Fearless Gratitude in Action: Nurturing Our Democracy with Shared Space

Send us a text

Join us for our Empathy & Democracy series, a live podcast and pop-up art series brought to you by the Democracy Center, VC Film Fest and Gratitude Blooming.

Guided by the changing seasons, this fourth and final installment centers on the transformative practice of "Fearless Gratitude" in action as we pause together to feel and share the depths of our emotions as we grapple with the complexities of this election year.

What if acknowledging the unseen fears and biases in our lives could reshape our story and guide how we show up for these times of great human divides?

In this episode, we uncover our shared struggles around vulnerability, courage, humility, and the wild card of life-- themes from Gratitude Blooming's Garden of Fearless Gratitude.

Together, with 35 leaders, facilitators, coaches, and community builders, we experienced how gratitude, as a social emotion, can create spaces where even our most challenging emotions can coexist harmoniously.

Tune in to remember the power of pausing in shared space to inspire collective action.  This is the crucial work ahead to nurture our democracy for a thriving future.
