Radical Gratitude | Getting Real
Mini Urban Retreat
This workshop is part of a year-long series of monthly workshops on Living Well. Select the ones you want, or sign up for them all. This is now a virtual workshop until it is safe to conduct in-person sessions
This workshop will be held online via Zoom
When we think of gratitude, we imagine we need to focus only on that which is going “well”. But in this mini retreat, you will learn how to appreciate in a “radical” way. This secret brings you to a place of sincere acceptance.
The only way to achieve authentic gratitude – graciousness with what has come to be – is through the emotions. Emotional honesty can be difficult to achieve alone – our feelings can be opaque to us.Â
Here, we will slow down and connect with our truth, we will look at the “garbage” in your life, as well as the gold. Using art therapy and experiential techniques, Claudia Palmira will guide you in activities designed to get you into the heart of your authenticity.
The workshop lasts 3 1/2 hours with one break.
What to expect in this workshop:
• guided meditation
• interactive group activities
• guided creative activities
• connection with other like-minded “seekers”
