Healing Life’s Hurts so We Don’t Forgive Too Soon

Just as we have a natural process to stop the bleeding and heal our physical wounds so too we have a natural grieving process to heal emotional hurts.  This retreat will slowly walk through the healing of a hurt with its five stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression (shame and guilt) and acceptance (discovering our gifts).  Each session will end with an exercise for healing life’s hurts.  As the emotions of anger, shame and guilt are allowed to be felt and loved, they are no longer compulsive drives but gift us to give and receive deep life with God and others.  Come to not just be healed of your hurts but to go forth with new gifts.
