This is a free event. Pre-registration is required.

The Powerful Gift of Being an Appreciator.

Are you ready to invite in more joy?

Tracey Gates, kindness ambassador, wellness coach, and author of The Power of A Few Kind Words: Create a More Meaningful Life One Letter at a Time went on a quest to fill her soul with positivity. She challenged herself to write a handwritten unexpected letter of appreciation to a different person every day for one year. What she found on her transformational journey is that being interested in those around us is one of the kindest and most nourishing things we can do both for ourselves and others. 

Through heartwarming stories and thoughtful guidance, Tracey will show us how we can cultivate the space to create a more meaningful and abundant life filled with empowering, uplifting and connecting energy. 

Copies of Tracey’s book The Power of A Few Kind Words: Create a More Meaningful Life One Letter at a Time will be available for purchase at the workshop. 

Morven is proud to present this workshop in partnership with the Princeton Public Library as part of Arts & Health Mercer, a coalition of arts and culture organizations of the Mercer County region seeking to create awareness of the health benefits of the arts, and provide access to these benefits through our programming in the month November (National Arts and Health Month).
