The Daring Way™
The Daring Way™ is an empirically-based methodology based on the research of Brene Brown. The work focuses on courage building, shame resilience, and uncovering the power of vulnerability. The methodology is designed for work with individuals, couples, families and groups. The Daring Way trainings and workshops are offered by Lennie Knowlton, CMHC who is a Certified Daring Way Facilitatior and the Rocky Mountain Region Leader for The Daring Way.
Trauma-Informed yoga
The latest trauma research proves that most of our reactions and emotions come from the body up, not the brain down. Trauma-informed yoga puts this research to use with classes that focus on working with emotions stored in the body, facilitating increased mind-body connection, regulation and self-compassion. These classes are provided by Project Connection therapists, as well as other professionals who have been trained through the Clinical Yoga Institute. Classes are offered for mental health professionals as well as current Project Connection clients.
Suggested donation for the class is $10. Use the link below to register. Email any questions to ealtman@projectconnection.co

Daring Greatly Workshop
Are you ready to make new friendships, reconnect with a wider circle of people, or feel more connected and fulfilled by the relationships in your life? Are you wanting to find the courage to reengage with the world after Covid but also show up more as yourself this time around?
If you're striving to reconnect bravely and wholeheartedly, this event is for you! Join Lennie Knowlton, CMHC, attachment therapist and certified Daring Way™ facilitator as she uses the Daring Way™ framework, a methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown, to explore our deep need for connection and the things that get in the way.
