Grateful Living: Developing A Grateful Journaling Practice

A Workshop At The Garden City Public Library

This will be the second time I have facilitated this workshop with the support of our friends at the Garden City Public Library (not a quiet library). I choose topics - Grateful Living, Presence, The Practice of Humility - that I want to learn more about personally and professionally, that are related to living profoundly, and that might be especially useful to folks these days. So we will see how this goes. Please share with anyone you think might be interested.
-------------------------------
The workshop is at the Garden City Public Library here in Idaho and lasts an hour and a half. It is free and open to the public. Please come and/or invite others who might benefit.

This is often quiet work. The work that rarely makes headlines.

Earth Day is this week. As we consider the state of our world - and the ecology of both our material and spiritual environment - it makes sense to ask what our role is, has been, and is supposed to be in relationship to "our common home" (Pope Francis).
