Discover the Joy of Forgiveness

There's never been a better time to remove the barriers to a healthy, productive life!

Even though people have hurt you and you cannot forget it, you can be free from grudges, resentment, self-defeating habits, and negative feelings. Forgiving is the only way to stop the pain and bring hope for the future.

Come on a "healing journey" through a practical, personal workshop or retreat. You'll discover that forgiveness is a profound emotional strength. Together we'll identify and process the stages of forgiveness and healing. Along the way, you'll learn strategies you can use in your personal and/ or professional life to avoid or resolve hurtful situations.

If you want your non-profit organization to benefit from this, you also can arrange a one-hour PowerPoint presentation for professional development, providing an overall view of forgiveness -- what it is and what it is not.

Make peace with your past so you can go on with your life!
