The Struggle to Forgive and Be Forgiven

We live with many misconceptions about the nature of forgiveness that keep us from repairing our relationships. Forgiveness is not a compliant act but an important process, an ethical struggle that can last a long time and that must be understood and honored, Our forgiving self is the strongest, most loving part of who we are. It allows us to voice our anger without doing damage, acknowledge our part in what has gone wrong, and see the flaws in ourselves and others as part of our humanity.

This program introduces participants to some key concepts in the process of forgiveness and invites them to examine their own ethical struggle to forgive and be forgiven.
