LITERATURE + LECTURES

The Jung Center of Houston presents The Spirituality of Vulnerability.  Learn how our capacity for deepening experience depends on embracing imperfection. in this lecture by Brené Brown (pictured). Tuesday, November 16, 7:30 - 9 pm.

How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities and imperfections so that we can engage our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? Vulnerability is the source of our most profound feelings and experiences. It's at the core of shame, fear, and our struggle for worthiness, but it is also the birthplace of authenticity, courage, joy, love, belonging, inspiration, and creativity.

When we understand how and why we feel vulnerable, we gain clarity about what is truly important. When we have the language and courage to embrace the vulnerability of both our greatest struggles and our most joyful moments, we create deeper purpose and meaning in our lives. We gain the capacity to change the way we live, love, parent, teach, lead organizations, and build communities.

Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW, is a research professor and writer at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. She has spent the past ten years studying vulnerability, courage, and authenticity.
