General Admission

Feel better in this life you&#39;re living. Maybe you&#39;ve tried keeping a gratitude journal, only to abandon it a week later. Or maybe you&#39;ve been told to &quot;look on the bright side&quot; when things weren&#39;t feeling so bright. Gratitude isn&#39;t about pretending everything is wonderful. It&#39;s about appreciating what&#39;s here alongside the pain of what&#39;s missing. Gratitude and grief aren&#39;t opposites. We can let them be companions. In this interactive, 90-minute workshop, we&#39;ll sample a variety of Buddhist-inspired and research-backed gratitude practices. Through guided meditation, reflection, writing, and connection with others, you&#39;ll explore different ways to notice the good, appreciate the support around you, and experience richer contentment in this life you&#39;re living. Come curious. Leave with a practice that clicks for you. This is also a fundraiser.&nbsp;100% of ticket sales benefit The Lantern. You&#39;ll be investing in your own well-being while supporting others through some of life&#39;s hardest moments. Come solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary, and no forced positivity required.
