SUMMARY:Create & Appreciate: DIY Gratitude Journals
DESCRIPTION:March 19th 6:00-7:30 \nCreate & Appreciate: DIY Gratitude Journals \n$20.00 \nWe often hear that gratitude is “good for us\,” but how do we actually make it a habit? This unique\, two-part workshop is designed to nourish both the mind and the maker\, proving that a thankful heart is a healthier one. \nWe begin with a guided reflection on the physical\, mental\, and emotional benefits of gratitude. Research shows that a consistent practice can improve sleep\, lower stress\, and boost immune function. We’ll discuss practical ways to weave these benefits into your daily life so that gratitude becomes a tool for your overall well-being. \nAfter grounding ourselves in intention\, we’ll move into the “creative lab.” You will customize your own personal gratitude journal using a variety of decoupage and mixed media techniques. You’ll learn how to layer textures\, colors\, and imagery to create a unique piece of art that serves as a beautiful\, physical home for your daily reflections. \nNo need to run to the craft store! We provide a curated selection of premium materials to ensure your journal is as unique as your journey. Guests will leave with a custom-made journal\, a kit of practical wellness “hacks\,” and a fresh perspective on living intentionally \nCONTEMPLATIVE  \nClasses at Thrifty Connections intended for adults and suitable for individuals 16+. \nTicket Policy \nAll ticket sales are final. Because our classes require advance planning\, preparation time\, and the gathering of materials and supplies\, we’re unable to offer refunds.
