SUMMARY:2023 Fall Gathering

Vernon\, Illinois. \nClick here for brochure and registration form \nGratitude\n\nAdult/Intergenerational Program:\nGratitude Revealed\, from filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg\, provides a cinematic experience of how to live a more meaningful life full of gratitude through conversations with everyday people and thought leaders\, revealing gratitude is a proven pathway back from the disconnection we feel in our lives; disconnection from ourselves\, our planet\, and each other.
