Water in the Desert: a gratitude practice group

About the Event

Join us for ‘Water in the Desert,’ a 10-week journey delving into the intricate connection between ‘desert’ experiences and gratitude. Together we will explore Ross Gay’s uplifting collection, Catalogue of Unabashed Gratitude, and dedicate time in each session to nurture our personal gratitude practices. Don’t be intimidated by poetry—Ross Gay’s work is accessible and brimming with joy. No prior poetry or gratitude practice experience is required.

Books

If you do not have a copy of a book you need for a group or class, please check with the convener. Some groups purchase books in bulk for participants and simply ask you to reimburse the church. Or, you can purchase one from an online bookseller or consider supporting a local business like Shelf Life Books (in Carytown–formerly called Chop Suey Books), Book People, Fountain Books, or your favorite bookshop. Many local businesses are offering phone and/or online ordering, curbside pick-up and even home delivery while their storefronts are closed. If you prefer shopping online, Bookshop.org, sources books from independent booksellers. Of course, check with your local library, as well. You may also be able to find an e-book through an app such as Libby.
