Braving the Wilderness, by Brené Brown

Fall Foundry Study

Facilitator: Marsha Barnett Cooke

Location: Room 2003 in FLC

This course will follow Brené Brown's book, Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone. It explores how true belonging is not about fitting in, pretending, or making the people around us comfortable because that's safer. In her book, she speaks of four practices that challenge how we think about ourselves, showing with one another, and find our way back to courage and connection. We will explore and develop skills in believing in oneself so fully that we can be our authentic self in the world and still feel connected to a greater humanity.
