Round of Gratefulness
What is Round of Gratefulness about ?
The purpose of the Round of Gratefulness is to practise the attitude of gratefulness. This brings deeper peace, greater well-being and an enhanced capacity for joy and self-empowerment.
There are five guiding principles that can serve as touchstones to support the practice:
- Life is a gift
- Everything is a surprise
- The ordinary is extraordinary
- Appreciation is generative
- Love is transformative
The Round of Gratefulness can be very powerful in different situations, e.g. at the beginning of a workshop (as ice-breaker), in a retreat or in a coaching session. It is particularly useful at the beginning of any experience, whether that experience is an hour or a year long.
