SUMMARY:Letters of Gratitude Workshop - FREE
DESCRIPTION:“Gratitude is not a passive response to something we have bee
 n given\;\ngratitude arises from paying attention.”\n - David Whyte\n\n
 \nLetters of Gratitude FREE Workshop - \n\nFebruary 22\, 2026 3:00pm - 4
 :30 pm PACIFIC\n\nA 2024 analysis published in JAMA Psychiatry\, drawing o
 n data from the long-running Nurses’ Health Study\, found that participa
 nts with higher levels of gratitude had a significantly lower risk of mort
 ality over a four-year period (reported by Harvard Health). In addition\, 
 meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials show that gratitude practice
 s—such as gratitude letters and journaling—are associated with increas
 ed positive emotion and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression.\n\nA 
 free gathering—offered online via Zoom for anyone who would like to joi
 n created to provide intention\, structure\, and accountability for writin
 g one or more letters to those who have had a meaningful\, positive impact
  on your life.\n\nThis is an invitation to excavate and cultivate gratitud
 e—to slow down\, name what has shaped you\, and allow appreciation to be
  felt not just as an idea\, but as a lived experience.\n\nA letter may be 
 addressed to people who are living or those who have died. You may choose 
 to mail your letter\, keep it private\, or—if it feels right—read it a
 loud to the person it’s written for. Each option carries its own transfo
 rmative power.\n\nBeginning with a brief reflection to help settle the min
 d and clarify intention. The majority of our time will be devoted to writi
 ng in a shared\, supportive container. We’ll close the writing portion a
 t around 4pm and leave room for an optional opportunity to share a passage
  of what you’ve written—no pressure.\n\nNo writing experience is neces
 sary. Come exactly as you are\, with curiosity\, an open heart\, and a wil
 lingness to listen to what wants to be expressed.  Please join me in this
  uplifting activity.\n\nSend me an email and I will send you the link\, if
  you would like to join us @ lesliehowardyoga@gmail.com
