Research suggests that consciously giving thanks for the good things in our lives can have profound effects on our well-being and relationships. Consider that you could have every good fortune, gift, and blessing, and, if you fail to notice them, won't even know they are there!

FAQs
Who are the teachers?
We curate teachings from scientists, artists, monks, poets, podcasters, and lots of other folks too.
We have access to so much human wisdom though books and the internet. We don't need to gather around a particular guru or expert. Instead, we curate content from the wisest and hardest-working people in the world. And use our precious shared time together to reflect and practice together in community.
And then we have trained facilitators who lead as well as participate in gatherings.
Why did you start More Neighborly?
We believe that neighborliness is a skill. We want to practice, and practicing with friends is more fun.
We want more neighborly spaces without ulterior motives. No gotchas, bait and switch, or business plans. Just regular folks getting together to practice and learn with one another.
