Dennis Pratt, director of the Personal Growth Network (PGN), will host a Giving Thanks Party from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., November 21, in Westwood. Pratt says it’s an opportunity for conscious people to really give thanks for their blessings before getting lost in the busyness of the holidays. “Gratitude is a proven method to improve personal happiness, and we are often too busy in our daily lives to take time to be grateful,” says Pratt. “Thanksgiving is the holiday that is focused on gratitude, but it can be overshadowed by obligations, cooking, football, family and Black Friday. We want to take some time to really celebrate this important holiday.”

PGN is a positive psychology support community with thousands of members in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire who are consciously and proactively creating more success and happiness in their lives. Leaders in the community create more than 150 parties, workshops, study groups and monthly Heartbeat Salons throughout the region. All are welcome to join at Meetup.com/Personal-Growth-Network.

Cost: $10 or potluck contribution. For more information and location details, call 781-320-8195 or visit Meetup.com/Personal-Growth-Network.
