# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Attitude of Gratitude: A One-Day Meditation Retreat for Seniors
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 28 Jan, 2026 at 10:00 am – Wed, 28 Jan, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In the quiet rhythm of breath and stillness, we rediscover what is already here: the simple gift of being alive, wrinkles, creaking joints, and all.

Drawing from the Buddha’s Mindfulness of Breathing meditation, this retreat invites participants to explore what Ralph calls the A.R.T. of Inner Peace — Arrival in the present moment, Relaxing in awareness of body, movement, and breath, and Thankfulness for this moment just as it is.

The focus for the day will be on the third quality — Thankfulness, or Gratitude — a gateway to a peaceful, calm heart that helps us meet life with wisdom and kindness rather than habitual reactivity, transforming everyday moments into sources of inspiration and joy.

Through guided meditation, reflection, and gentle mindful movement designed for seniors, participants will strengthen their ability to be present and to appreciate the beauty of life more fully, even amid the changes that come with aging.

This is a day to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with a community of curious, engaged seniors. Whether you are new to meditation or wish to deepen or renew your practice, this retreat offers a welcoming space to pause and open up to the quiet joy of gratitude. Ralph shares these ancient teachings in a warm, down-to-earth way, offering simple practices to weave mindfulness and gratitude into everyday life.

Continue the Journey
Begin with a day of reflection and gratitude in The Attitude of Gratitude retreat, then deepen your practice in the 7-Week A.R.T. of Inner Peace class. Over several weeks, Arrival, Resting, and Thankfulness unfold step by step through meditation, gentle mindful movement, and quiet reflection.

Together, these experiences offer seniors a welcoming space to cultivate calm, clarity, and gratitude and discover the subtle joys hidden in everyday life. There will be a discount for registering for both courses.
