THE NEXT FORGIVENESS FIELD MASTERCLASS:
I've been hosting on-line Forgiveness Field Masterclasses once a month for over two years. This is a practice space. An opportunity to not just better understand forgiveness, but to experience it for yourself.
Just like a yoga or pilates practice that keeps your body strong and supple - a forgiveness practice does the same for your heart, your mental and emotional health and your relationships.
This is a safe space to work with the tangles, knots and challenging dynamics of old built up resentment in the relational field.
We do a little reflection at the beginning of the class and I'll talk about the particular theme we're addressing each month, and then guide the whole group through the whole of my Forgiveness Made Easy process. It's an experiential guided visualisation. We work mics off - so you have the privacy of your own space, but together in the transformational field of the group.
Forgiveness work, imho, is the deepest, most profound most difficult leadership practice that there is. A master leadership practice. Or an essential secular ethics, mental and emotional wellbeing practice, if you prefer. Either way, forgiveness is a practice that can seemingly miraculously transform your relationships. It's also good for your physical health. And ultimately, the only way we will resolve inter-personal conflict. If you hold a vision of harmony in your workplace, learning the art of how to forgive, will be transformational.
This time, we will meet on the International Day of Peace - Saturday 21st September 2024 @ 4pm UK/

I look forward to seeing you there.
What is FORGIVENESS?
Forgiveness means letting go of the grievances you've been harbouring in your heart.
It's NOT condoning unacceptable behaviour
It's NOT letting someone walk all over you
It's NOT about reconciliation
It's NOT for the other person
You are the primary beneficiary of your forgiveness.
But, if you believe we are all interconnected, you letting go in your own heart, adds to the "forgiveness field" - the resonance of love that says, "I will not hate or resent you for what you did or didn't do."
What is the FORGIVENESS FIELD? It's a non-spiritual, non denominational, secular ethics, non-judgemental, space where your shadow is welcomed. You can admit to your anger, hate, grievances, pettiness, guilt, pain, shame and blame. Then let it all go.
What is a FORGIVENESS FIELD MASTERCLASS? It's an on-line Zoom masterclass, where you can practice forgiving something or someone. A bit like a yoga studio or martial arts dojo, you come, you do your practice, you return another time. You keep practicing.
What happens in the FORGIVENESS FIELD? We gather together on Zoom. First there's a little theory. I give anintroduction about what forgiveness is and isn't and you'll have the opportunity to reflect on who/what you'd like to forgive. We'll discuss the many reasons why we find it hard to forgive: why we seem to prefer resenting someone to forgiving them. You'll have the chance to discover why you may have been holding onto your resentment for so long. You'll also be able to reflect on the many downsides of the burden of resentment and unhealed grief, in a way that will help you to choose to let it go. Then the second half is the PRACTICE part. I'll guide the whole group, mics off through the whole of my FORGIVENESS MADE EASY process.
This means you work on one resentment - nothing too traumatic as this is a practice space - but something you know you really want to release. We work mics off, so you can participate in the "active imagination" process, by speaking aloud when guided to, without fear of being overheard. This is where you "pour your darkness into space" (Kahlil Gibran) The muck that fertilizes the forgiveness field. Then the flowers of forgiveness can bloom.
If you don't believe that you can forgive years of resentment in one session, others who've participated say:
“I have taken part in Barbara's forgiveness sessions several times and can confirm that each time I was able to shine light into dark pockets of resentment, that 40 years of meditation (in the Tibetan tradition, therefore including tons of meditations on love and compassion), many different types of therapy and shadow work, and lifelong inquiry of my opinions and intentions did not reach.”
"Oh my goodness what a huge time that was and so powerful but gentle and I am going to use the word 'easy' but it's probs not quite the right description. Thank you. I dissolved something that had been an unrelenting source of self yuk for years. Thank you so much and as always your clear explanations, understandable directives, compassion and enthusiasm shone brightly and helped me through. EVERYBODY needs to do this work and if I ruled the universe they would!" "Honoured and blessed to have been part of your wonderful forgiveness circle."
"Barbara you are a genius of the heart. Your different levels of awareness and wisdom are astonishing. So deeply grateful for your time and support."
"I felt very held and supported during this powerful workshop. I was struggling to say out loud what I needed to say to my mother especially after all the years of repression and shutting down, but I was grateful for your encouragement to continue to speak out loud." "
"Barbara your workshop was powerful, intense and supportive. Your gentle voice helped to keep me grounded and present during the forgiveness circle which helped me to connect with the compassionate parts of myself. I loved how you included imagery - I found this to so helpful in making the whole experience come alive."

What fascinates me the most about forgiveness is three things:
Ultimately, the primary beneficiary of your forgiveness is always you.
But the truth is, your forgiveness is also an act of amnesty for the whole of humanity. Peace in your Heart = Peace in your Home Peace in your Home = Peace in the World. Everyone is welcome. There is a minimum suggested donation of £15, but because we're about peace in every heart - you can choose what you wish tp pay and for some of the masterclasses, like the one for International Peace, a percentage of the profits go to the amazing charity that I support: Loving Humanity.
