Brenda Greiner (Director of the Shepard Academic Resource Center), along with Jacqueline Mosher and Joni Smith from L'Arche Portland, will help us explore an experience we avoid at all costs - failing - but which allows us to better know ourselves and become more human.

"I am struck by how sharing our weakness and difficulties is more nourishing to others than sharing our qualities and successes."
