2023 GLOBAL THEME: Living Out Loud!
APRIL 2023 Theme: The Power of Vulnerability
This month is an exploration of the power of vulnerability. We will embark on this journey with the key step of defining and gaining clarity around just what vulnerability is and why it is important. We will explore what often gets in the way of being vulnerable and what steps we can take to navigate this path. Vulnerability is a key ingredient in our own personal transformation as it creates an expanded awareness of what lies just below the surface.
As we look at vulnerability through this lens, we will begin to see how vulnerability is a building block for a thriving and healthy community. We will end the month with a focus on how we can harness the power of vulnerability in living a life that is full of possibility….a life that is lived out loud.
April 2nd • Vulnerability: Defining and Aligning
Summary of Today’s Topic: Whenever we embark on a new adventure it is important to know where we are and where we are going. Today we begin the journey towards a greater understanding of the power of vulnerability by exploring what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s important. Vulnerability becomes the crucial starting point for authenticity and connection. To the extent that we begin to foster this in ourselves, we can begin to invite others to do the same.
April 9th • Vulnerability: Cracks and Canyons
Today we will explore what gets in the way of vulnerability. Fear, uncertainty, and comparison are just some of the many things that may arise when we set the intention of living life from a more vulnerable and authentic space. We will explore these areas as not something to push against, but instead opportunities to lean into and even befriend. It is through this understanding that each experience can be utilized as a guide on the path towards a greater awareness of ourselves and others.
April 16th • Vulnerability: Letting Go and Letting In
Today we will begin by discussing vulnerability on the individual level. We will explore how self reflection, allowing, and opening serve as integral parts to our own willingness to be vulnerable with ourselves and those around us. The more we can make friends with all the parts of us, the more we can begin to explore our ability to bring those aspects of ourselves to life in expansive ways. The more we are able to do this for ourselves, the greater our ability will be to create space for others to do the same.
April 23rd • Vulnerability: Seeing and Being Seen
Today we will explore how vulnerability is a building block for a thriving and healthy community. We will see that to the extent that we are able to nurture vulnerability in ourselves, we will see that out pictured in our communities and relationships. We will explore how authenticity, connection and belonging are possible when we are able to bring our whole self to life while creating safe and affirming spaces for others to do the same. It is in this that the power of vulnerability is actualized through lives lived out loud.
April 30th • Vulnerability: Power and Possibility
Today we will explore the power and possibility that vulnerability brings, not only for our own lives, but for our communities and the world. Vulnerability invites us into the powerful experience of living authentically and the collective possibility for transformation that happens as a result.
