Saturday Workshop
The workshop will begin with a short (4 min.) film titled “Forgiveness: Even in the Face of Genocide?” Discussion will follow. We will then consider our own definitions of forgiveness and possible resistance we may have to it. We will do this in breakout groups, later to be shared with the whole group. Next we will reflect on Vahidin’s definition of forgiveness. If we accept this new definition, we will then look at ways that we can possibly really do it. Using examples from our own lives, we will again break out in small groups to consider the need and practicality of forgiveness, learning from each other how it may actually, heartfully, be achieved. (The person we need to forgive may be ourselves.) We will complete the workshop with a bringing-together of our learnings.
