Deeply painful experiences can create resentment and anger, which are then held like protective armor around the heart, constricting our capacity to love and experience joy. In this workshop, we’ll explore the obstacles to forgiveness and the way forgiveness can act as a healing process that frees the heart from self-judgment and the judgment of others. We’ll examine how unresolved anger and deeply-held resentments act as a prison for the heart, and how we can skillfully work to resolve them. Forgiveness can transform difficult relationships into steps for spiritual growth, allowing us to be true to ourselves and have compassion for others.
