Awakening Gratitude
“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was ‘thank you’ that would suffice”
Meister Eckhart
Gratitude is a practice in itself. How would you like to explore being grateful? Practicing gratitude can be very positive for our lives. It has far-reaching effects, from improving our mental health to boosting our relationships with others.
In this retreat we practice how to be grateful for the life that we have right now – whatever is here.
We combine theory and meditation practice to cultivate gratitude in our daily lives.
During this retreat we will focus on:
- Recognising and waking up to the good things we have received
- Practicing saying ‘thank you’ to the gifts we have received from other people and the world around us and our interconnectedness and dependency we have with people and places in our lives.
- Being grateful for everything that is here, including the challenges in our lives, independent of our liking or disliking them.
