Awakening to Gratefulness

$0.00

An on-demand eCourse with Br. David Steindl-Rast

“What is gratitude?”, “How do we do gratefulness?”, and “Why?” — Using poetry, stories and clear descriptions, Br. David Steindl-Rast, takes us on a deep and joyous dive into the practice of grateful living. These inspired teachings were recorded on video in 2011 when Br. David offered a series of talks to a group of 85 people who traveled with him on a boat through Alaska’s Inside Passage. Each of the 8 sessions includes a video (or two!) along with questions for contemplation and journaling.

Description

  • What is gratitude?
  • How do we do gratefulness?
  • Why is gratefulness important?
  • What if we are given a circumstance that we find unbearable and for which we feel we cannot be grateful?

We invite you to join us in exploring these questions, and many more, through listening to reflections, poems, and stories shared by Benedictine monk, Br. David Steindl-Rast.
