Board Retreat Clarifies Priorities

All of A Network for Grateful Living’s Board and Staff met for two days in Mill Valley, CA in late July of this year to clarify the organization’s programmatic efforts over this next year. It was agreed that we would focus on developing curriculum for The Fundamentals of Grateful Living which will be adapted to Online E-Courses, Online Self-Practice Groups, and Community-based Grateful Living Practice Groups. Offerings would include:

• • Grateful Living Practices
  • Practice Challenges (website and offline)
  • Grateful Living Pledge/Charter
  • Reading Lists and Resources
  • Discussion Guides

The Fundamentals of Grateful Living Curriculum will be developed into both a Workbook and a Guidebook, pending approval at our Annual Board Meeting in September, 2015. We look forward to sharing our offerings with you, and including you in these exciting initiatives in 2016!
