Cultivating a grateful heart reconnects us to our
wondrous, alive Universe and is an antidote to
the fragmented, stressful lives we lead. A grateful
heart can help spiritual directors overcome
compassion fatigue stemming from being a
witness to suffering. Learn experiential ways to
ground yourself in gratitude through movement,
art, poetry, connecting with nature, creative
dialogue, and cocreated ritual.
