What's a Living Courageously Weekend Retreat anyway, Jess?
I don't get it.
The Daring Way™ is a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. The method was designed for work with individuals, couples, families, work teams and organizational leaders. During this amazing weekend, we explore topics such as vulnerability, courage, shame and worthiness. We examine the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that are holding us back and we identify the new choices and practices that will move us toward more authentic and wholehearted living. The primary focus is on developing shame resilience skills and developing daily practices that transform the way we live, love, parent and lead.
We've brought this amazing weekend to a retreat-style setting in order to more fully immerse participants in the work. We find that leaving your normal environment and allowing yourself to connect fully with nature, peace, and each other serves to enhance our Daring Way™ work.
In this retreat, we cover both the Daring Way™ & Rising Strong™ curriculums.
Please Note: This weekend intensive DOES NOT train you to run the Daring Way™ yourself. If you are interested in becoming certified, click this link.

What People Are Saying About Rising Strong (The Daring Way™) Book Clubs (these are unsolicited!)
I just completed a 4 week "Gifts of Imperfection" book club. I can not put to words how amazing it was to have this experience. Jessica does a fantastic job of guiding you through this book. The women that I met were so kind and compassionate. I have never had an experience like this before. I feel like I am finally on the right road in my journey for self acceptance, compassion and love. I can't wait to do the intensive weekend with her. I HIGHLY recommend this book club!
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Gifts of Imperfection Book Club. I joined with excitement (and honestly a tiny bit of trepidation) and I couldn’t recommend it more! Jessica truly embodies what it means to be authentic and live wholeheartedly. She thoughtfully creates an open, honest, and empowering environment. My fellow book club members were wonderful and gave me insights that I wouldn’t have thought of had I read the book alone. I am so grateful for the experience and hope to repeat it again soon. If you have the chance to be in one of Jessica’s groups, take it! You'll be glad you did!
The Gifts of Imperfection book club was a highlight of my week and I just wish it went on longer! Jessica created an environment where all the women could be open and honest with each other and we quickly felt like a group of kindred spirits. Jessica led the group with humor, much compassion and a great amount of knowledge about Brene’ Brown’s work as well as self-care in general. Through Jessica’s guidance, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of the book and took away many skills which I use every day.
