The Dive: Radical Gratitude

Sunday 29 November 7pm UK time

The Dive takes place on Sunday 29 November at 7pm (UK time). The theme for November is Radical Gratitude.

I’ve been a big fan of having a gratitude practice and have done so since about 2003. It’s a long time and I really do credit it with being a big part of how I stay regulated, happy and peacefu.

But something I have realised over the years is that gratitude is a wonderful antidote to the capitalist, consumerist world of more, more, more that we live in. In relation to this, a world that is basically powered by scarcity, gratitude truly is a radical act.

if you are reading this page, you probably, in a global community sense, have enough. Somewhere to live, people to care about, food on the table, some money in the bank, access to the internet, hope for the future.

And yet, the feeling of ‘enoughness’ is so illusive for so many of us.

In this session I am going to talk to you about my approach to gratitude, in that, in a world that trains us to want more, we can just lean into our gratitude for what is, what is already here in our lives and that doing so is both radical and transformative.

I will also share with you, the secret slice of my gratitude practice which does welcome more in, when more is what I want or need…

What’s The Dive?

The Dive is my monthly online gathering, usually held on the last Sunday of the month at 7pm UK time, where we dive into a topic that should interest us all.

It’s a cosy, thoughtful space for women who want to spend an hour reconnecting with themselves, listening to their own thoughts and then considering how they take that forward in the month ahead.

Each session lasts an hour and is gently structured around a theme that reflects common experiences for women in midlife, or that will give them structure and tools to thrive. I begin by setting the scene for the theme, then guide you through a series of journaling prompts, exercises, and questions to help you reflect, process, and gain clarity.

You don’t need to be “good at journaling” or even have ever journaled! All you have to do is book a space and show up. Bring a notebook, something nice to drink, find a comfortable spot (bed and sofa are both very welcome), and take an hour for yourself. You won’t be asked to share and you can come and leave without saying a word.

What women say about The Dive:

‘Thank you! I feel calmer, full of resolve, like I’ve unknotted something in my head.”

“These sessions made me realise more the importance of looking after and centering myself or I can’t look after other people, or work, I have to come first. But in the nicest kindest way!”

“Last night was powerful! Thanks again. feeling really good today”

“The sessions are welcoming, really easy to get into. Very ‘come as you are’, but when that isn’t a lie and what is actually meant!”

“I always look forward to being with you, and I feel sad whenever I have to miss it”.

“I love ‘Sarah Sundays’!”
