**Introduction**\
We are all drinking coffee in the morning. How often do we pay attention to it?\
\
.Importance of gratitude\
.Local and global\
\
We are always part of many and complex systems. We are supported by many and complex systems. Here we are taking one example to illustrate that.\
\
**Intention**\
The intention of this task is to choose one simple object, and use it to give attention to and appreciate the systems that support our lives.\
\


**Desired outcome**\
Increased ability and curiosity to 'see systems' and how we participate in them, everywhere. Wellbeing through gratitude and connection.

| **5** | <p>Debrief the task<br><br>How was it to do the task?<br>What if every time you drink coffee you could feel grateful for all of this?<br></p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
