Online: The Power of Forgiveness – A Five Week Course
with Elaine Retholtz
Mondays, September 20th – October 25th, 2021 | 9:30am – 11:30m ET
Please note this course will not meet on Monday, October 11th, 2021
Whether it is the betrayals, disappointments, and abandonments experienced in our interpersonal lives, the injustices and tragedies perpetrated in society, or the various ways we have failed to live up to our own or others expectations of ourselves, forgiveness practice can begin to loosen the ropes binding us to the past. It can allow us to come more fully into our hearts and can be a catalyst that transforms bitterness, anger, and grief into compassion and lovingkindness.
Join us for a 5 meeting course examining forgiveness and how to heal our relationships with others, ourselves and the past. There will be home practice to engage in between meetings. This course is appropriate for meditation practitioners of all levels.
