Identify where you create separation and free yourself from anger and blame. A 10-day online course on forgiveness available via the Insight Timer app. (schedule is “on demand” – at your own pace)

In Buddhism, forgiveness is the prerequisite to loving fully. One way of understanding forgiveness is never putting another person or ourselves out of our heart.

We’ll practice, together, the most powerful reflections and meditations I know that cultivate a forgiving heart.
