The Gifts of Imperfection: Online Study Group
Tickets
Oct 6 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Shame, Vulnerability, and Authenticity. Join us for this 8-week study on the wisdom and work of Brené Brown including a 6-week book study on The Gifts of Imperfection and group viewing of her landmark TED Talk and Brené Brown: Call To Courage.
We will journey through her profound work together through discussion, journaling, and exploring her faith through short video’s from The Work of the People. For our study we will use the upcoming 10th anniversary edition of The Gifts of Imperfection released September 8th, 2020. Suggested donation $25 or donate $40 by September 18th and receive a hardcover copy of the text (delivered to your doorstep if you live in Lincoln). No reading for the first meeting and we will read approximately 30 pages a week. Last meeting will be 2hrs as we watch Brené Brown: Call to Courage. See book summary below.
Registration closed email us for more information.
In hardcover for the first time, this tenth-anniversary edition of the game-changing #1 New York Times bestseller features a new foreword and brand-new tools to make the work your own.
For over a decade, Brené Brown has found a special place in our hearts as a gifted mapmaker and a fellow traveler. She is both a social scientist and a kitchen-table friend whom you can always count on to tell the truth, make you laugh, and, on occasion, cry with you. And what’s now become a movement all started with The Gifts of Imperfection, which has sold more than two million copies in thirty-five different languages across the globe.
What transforms this book from words on a page to effective daily practices are the ten guideposts to wholehearted living. The guideposts not only help us understand the practices that will allow us to change our lives and families, they also walk us through the unattainable and sabotaging expectations that get in the way.
Brené writes, “This book is an invitation to join a wholehearted revolution. A small, quiet, grassroots movement that starts with each of us saying, ‘My story matters because I matter.’ Revolution might sound a little dramatic, but in this world, choosing authenticity and worthiness is an absolute act of resistance.”

Contemplative Movement
Tickets
Oct 9 @ 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm

Contemplative Movement engages our physical selves in spiritual practice to promote wholeness, balancing activity with stillness. 

The practice is accessible by all body types and experience levels. Chairs, mats, cushions, straps, blocks, eye and bolster pillows are used. Each practice may contain elements of body awareness, dance, yoga, prayer walks, breath work, biospiritual focusing, prostration, and silent meditation. 

When cultivated through regular practice, Contemplative Movement is a holistic body-mind training to ease us into meditation and contemplation. It also helps us to engage our whole selves in our spiritual life. 

The practice may draw on the yogic tradition to prepare the body, mind, and spirit for meditation. Our hour long practice will conclude with 20-30 minutes of silent meditation. 

Suggested donation of $5. 

Check with your health care provider before beginning a new practice to ensure you are healthy enough for mild exercise.

The guideposts not only help us understand the practices that will allow us to change our lives and families, they also walk us through the unattainable and sabotaging expectations that get in the way.
Brené writes, “This book is an invitation to join a wholehearted revolution. A small, quiet, grassroots movement that starts with each of us saying, ‘My story matters because I matter.’ Revolution might sound a little dramatic, but in this world, choosing authenticity and worthiness is an absolute act of resistance.”

In hardcover for the first time, this tenth-anniversary edition of the game-changing #1 New York Times bestseller features a new foreword and brand-new tools to make the work your own.
For over a decade, Brené Brown has found a special place in our hearts as a gifted mapmaker and a fellow traveler. She is both a social scientist and a kitchen-table friend whom you can always count on to tell the truth, make you laugh, and, on occasion, cry with you. And what’s now become a movement all started with The Gifts of Imperfection, which has sold more than two million copies in thirty-five different languages across the globe.
What transforms this book from words on a page to effective daily practices are the ten guideposts to wholehearted living. The guideposts not only help us understand the practices that will allow us to change our lives and families, they also walk us through the unattainable and sabotaging expectations that get in the way.

Contemplative Movement
Tickets
Oct 30 @ 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm

Contemplative Movement engages our physical selves in spiritual practice to promote wholeness, balancing activity with stillness. 

The practice is accessible by all body types and experience levels. Chairs, mats, cushions, straps, blocks, eye and bolster pillows are used. Each practice may contain elements of body awareness, dance, yoga, prayer walks, breath work, biospiritual focusing, prostration, and silent meditation. 

When cultivated through regular practice, Contemplative Movement is a holistic body-mind training to ease us into meditation and contemplation. It also helps us to engage our whole selves in our spiritual life. 

The practice may draw on the yogic tradition to prepare the body, mind, and spirit for meditation. Our hour long practice will conclude with 20-30 minutes of silent meditation. 

Suggested donation of $5. 

Check with your health care provider before beginning a new practice to ensure you are healthy enough for mild exercise.

In the Celtic Christian Tradition Halloween, also known as All Hallows Eve, celebrates summer’s end, the transition to shorter days, and the harvest. It is also a time of honoring and remembering our ancestors and saints that came before us. A time in the Celtic tradition where the veil between this world and the spirit world is very thin. Join us for this liturgy and meditation celebrating and honoring this transition. This day precedes All Saints Day and All Souls Day observed in churches and communities across the world.
