Retired psychologist Dr. Michael Sullivan will be sharing the insights and inspiration of a leading Unitarian minister about our experience of gratitude. Rev. Dr. Galen Guengerich sees gratitude as a central source of meaning in life. In his book The Way of Gratitude, he offers it as a new spirituality for today, especially for the increasing numbers of people who identify as spiritual but not religious. Michael will discuss Galen’s seven hallmarks of gratitude and also the beauty of poetry in the practice of the First Light Meditations that Galen circulates daily.
