Rumbling with Living BIG Session 11: Rumbling with Trust and BRAVING Session 12: Rumbling with Grief and Forgiveness Session 13: Rumbling with Anxiety Session 14: Rumbling with Criticism Session 15: The Delta Session 16: Act III- The Revolution Session 17: Integrating and Creativity Contact Pearl Crisis Center office to sign up |
The Man in The Arena
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
