Opening to the Heart of Forgiveness

You are invited to participate in creating a Journal on Forgiveness

 

I believe that it is through this soul/spirit-jewel work, that we reveal the unspeakable beauty of each of our individual souls, made manifest in the work of our human life.

 

The numerous references in scripture to forgiveness attest to the importance of this work.  As I reflect on the life of Jesus and other great spiritual teachers, I am aware that their lives manifested forgiveness, taught forgiveness, and celebrated forgiveness.

 

  Could this one act of living our life in forgiveness of ourselves and one another through the gift of God’s grace, be the key that unlocks all that is bound in our lives and in the woundedness of our world?  Is it the “pearl of great price” that teaches us to live in the Kingdom of God here and now? 

 

Is it imperative that we work on forgiveness within our own souls, so that we are free to be truly present to one another?  Can we be mirrors to reveal the beauty of each of their souls? 

 

I invite you participate with me to reveal how taking time to sit with forgiveness and be taught by the Wisdom within, can transform and heal our souls to bring forth the magnificent beauty that is our inheritance as children of God.

LIFEBOOK®
TWO-DAY RETREAT

Planting Seeds of Hope for Living Life with Purpose; 
                                 Leaving a Legacy of Hope & Love

 
The process of completing LifeBook® has at its root, the potential to deepen the process of participating in our spirituality through the recognition of where spiritual pain exists in one’s life. Within the process of healing of spiritual pain the potential to transform our lives into deeper connection to God and others is accelerated. We become conscious participants not only in our own healing, but through our relatedness to all life, we help to transform all living into sacred peace and holiness. This two-day retreat will be experiential in nature inspiring and teaching through music, story, ritual and visual presentation deepening your process of completing your LifeBook®.

Day One: The First Five Chapters of LifeBook® focusing on the Physical journey.
