A Journey Toward Wholehearted Living
What if, instead of striving to be “perfect,” you gave yourself permission to be real?
Inspired by Brené Brown’s beloved book The Gifts of Imperfection and following the Circle of Trust® principles and practices, this online course study is an invitation to set aside the masks and the pressure of “having it all together,” and instead explore the freedom, courage, and connection that come from living wholeheartedly.
Over the course of several weeks, we’ll gather together on Zoom for live, interactive sessions where you’ll have the chance to reflect, share, and practice Brené’s 10 guideposts for wholehearted living. Each week, you’ll be gently guided through conversations and exercises that help you:
-
Release the grip of perfectionism and comparison.
-
Cultivate practices of self-compassion, rest, play, and creativity.
-
Strengthen your courage to show up authentically—in all areas of life.
-
Build meaningful connections in a safe, supportive community.
This course study is not about working harder on yourself. It’s about softening, pausing, and making space to grow into who you already are. Each session includes guided practices, reflection prompts, and optional between-session exercises to help you integrate what you’re learning into your daily rhythm.
Course Format:
-
Weekly 90-minute live Zoom sessions (recordings available if you miss a week)
-
Supportive community discussions and reflections
-
Gentle at-home practices to deepen your experience
Come as you are. Bring your questions, your hopes, and even your doubts. This is a course study where imperfection is not just welcome—it’s the gift we’ll explore together.
