The Transformative Power of Gratitude and Generosity
One-day Women's Retreat with MJ Ryan
June 10, 2006 ~ Sedona Creative Life Center

MJ Ryan writes, "Gratitude and generosity are like the in breath and the out breath. The more we become aware of all that we have, the more we naturally want to give back. It doesn't matter where you enter the circle—the more you experience one, the more the other enhances your life as well. As you practice, you experience more satisfaction, connection, and fulfillment in your everyday life."

Join MJ in exploring why the practice of gratitude and generosity are two of the most powerful actions we can take in our daily lives. According to new brain research, these two qualities of heart and mind can help overcome anxiety, worry, anger, and depression, and increase health, happiness, and peace of mind. They are a foundation for loving relationships, positive parenting, and even success at work. 

In this interactive workshop, through lecture, journaling, one on one, small group and whole group interactions, women will learn: 

~  

 What emotional, physical, and spiritual benefits come to us when we live from these ancient virtues;

~  

 What brain science teaches us about how to cultivate these heart qualities;

~  

 Simple practices to develop more generosity and thankfulness in any situation.
Audiences are struck by MJ's down-to-earth realness as she relates her story of how she went from a fundamentally stressed out negative person to someone who is rarely overwhelmed through the cultivation of kindness, patience, gratitude, self trust, generosity, and happiness. Her workshops are not just inspirational, but are full of advice and practices based on cutting edge brain research so that participants leave empowered as to how to create changes in their own lives.
