Sat 2:30 to 3:30 PM To truly become a healing influence in this world, we each must be powerful in a balanced, spiritually mature and responsible way. Clearly our present culture is not full of role models to help us accomplish this. To a large extent, we need to come up with our own healthy way of being powerful. We can develop an "attitude of gratitude," a life-affirming process that not only brings greater awareness of the wonder and magic that can occur in the course of a day, but can help us reframe negative thinking-and events-and help us develop healthy and positive alternatives to scarcity consciousness and victim thinking. Also addresses ways of helping children develop traits of optimism and gratitude.
