About this Event
What if gratitude didn’t have to start with feeling grateful for everything?
Some days gratitude comes easily. Other days, life is complicated, busy or overwhelming - and being told to “just be grateful” isn’t particularly helpful.
Gratitude can be much simpler than that.
Sometimes it begins by slowing down long enough to notice what already feels good.
Join us for GRATITUDE ROCKS! This is a relaxed afternoon of creativity, colour and connection as we create beautiful painted rocks inspired by gratitude.
And no - you don't need to be artistic!
You will be guided through the process, have plenty of inspiration to work from and create a Gratitude Rock that is uniquely yours.
Along the way, we will explore gratitude through the four practices I've been sharing in my Nervous System Reset work:
RECOGNIZE • REGULATE • REFLECT • RESET
We will slow down, get absorbed in the creative process and reflect on some of the people, experiences and ordinary moments that bring pleasure, meaning and joy into our lives.
You will leave with your own Gratitude Rock to place somewhere you will see it - not as a reminder that you should be grateful, but as a little invitation to:
Pause. Notice. Appreciate.
Because sometimes gratitude isn't about finding something extraordinary.
It's about becoming better at noticing what's already here.
