Day Workshop - Learning to Forgive

***Join Lorna Byrne’s retreat for one day.***

“The most important thing for each of you to realize is that you have the power inside of you to decide to forgive. Deciding to forgive someone releases some of the hurt inside of you. If you do decide to forgive as times goes on, you will notice that you are not hurting as much.” Lorna Byrne

Forgiveness can be one of the hardest things. We all struggle with forgiveness in some ways after we’ve been hurt. Maybe someone you love broke your trust, or a friend you thought would always be around chose to leave. We all feel abandoned and wronged at some point in our lives. But we can’t move on and live fully again until we learn how to forgive both ourselves and others.

If we don’t forgive, we run the risk of becoming bitter and full of resentment. You need to learn how to let go of all the hurt and pain inside you so you can begin to live with love and joy again. Remember that forgiveness benefits the forgiver more than the forgiven. Whenever you truly forgive, you release blessings upon blessings.

On this day retreat, Lorna will guide you through exercises on the different types of forgiveness.

You’ll start to learn how to:

• Begin the forgiveness process.
• Start releasing old pain, hurt, and burdens.
• Forgive yourself for any guilt you may feel in your life.
• Stop holding onto the past and start healing.

During the day you will receive teaching in person with Lorna Byrne. In keeping with her style of guidance Lorna will tailor the activities, teachings and exercises to suit the exact needs of the group attending. Depending on the weather you may also have the opportunity to practice outdoors in nature as Lorna herself was taught as a child.
