That Broken Thing

We begin exploring the theme of Change with a recognition that growing in new ways means grieving a few things that no longer serve us.

The Courage to Face our Fears

This month, we’ve been exploring a lot of ways that we react to make our anxiety go away. We create conflict, we triangulate, we over-function. One of the most common things we do when we feel afraid, though, is just run away. Sometimes it’s a good idea to take a step back, but if we want to live into our life-affirming values more fully, we’ll probably have to face some things that make us anxious. When is distancing ourselves a healthy response, and when do we need to muster the courage to face our fears head on?

The Courage to Fail

Successful people often say they had to learn to fail well. Intellectually, we might realize that failure is a part of learning new things. And yet, we often avoid addressing issues in our lives or in the world around us because some part of us is afraid of failure. Maybe we even busy ourselves with all kinds of other things so we can’t possibly create space for learning new ways of being. How can our community empower us to fail better? And how can failure become a spiritual practice?
