Author and artist Megumi Inouye joins us in this Instagram Live to discuss how gift wrapping is not only an exercise in gratitude, but also an act of self-care. Inspired by the Japanese art of giving, the creations in her book, The Soul of Gift Wrapping, illustrate how wrapping a gift in an intentional way nurtures our lives and connections to others.
A walkthrough tutorial of how to create a gratitude bow follows the conversation.
