Gratitude has been shown to be the most effective way to rewire our brain to be more positive. And, did you know there are many ways of doing gratitude – and some are more effective than others! At its optimum, gratitude connects us to others, changes our heart rhythm and reduces stress, improves immune function, we sleep longer and deeper, we feel more joyful, more compassionate, more generous, more productive at work, it enhances self esteem, resilience and we generally feel more alive.
This training is ideal for counsellors, coaches and those supporting others who want to know the latest research to equip their clients with.
Dr Suzanne Henwood (along with her colleague Sarah Carruthers) spent 18 months researching gratitude, and wrote their book ‘The Ultimate Gratitude Practice’ which was published in 2023.
This practical, interactive workshop will share with you: the key components of an effective, embodied, gratitude practice; how to use your multiple intelligences to amplify the results; and how to weave in the power of stories to take the outcome to a whole new level.
If you have heard about “doing” gratitude, or maybe you have even done a simple practice like thinking of three things every day you are grateful for, and you would like to know how to take your gratituding practices to the next level to see amazing results – then come and join us, for a day you will not forget.
When: 17 October 2025, 9am – 12.30pm
Where: Online via Zoom
Cost: $220.00 inc GST. The price stated is per person.
