25 Years of Grateful Living
Give $25 for our 25th today!
Give gratefully today, so we can all live gratefully together!
Imagine a society in which mutual trust has the leverage that our present social order accords to fear. Imagine a society in which mutual caring has the leverage that our present social order accords to egotism. If we reach the critical mass of grateful people, a surprising reorientation can take place. Grateful living can build the kind of world that every human heart is longing for.
Br. David Steindl-Rast
The continuation of our work, the growth of Grateful Gatherings, and our educational programs like courses and Pathways, retreats, our online community, and Word for the Day, all depend on donors like you.
