​This is a free weekly online space, to join together and practise forgiveness in a very real and grounded way. This is about forgiveness as a visceral, felt, experienced reality.

In my knowing, forgiveness has nothing to do with the other person, or even with what has happened. It isn’t about condoning behaviour or pretending that something didn’t matter. It’s about recognising the judgment that is generated and sustained in the mind, and placed upon another. Over time, that judgment binds us into opposition, and it’s that polarity that holds us in stasis, within our own minds and with others. Bound in separation.

Forgiveness is the process of releasing judgment. Not forcefully, not as an idea, but as something lived and palpable, that can gradually soften and dissolve when it’s seen clearly, and met with Love.

As that happens, something begins to shift. We can come out of reactivity, releasing the need to be in opposition, and discover a new clarity, liberated from right and wrong making as the foundation of perception.

​From that place, discernment becomes possible, a grounded, embodied sense of what is true, and what is needed.

It allows for a “no” that isn’t driven by anger or defence, but is still clear, empowered and fully intact.

This isn’t about becoming passive or turning away from what’s difficult. In essence, it allows for a deeper honesty in how we meet ourselves and life. It becomes possible to remain open, even when something needs to be challenged or refused, and to recognise that whatever is most essential in another has not been lost, even if it isn’t being expressed.

The circle itself is simple.

We meet on Zoom each week and work in pairs, moving through a series of short, timed processes. Followed by an IFS inspired debrief and reflection session, facilitated and held by Israel.

There’s no pressure to share beyond what feels right. You can come with something specific you’re working through, or simply a willingness to be present and see what arises.

You’re welcome to join as you are.
