FORGIVENESS: Telling our Stories in healthier ways

Forgiveness means, “Ceasing to harbor resentment.” It sounds so simple, but actually it is one of life’s greatest challenges. One of my favorite definitions of the process of forgiveness is, “the construction of a new narrative of the self and other, and one’s relations to the world.” In this workshop participants will hear, and reflect on world folktales that illustrate aspects of the forgiveness process and its benefits, including: self-protection, grief, listening to our anger, empathy and perspective shifts, and cultivating an open and compassionate heart . Working also with personal stories we will explore these aspects and stages, and especially self-forgiveness. There will be lots of time for quiet reflection, writing and telling stories as participants choose.   Register here.
