Cultivating Forgiveness - InsightLA Meditation

Financial Support

Our mission is to make all of our programs accessible. Every fee-based offering has a limited number of pay-what-you-can spots available to support self-identified people of color, members of marginalized groups (queer people, transgender people, and people with disabilities) and those in financial need (those for whom the cost to attend is not financially possible).

These spots are offered on a first come, first served basis. Please pay at the highest level you can afford. In order for this support to be available, we rely on those who can afford to pay the full price to do so.

Find out if spots are available by clicking REGISTER NOW on the event you are interested in.

“I think of forgiveness as coming to terms with things as they are, and choosing to live with a light and generous heart. It doesn’t mean condoning cruelty or whitewashing over any kind of abuse or mistreatment. And it doesn’t mean reconciliation. It’s a radical reclamation of personal well-being and a refusal to contribute to the cycle of hatred and retribution.”
-Margaret Cullen

Forgiveness is both a natural capacity and a skill that can be learned and strengthened. By becoming more forgiving yourself, you are also relieving suffering for others.

In this course we’ll explore what forgiveness is, what it isn’t, and pay particular attention to what gets in the way of the natural unfolding of forgiveness.

The course includes:

Daily meditation practice. It is surprising how much can happen in just one week of practicing forgiveness!!!!!
Two 2-hour classes with reflections, guided group inquiry and small group exercises.
Lots of supplemental materials on the science of and research about forgiveness.
The purpose of this course is to increase the possibility of forgiveness through challenging misconceptions, removing obstacles, clarifying understanding, and learning a formal forgiveness practice. You’ll have an opportunity to connect in real time with individuals from around the world as you experiment with and practice forgiveness.
Didactic presentations, reflections, dyads, small and large group discussion and guided meditation (mp3 provided).
Relevant research on forgiveness will be shared, but the primary focus is experiential.
