Forgiveness and Restoration Workshop

The ​ESPERE workshop –the Schools of Forgiveness and Reconciliation program developed by Fundación para la Reconciliación in Colombia– will help you understand the crucial role that forgiveness plays in restoration.

During 12 modules of journeying towards forgiveness, you will:

• Work with a personal offence experienced in your past.
• Acknowledge the impact of offences on your emotions, responses and behaviours.
• Understand the consequences of anger and resentment on your health.
• Discover alternatives to overcome the corrosive emotions that lead to cycles of vengeance and violence and be freed from a past connected to pain and victimhood.
• Reinforce principles that restore dignity and care in relationships.
• Recognize the role of truth and justice in restoring trust.
• Explore restorative practices that can heal memories and create new narratives.
