Placeholder Image
MONROE - Great Plains Zen Center will present the "Embracing Forgiveness" workshop from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10 at the center, W7762 Falk Road.

The one-day workshop will combine the work of Dr. Robert Enright of the International Forgiveness Institute and the experience of meditation to help those who attend open up to their feelings and move forward with them.

Participants will use journaling and guided meditation to explore various topics, including: What is forgiveness? Does forgiving mean forgetting? Is forgiveness a sign of weakness? Is reconciliation a necessary part of forgiveness? How do I forgive myself? What ways of working with anger are more successful than others?

Participants will be given tools in the form of understanding and experience to help on their personal journey.

The workshop is led by Susan Myoyu Andersen, roshi.

There is the suggested donation of $20 or $10 for students and seniors and includes a vegetarian lunch.
