How the science of thankfulness can rewire our brains for resilience, optimism and the greater good
Who:
Anyone seeking to replenish and revitalize themselves through learning about the active practices of Gratitude. Held in celebration of National Gratitude Month in our sacred Nature space of Patch of Heaven Sanctuary.
Why:
Gratitude can have a transformative impact on individuals, families, neighborhoods, schools and workplaces. Studies have consistently found that people who practice gratitude experience:
Fewer symptoms of illness, including depression
Increased optimism
More happiness
What:
1/2 day of soothing self-care in our 20 acres of lotus ponds, old-growth Florida forest and sacred spaces. Patch provides artisanal bread, olive oil, olives, hummus and fruit.
