Brene Brown’s new book Strong Ground invites us to move beyond simply “not losing” and instead lean into strategies that help us truly thrive. How might these ideas shape the life and future of a religious community like Unitarian Universalism? Join Rev. Becky Leyser, community minister at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Livermore, as she guides us in exploring these insights and what they might mean for our shared spiritual journey.
