The actual genius, as expressed in the source material, emerges from a state of silence that is deeply replete with gratitude.
Gratitude-based experiences create space to pause and recognise what is already being given to us—the earth beneath us, the people around us, the food we receive, the knowledge we inherit and the countless forms of life that make our existence possible.
These are not simply activities of saying thank you. They are invitations to notice, acknowledge and honour.
