Mindfulness Meditation: Forgiveness

Forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood concepts in our world, and yet one of the most important of all personal qualities to achieve. The Buddha taught that forgiveness is necessary for creating peace within ourselves, in our families, in our communities, and in the world. In this experiential workshop we will use lecture, discussion, guided reflections, and meditation practices to explore what forgiveness really is, why it is so important, and the process and practices by which it is achieved.
Some experience with meditation practice is helpful but not required.
