The Many Faces of Gratitude
A Day-Long Retreat
Service Description
Fall is a season of harvest and plenty for many around the world. As the year begins to draw to a close and the light grows softer, we naturally turn inward, gathering together for warmth of heart and hearth. It is often during this time that we find ourselves reflecting on gratitude. We often think of gratitude as being thankful for the good things in our lives—the moments of joy, abundance, connection, and ease. But what about the things that have challenged us? Can gratitude make room for difficulty, loss, uncertainty, or change? Can there be something worth receiving even from the experiences we would never have chosen? At the Many Faces of Gratitude Day-Long Retreat, co-teachers Michael Ward and Veda Spidle invite you to explore the many ways gratitude can show up in our lives. Through mindful practices, brief reflections and teachings, gentle movement, and immersive sound bath experiences, we will explore gratitude not simply as an emotion, but as a practice and a way of relating to our lives. Together, we will make space for the familiar faces of gratitude, as well as some of the less comfortable ones. This is an opportunity to slow down, reflect, connect, and perhaps discover that gratitude can hold more than we once imagined. As with the other retreats offered by Kinetic Roots Wellness, this curated small-group experience will be held at the beautiful Deer Thicket Sanctuary, an 84-acre protected property in Stokesdale, North Carolina. Surrounded by forest and open space, the sanctuary offers a quiet place to step away from the pace of everyday life and reconnect with yourself and the season. This retreat is supported by a spirit of giving. If you are in a place to give a little more, please consider choosing a Supporter Seat, which helps offset the cost of our two scholarship seats. If financial assistance would make it possible for you to attend, please reach out to us by email. We want this experience to be accessible to those who feel called to join us.
