What will be covered in this session?

This discussion will illustrate the neuroscience that underpins gratitude and the practical application of how to use it. We will experience gratitude by mindfully exploring where gratitude resides in the mind and body.

This session will have a guided meditation, short talk and time for discussion and question and answers.
