What we’re about
"We get what we think about...whether we want it or not." (Abraham Hicks)
In other words, our thoughts create our reality, and there is INCREDIBLE power in knowing that we are the source of our own joy, our own abundance, our own life experience.
This is a group for anyone interested in learning about the Law of Attraction, the Law of Deliberate Creation, the Law of Allowing (and a few others) AND in how to apply these concepts in effective and exciting ways that truly help you create whatever you are wanting in life....love, money, career, health, happiness...You are the creator. You decide what you are wanting, and together we'll help you manifest it.

June Theme: Loving the World
Summary from Network for Grateful Living:
The final principle of grateful living, as articulated by Kristi Nelson in Wake Up Grateful, centers the work of the heart: “Love is transformative. When you embrace the great fullness of life, your heart overflows.” The affirmation offers us a key for embracing the world when love feels insufficient, when we can’t help but ask, how does one love a world that seems bent against love? The incredulity of this question, however justified, reveals the belief that the only world one could possibly love is a different world…a better world…even a perfect world.In embracing the great fullness of life, we allow ourselves to be with the wholeness of what is – with all its brokenness. Even as we strive to eradicate unnecessary suffering, love asks that we presence ourselves with all of what is here now, including the pain, the anger, and the grief. The presencing is the work; the presencing is the love that is the transformation. This, perhaps, is a version of the love that precedes the action of “love in action.”
Just as truly loving ourselves and one another asks that we make ourselves vulnerable to imperfection, to difficulty, and to heartbreak, so too does the task of loving the world. When our hearts soften, how are we better able to show up for ourselves and each other? How might opening our hearts to the world embolden our care for it? What might happen if everything we do — if the seeds we plant, the communities we tend, the stands we take — were sourced from hearts that seek to love the fullness of what is here, now?
Questions for Reflection:
- When you experience a sense of love for the world, what does it feel like? How does that love take shape?
- What are some of the ways in which you might (already and/or in the future) express your love?
- How might opening your heart to the world embolden your care for it?
- What supports you to love the world, exactly as it is now? What perspectives and practices help you love wholeheartedly?
- What might you let go of in order to love more fully?
- What might happen if everything we do — if the seeds we plant, the communities we tend, the stands we take — were sourced from hearts that seek to love the fullness of what is here, now?
Grateful Gatherings is a group in which we share our love and passion for gratitude. If you know the power of gratitude – or you want to know it – and you want to talk about it, learn about it, and grow with other like-minded gratitude folks…then this is the place for you.
Gratitude changes everything, and so does the power of collective intention. Each month, the Grateful Gatherings around the world explore and expand around a common gratitude related theme provided by Grateful Living. Don’t you just love when our Inner Work makes the world a better place too?!
Join us monthly as we connect and grow in gratitude!
This event is free.
Facilitated by Karin Cross.
