Forgiveness is a powerful tool for healing hearts and communities, yet many Christians do not know what forgiveness is or how to live into it. With stories of courageous forgivers, scripture and silent reflection, we will explore what forgiveness is and what it isn’t, why forgiveness is central for healing and peacemaking, and how to live more deeply into the forgiveness of others and of ourselves. This retreat is for all who desire to go deeper into the process of forgiveness, as well as for those who lead others in the healing of bitterness and shame as pastors, spiritual directors and counselors.
