Gratitude Summit (Greater Good Science Center, UC Berkeley) June 7, 2014

I was asked to create an interactive wall of Gratitude to Celebrate 3 years of Scientific Research examining the impact of Gratitude on the mind and body. 600+ people attended the Summit. Funded by the John Templeton Foundation which underwrote the research of 29 scientists, topics ranged from the neuroscience of gratitude to how gratitude might reduce bullying. 4 amazing California College of the Arts Students and graduates helped me create this celebratory and interactive piece. Thank you to Christina Conklin, Talita Suassana, Genevre Peyser, and Will Durkee. Keynote speakers at the Summit were Brother David Steindl-Rast and Jack Kornfeld.
