ABOUT THE SESSION.
Joyce Treasure invited us to a creative gratitude workshop and of sharing things and memories that bring us joy!
Each of us brought to the session an image, a song, a poem, a reading: something that captured the essence of a memory that brings joy and happiness.
Collective sharing gave us the opportunity to contemplate joyful times in our lives amid a time of uncertainty.
