He aimed to venture more deeply into solitude, discovering its full extent and depth.

As individuals experiencing the world, living a life overflowing with highs and lows and in times of stability and of turbulence, our sense of gratitude can often be overlooked. When it is intentionally cultivated, however, our sense of gratitude expands. Much like the practice of yoga strengthens awareness and focus across all moments of life, so, too, does the practice of gratitude. This fall in Community Conversations we will practice the art of intentional gratitude together. Join us as we embody what it means to appreciate.
