Gratitude & Growth: A Positive Reframing Live Journaling Exercise

A lot has happened in your life this year. And because of our brain’s built-in negativity bias, the tough moments tend to stand out more than the meaningful, joyful, or quietly transformative ones.

Gratitude & Growth is a 2-hour live online journaling and reflection experience designed to gently counter that bias. Together, we’ll slow down, amplify what was good, recognize our growth, and positively reframe how we remember 2025.

This practice invites the healing power of storytelling, meaning-making, and reclaiming our own narratives which can help us integrate experiences, shift perspective, and tap into the resilience we already carry.

In the session, you’ll have time for guided and personal journaling, along with clear, accessible insights into the science behind why gratitude, reframing, and narrative reflection strengthen wellbeing, resilience, and happiness. This is a supportive space to reconnect with yourself, honour your journey, and close the year with intention and clarity.

• Live Event with Guided Journal Booklet: $30
• Guided Journal Booklet alone $12

A printable guided PDF journal booklet is included with registration.

To complete the journal on your own, without attending the live event, purchase a Guided Journal Booklet ticket and it will be emailed to you by December 5th.

If you are unable to attend the live event, you will receive a recording of the session afterwards so that you can still complete the guided journaling experience.
