"Gratitude: a Cornerstone of Bhakti"
Online Course, October - November, 2025
Sundays 11.00-13.00 Stockholm time (CET)
Welcome to join in exploring the power of gratitude!
"I highly recommend the Gratitude course.
Empathic Gratitude is the fuel
that gives us the energy and inspiration
to deepen our connection
with Krishna and His parts and parcels."
- His Holiness Bir Krishna das Goswami -
How this course would contribute to your life?
This course will apply the clarity that Empathic Communication (EC) brings to (re-)discover the power of gratitude in your spiritual and material life and fill your energy tank by building nourishing gratitude practices in your life.
One of the goals is to learn to distinguish between self-focused gratitude (praise) and empathic gratitude. This understanding holds the potential of creating a shift of paradigm from praising that comes from an authoritarian mentality to genuine appreciation and gratitude with the only purpose of celebrating the God-given power to contribute to each others' wellbeing.
Whether you are new to Empathic Communication or a seasoned practitioner, you are warmly welcome!
