“Love in its fullest form is a series of deaths and rebirths. We let go of one phase, one aspect of love, and enter another. Passion dies and is brought back. Pain is chased away and surfaces another time. To love means to embrace and at the same time to withstand many endings, and many many beginnings...” – Clarissa Pinkola Estés
*
Join Dr. Lockhart for this creative moment where participants will be guided to use collage and journaling to remember how light and shadows, our loss and our loving are intertwined in the process of our full experience of life.

Letters of Apology & Forgiveness
Saturday Feb. 22nd 1-3pm
*
The letter to apologize and the letter to forgive, are essential to moving on in our lives after we have had new awareness with an issue. There are people in the rubble of our growth and development, and sometimes we are in the rubble of other folks’ life journeys. Acknowledging the ways in which others might have been impacted by us and acknowledging ways that we were impacted by others allows us to dissolve harbored shame, blame, and guilt so we can move on with full awareness and empathy for ourselves and others in our relationships.
*
In this expressive writing workshop, participants will be guided by Dr. Lockhart to utilize memory and their internal gifts to write the letters that help complete a personal change journey.
You do not have to be a writer to take this workshop.
