This fun, active, and experiential workshop introduces attendees to the mindfulness practice of Gratitude Journaling. We explore various techniques of journaling and how the influence of writing with gratitude can produce numerous benefits to our mental, emotional and physical health. Through this workshop we will create a foundation for building a daily practice that will support you in attracting more abundance, love, happiness and align you with your greatest potential. The first part of class will be journaling followed by a gratitude meditation and time for community shares and questions. 

Please come to the online session with paper and a pen or something with this to write!

No prior experience with writing or meditation necessary.  

Amy Rutledge came to the study of meditation as a path toward personal healing after struggles with the effects of Lyme Disease as well as depression and anxiety and found that it helped her in ways when many other approaches failed. This led her to training as a Mindful Meditation Teacher at the Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science in Manhattan. She has taught classes and led meditation exercises for a wide range of business and cultural institutions, from IBM, NACTO, and Jet.com (Walmart) to the Girl Scouts of America and the public institutions such as the Los Angeles and Jersey City Public Libraries.

Ms. Rutledge brings to her classes and workshops a graciousness for the second chance that mediation has given her and a passionate desire to aid others with their suffering as she has similarly been aided. She has an expertise in Loving-Kindness/Metta meditation and skills in leading meditation toward mindfulness, self-healing, self-worth and creative visualization. In addition to her skills with mindfulness and meditation, she has significant experience in the arts as an actress and producer, as well as experience as a ceramicist and owner at RoughWare.
