“What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.”
– Brene Brown
While I typically think of journaling as an independent activity—a chance to connect with oneself on a deep level—this week I came to appreciate how it can connect us to others in a profound way. Thanks to the recommendation of my co-teacher Rachel Kerr, our Yogi-Wine-Journaling Workshop participants shared their prompt responses in small groups.
It was beautiful to see how vulnerable people were willing to be with strangers. By sharing fears, doubts and secret dreams, participants opened the doors to support and connection from one another. After class, many exchanged contact information, and some stayed and chatted with each other for as long as an hour. As scary as vulnerability can be, it helps connect us with others in a meaningful way.
With whom would you like to connect on a deeper level? How might you be more vulnerable with that person?
