Vulnerability is a somewhat misunderstood experience, and in Brene Brown's TED talk on the power of vulnerability, she is wonderful and humorous as she shares her deep insight on this powerful, important human emotion. This TED talk is the 4th most-watched TED talk in history, as of mid-December 2013, and well worth 20 minutes of your day.
The Red Tent Events in the Comox Valley are intentionally created and presented as a safe place to be vulnerable. We ask everyone for confidentiality around what is shared, for respectful listening, for speaking your truth from a place deep inside yourself. Since Brene Brown studies vulnerability, courage, authenticity and shame, I thought it was an ideal talk to share on this page.
The full list of the 20 most-watched TED talks up to this point includes a fabulous talk by Jill Bolte Taylor, on her stroke of insight, the 2nd most-watched TED talk. When a stroke damaged and silenced her right hemisphere, she was able to fully experience herself as the left hemisphere experiences her life ~ in the present moment, as an energy being connected to everything around her, perfect, whole, beautiful. She saw the world from a beautifully compassionate, deeply peaceful, loving perspective.
As we gather tonight in the Red Tent, and in the coming days with friends and family over the holidays, may we all remember our deep interconnection with each other, experience ourselves as compassionate, loving beings and welcome deep peace into our lives.
