LifeApp wants to know who or what 91原创 feels gratitude towards and help people express their positive feelings to one another.
Jonathan and Teresa Penner are the founders and directors of LifeApp, a health and wellness centre for relationships, which has been operating in 91原创 for the past five years.
Holding monthly seminars, talks, and programs at the Chief Sepass Theatre 鈥� LifeApp鈥檚 newest event, Gratitude, will be happening Saturday, Sept. 28, from 7:30 to 9 p.m.
鈥漌e鈥檙e starting a conversation on mental, social, physical and spiritual aspects of life,鈥� Jonathan explained. 鈥淲e want to create a community of love and show others how to live it. It starts with a conversation鈥asterclasses built with both art and science. [LifeApp] is a micro-community and support circle exploring how we put that all into our ordinary life.鈥�
The husband and wife team made the move from Victoria to Vancouver a few years back, but it was the involvement of a reality show that helped them connect with the Fraser Valley.
鈥淲e we鈥檙e part of the program Million Dollar Neighbourhood in Aldergrove,鈥� Jonathan explained. 鈥淒oing that show really connected us with a lot of people and helped us put down our roots.鈥�
鈥淲e found that 91原创 was more open to exploring those broader questions like 鈥榳hat is love?鈥� and 鈥榟ow do we love鈥�,鈥� Teresa added. 鈥淗ealthy children create healthy families and healthy families create healthy communities 鈥� and we want to build a healthy community.鈥�
Based on the mandate of 鈥渋nspire, equip, and support,鈥� LifeApp has been growing interest in the community, participating in recent events like Summerset Music and Arts Festival while offering varying classes throughout the year.
鈥淲e鈥檒l have four hour vulnerability weekend morning classes and even three-day events to work through questions like 鈥榟ow well do you know yourself鈥� and 鈥榳hat鈥檚 holding you back鈥�,鈥� Jonathan added.

The monthly series of events have tackled topics such as love, shame, relationships, conflict, and forgiveness.
Gratitude has already kicked off with an online campaign; LifeApp is asking people to tag them and person they appreciate in a social media post with the hashtag #EnvisionGratitude.
鈥淲e want to create a culture of appreciation. Saying 鈥榳hat I appreciate鈥� to someone changes how we interact with each other,鈥� Jonathan said.
The top stories shared online, chosen by the LifeApp team, have a chance at winning a night for two at Sparkling Hill Resort in Vernon, a massage for two at SuCasa Salon and Spa in Fort 91原创, or a dinner for two at Fortitude.
Tickets are available at to attend the Sept. 28 event. People can also follow them on to get updates on upcoming events.
鈥淚f you were to take a TED Talk, a late night show live band, and an Oprah Winfrey segment, you鈥檇 start to have a LifeApp event,鈥� Teresa said. 鈥淐hief Sepass seats around 330 and we usually hit 220. We鈥檙e hoping for a sold out audience this time.鈥�
