Freeing our Hearts
"Forgiveness does
not change the past, but it does enlarge the future." ~Bernard Meltzer
Our roles as women have been changing rapidly in the past
several generations. In addition to the opportunities that have opened for us
in the world of work, we also want satisfying intimate relationships. We don’t
want to sacrifice our autonomy and lose ourselves in our relationships. To
navigate the rapidly changing world of relationships, it is helpful to have
“heart tools.”
In tonight’s program, Ani will offer us one of the heart tools
from the her new book, written with her husband Bill, Heart Tools for Couples: 8 Ways to a Loving Relationship.
The Heart Tool we will focus on tonight is Transforming Hurt and Resentment into Forgiveness. Inevitably in
relationships we hurt and disappoint each other. This heart tool is a
step-by-step process to let go of the weight of resentments, while honoring
ourselves and our partner. The workshop features guided reflection and
journaling, followed by group discussion.
