Past Workshops and Training

The Forgiveness Foundation offers individuals and groups a variety of time-saving ways of defusing the past by removing festering memories of others and also guilt and “shameful deeds” committed but never cleaned up. Aggression, rage, depression and most other woes that plague us have, as their source, errors from the past which have never been forgiven.

Learn and experience a powerful method that helps deep forgiveness to occur. We utilize a comprehensive approach – incorporating psychological, sociological, educational and other aspects. Give this important gift to yourself and others close to you.

HOW TO FORGIVE WHEN YOU CAN’T: FREE YOUR HEART & MIND – Semester course done at Duke University
1) Refusing to forgive hurts you. But sometimes you just don’t know how. This class can help. It presents a proven sequence of powerful forgiveness techniques that can heal a lifetime of resentment, grudges, regret, guilt and self-blame. Deeply useful for anyone dealing with trauma, tragedy, PTSD and abuse—as well as the professionals who help people cope with such issues—it teaches how to forgive others as well as yourself…and move onto a more peaceful, joyful life.
2) Have you ever been hurt by someone? Or upset about a traumatic event? Or angry that someone or something was taken from you? These significant losses can affect our mental and physical well-being. How do we release ourselves from such upsets? It is through forgiveness and can be independent of any religious practices.
Remember, Forgiving is not a sign of weakness, submission, or setting up to be hurt again. It is for freeing and healing yourself . Research has shown connections between forgiveness and physical and mental health, with evidence that it plays a key role in the health of families, communities, and nations.
