I am passionate about forgiveness and helping people bring higher consciousness to conflict and conflict resolution, including greater emotional and spiritual awareness. I lead a two-day workshop on forgiveness and a one-day workshop on self-forgiveness, both of which have been incredibly transformational for people. I have produced a workbook and cd on forgiveness, and am currently writing a book on the subject.

    Hello Eileen:

    I have a quick story to tell you. I was inspired to reachout to a former boss who did me wrong 30 years ago. The inspiration came from the CU NDR program and you class and recent workshop on the power of forgiveness. I approached him via email to tell him that I forgave him for firing me so many years ago. He interpreted my overture as a request of forgiveness from him rather than the other way around. I was a stellar performer on his team. My downfall was that I failed to conform despite my successes. A friend of mine told me not to worry since in her opinion, my former boss still does not get it. I am glad that I contacted him to achieve my own peace of mind even though he remains a despicable character.
