The Global Forgiveness Field with Barbara J Hunt
Barbara recently joined Amisha Ghadiali on our podcast and it felt that a collective field of global forgiveness would be a powerful thing for us to do as a community. And so we welcome you to this event (whether you are new to this community or here already). We are really excited about the what could happen when so many who care about the future of the planet gather for this forgiveness work.
You can listen to the podcast episode, "Melodies of Freedom" here.
About the online event:
How does your heart feel when you think about the global problems that we face as a humanity? Do you feel a mixture of anger, outrage, frustration, grief, disappointment, hopelessness and powerlessness. But maybe you also sense hope, possibilities, inspiration, vision and determination.
What's not immediately obvious is how the practice of forgiveness could be of any benefit. How can letting go of our resentments help solve the challenges of the world?
Try asking this instead: "How does holding onto my resentment help solve the challenges of the world?"
Perhaps you believe that anger is what drives action. Certainly anger shows us where our boundaries are so we know when they've been violated. But is it possible to take a stand for what we believe in, without needing to denigrate, shame or resent others in the process? How can we move from "us vs them" to "all of us"?
As Maya Angelou said: "Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in this world, but it has not solved one yet."
The truth is, it doesn't matter how hard you hate something, reject a situation or organisation, or want it to be different, resentment alone will not change it. In fact, freeing your heart from your resentment immediately releases all that energy so you can put it to better use - to help co-create "the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible." (Charles Eisenstein).
If you are curious about how you can free your heart from the addictive seduction of resentment, of hating the way things currently are: cultural divides, the power structures, particular politicians, global corporate leaders, unelected un-democratic international organisations, or anyone or anything else, you are warmly invited to attend our upcoming Global Forgiveness Field.
"Out beyond ideas of right-doing
And wrong-doing
There is a field
I'll meet you there."
(Rumi)
Here, you will discover what forgiveness really is, what it isn't, why it's so hard, why it matters, and how it's possible to do it. This 90 minute community workshop for "all that we are" will be led by forgiveness specialist, author and coach, Barbara J Hunt. You will be able to choose something you want to let go of from your heart - some heavy burden or stuck resentment that you might be wiling to release. Then Barbara will guide the group through the whole of her 7-step Forgiveness Made Easy process. We work with microphones off, in the privacy and safety of your own Zoom space, but together in the group field.
This means there is a collective shift for everyone, no matter what you choose to work on because your forgiveness adds to the "forgiveness field". Working together on global issues, even with individual nuances, will be a powerful collective experience.
"I believe that our forgiveness is an act of amnesty for the whole of humanity and that we benefit everyone when we consciously decide what we want to keep in our hearts. Beyond fear, beyond anger, beyond grief... only love. When we come from love, knowing we are all one humanity, with hearts that are free from resentment, we can re-envision and recreate a world that works for everyone, together." Barbara J Hunt
