The Magic of Gratitude: A 5-Week Course

Discover how a simple daily practice can transform your life.

Based on The Magic by Rhonda Byrne, this 5-week journey starting July 7 explores the power of gratitude to shift your mindset and create more joy, prosperity, and peace.

Through real-life stories and easy-to-follow exercises, you’ll learn how to align with the “gratitude frequency” and begin to feel more connected, uplifted, and in sync with life.

In her book, The Magic, Rhonda Byrne demonstrates that gratitude is a powerful magnetic force. She describes people who have experienced physical recovery, emotional breakthroughs, and even financial windfalls by practicing gratitude consistently.

Through daily gratitude exercises, you, too, can transform your life from self-doubt and depression to joy, prosperity, and inner peace. You may start noticing good things you usually overlook. And then something weird starts to happen: you feel better, you start to smile more, and slowly your circumstances begin to shift. You start to feel in sync with the universe.

The book is required reading, and it would be helpful to have it with you at the first session. It may be purchased online from numerous vendors. The course will continue through Aug. 4. Drop-ins are welcome, but the full program will give you the most benefit.

The course is offered on a freewill donation basis ($20 per session most gratefully appreciated).
