Welcome To Forgiveness: Release The Past & Find Peace
With Juli HammersleyYou can’t change what happened. But you can change what you carry forward. Forgiveness can be one of the most misunderstood parts of healing. We may be told to forgive, forget, and move on, yet some experiences leave an imprint that cannot simply be wished away. A painful conversation, betrayal, disappointment, or regret can return to our thoughts long after the moment itself has passed. The Freedom of Forgiveness is a gentle three-day journey designed to help you explore forgiveness in a kinder, more compassionate way. This course will not ask you to excuse hurtful behaviour, forget what happened or reconnect with someone who is no longer right for your life. Instead, you’ll discover how forgiveness can become less about another person and more about releasing some of what you have been carrying. Across three carefully structured lessons, we’ll explore why the mind can repeatedly return to unresolved experiences, the difference between helpful reflection and rumination, and how our thoughts and emotions can influence the way we feel in the present. You’ll learn simple practices to help you recognise when an old story has taken hold, soften your response and gently return your attention to now. We’ll also explore forgiveness alongside healthy boundaries and turn towards one of its most tender aspects: forgiving ourselves. Through accessible teaching, reflection, breath awareness and guided practices, you’ll build a simple framework you can return to long after the course has finished. There is no pressure to reach a particular destination. Perhaps something will shift. Perhaps something will soften. Or perhaps you’ll simply begin to understand what you’ve been carrying — and discover that you have a choice about what travels with you from here. Come exactly as you are, and let's begin.
