2024 Gathering in Gratitude will be held on Sunday, December 8th at Yokohama Arena and broadcast live to various locations!
With the blessings and gratitude of the past year in mind, we will make a leap into the new year of 2025.
On Sunday, December 8th, 2024 Gathering in Gratitude will be held live from Yokohama Arena to various locations.
The Gathering in Gratitude is a time to reflect on this year, to remember the blessings and gratitude we have received, and to strengthen our resolve for the new year ahead.
In 2024, Keiko Takahashi sensei has revealed that the key to opening a future of hope in this uncertain time of trials is for each of us to awaken our Other Self and draw forth our unlimited power and potential. Sensei guides us from every aspect.
Even when we encounter trials and difficulties, we can listen to their callings, establish the center of gravity in our souls, and live with a “healthy mind, healthy body, and healthy connections!” We cannot help but feel grateful to Sensei who has paved this path for us.
We hope that all members will gather at the upcoming 2024 Gathering in Gratitude with these thoughts in mind.
In addition to Sensei’s lecture, various events are planned for the day, including a G. EXPO summarizing some of Sensei’s activities from this year, an award ceremony for the “GO! GO! Walk,” a commemorative photo corner, etc. At the end of the lecture, we will sing GLA’s beloved song “To the Homeland of Hope” together again this year.
On Sunday, December 8th, we will gather at the Yokohama Arena and other venues, hoping to fill the venues with the joy of being able to walk together with Sensei.
Please make every effort to attend.
