How Gratitude and Optimism Change the Game

Create an Inner Sanctuary

Life often feels like a game of chutes and ladders: one minute we are climbing and in the next, we are tumbling down a chute, landing in a place we did not wish for nor understand. In that tumble, we may feel exhausted, hopeless, uncertain, or simply ready for a life that feels rejuvenated. Universally, we tend to seek a few continuities: peace in our hearts, comfort in our skins, meaning in our days, love in our connections, and wisdom about what might sustain a sense of happiness.

Join international consultant, positive psychologist, and resilience expert Maria Sirois as she offers research-based practices and perspectives that ground us and enable a growing sense of stability and positivity.

In this program, you will:

  • Shift toward optimism through play, reflection, and small group conversation.
  • Explore mindfulness practices to re-center your consciousness.
  • Journal to discover a more wholistic narrative.
  • Activate the imagination to envision a better future.

You will leave with:

  • An increased sense of calm
  • Greater wisdom of the profound impact of gratitude  
  • A reduced sense of strain
  • An elevated and grounded optimism
  • Appreciation for the good already present
  • Tools to apply on a daily basis

Please join us for this heart-centered, supportive retreat.
