On-Demand Course
Grateful Hope: Passion for the Possible
A self-guided course exploring hope as a radical stance in a world both beautiful and broken.
Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act.
Rebecca Solnit
Make the challenges of daily life more manageable
Whether you’re coping with grief, aging, struggling to help a child find their way, adapting to a transition, or overwhelmed by wars and politics, grateful hope can change your perspective in surprising ways.
In a world where fear permeates daily life, grateful hope is a radical stance that empowers you to move beyond limitations and open to what is possible in the absence of despair. It is not the way out of life’s uncertainty. It is the way through.
Embrace uncertainty without toxic positivity
This attitude of the heart is not optimism or toxic positivity. It’s an invitation to embrace uncertainty, welcome change, and find your purpose in a life full of challenges and possibilities.
Join us and learn from world-renowned experts — spiritual leaders, authors, a musician, and a peace builder – whose work, life, and wisdom will show us the way…
