Retreat House is thrilled to begin offering Grateful Gatherings, facilitated by Richard Mickelson. We will gather on Tuesday mornings, from 10:30 until Noon, in person at Retreat House. Sharing and discussion will take place in a sacred circle of community.
What are Grateful Gatherings?
Grateful Gatherings are an opportunity to join others as we explore the transformative possibilities of grateful living, and discover greater meaning, purpose, and joy in our lives. Informed by spiritual wisdom, scholarship, and scientific research, the Gatherings provide community connection, invigorating reflection and conversation, and practical tools for living a meaningful and flourishing life.
When Will They Take Place?
Grateful Gatherings will take place every month on the third Tuesday or the month, from 10:30 - noon, at Retreat House.
Why Grateful Gatherings?
Living gratefully helps you navigate the joys and difficulties that accompany life. This is not an exercise in avoiding the hard stuff you experience by pretending things are okay when they are not. Instead, living gratefully is being fully present to your life so that your perspective can be expanded, your compassion enhanced, and your purpose discovered in this moment. This is what makes every day more meaningful.
