**Join us for a Community Experiment in Gratitude**
Just a few days after Thanksgiving, when life usually snaps back into busyness, we’ll pause and enter a softer space. A space of reflection, connection, and intentional appreciation.

What actually makes a human being *happy*? Over decades of research, psychologists have searched for the answer, and one finding rises to the top again and again: Gratitude is one of the most powerful predictors of long-term happiness. Not money. Not achievements. Not circumstances.

**Gratitude.**

Studies show that even *one* meaningful gratitude practice (a letter, a reflection, a moment of appreciation) can create a measurable lift in happiness that lasts for weeks or months. People sleep better. They feel calmer. Their relationships deepen. They feel more alive.

Inspired by this research *and* by the well-known “Science of Happiness” gratitude experiment, we thought:

**Let's try our own gratitude experiment...together.**

During our time together, we’ll experience:

* **A guided gratitude meditation** to reconnect with what your heart quietly treasures
* **A simple practice** proven to elevate happiness and emotional well-being

You don’t need to prepare anything.
Just come with your presence, your breath, and your openness.

**Shared Intention**
Our shared intention is to generate a field of gratitude together — to lift one another, to soften our spirits, and to witness the happiness that naturally rises when appreciation is expressed.

**ABOUT TRIBE OF ONE LOVE**

**Mission of Tribe of One Love**
We are a community devoted to expanding our capacity to practice love for all—cherishing the sacredness of every human, nurturing meaningful connection, and living the wisdom of love in action. In doing so, we cultivate joy and awaken a higher consciousness that inspires more connected lives for ourselves, our families, and the world around us.

**Purpose of Weekly Discussions**
Transformation. Our weekly gatherings are spaces for authentic connection and shared growth, with transformation at the heart of why we come together. Every voice is valued, every story honored, and our diversity embraced. We come together not to debate or persuade, but to listen, reflect, and expand in love and curiosity. At the end of each discussion, we invite each participant to share a takeaway—what they’ve learned, how their views have shifted, or what they might do differently because of the conversation.

**Tribe of One Love Invitation & Community Guidelines**

* **We are rooted in love, curiosity, and growth.**
We’re here to reflect, share, and expand our awareness together—not to debate, persuade, or convert.
* **We are a nonpartisan, non-denominational space.**
People from all walks of life are welcome. Personal experiences may include politics or religion, but no ideology—political, religious, or otherwise—should be promoted or belittled.
* **We show up as both teachers and students.**
Please review any shared resources before the session. We look forward to hearing your reflections, reactions, and perspectives. While we explore different perspectives, you are encouraged to take in what speaks to you and release what doesn’t.
* **Speak from personal experience.**
Use “I” language. Share what’s true for you without trying to fix, assume, advise, or preach—unless invited. Avoid stating opinions as facts. When you frame your truth as *your* experience, it leaves room for others to share theirs.
* **Avoid assumptions.**
Don’t assume others share your background, values, or beliefs. Our diversity is a strength. Speaking as if we all think alike can make others feel excluded or unsafe.
* **You are welcome to bring your real experiences—with purpose.**
If you’ve ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or worn down by life and the state of the world, you are not alone. Bring what’s real in the spirit of healing and learning. We name pain, not to vent or complain without direction, but to seek clarity, understanding, and transformation.
* **Practice equity of voice.**
Be mindful of how much space you’re holding. If you speak often, consider stepping back. If you’re usually quiet, know your voice matters—we’d love to hear from you.
* **Welcome disagreements as part of growth.**
When conflict arises, pause. Acknowledge what others are sharing, and respond with curiosity, not certainty. Aim for connection, not correction.
* **Let this space ripple outward.**
What’s learned here, we hope transforms not only ourselves, but our families, communities, and beyond. This space is sacred—not because it is perfect, but because we hold it together.
