A Path Of Forgiveness: Kathryn Walczyk

Together we will explore self-forgiveness, forgiving others, and forgiving communities and institutions.
Week 1: Defining forgiveness. Personal investigation: What in me needs to forgive or needs forgiveness?
Week 2 Giving voice to the wrong, crime, hurt through writing or speaking.
Week 3: Self-reflective look at our emotions, feelings. Meditation. Writing. Speaking
Week 4: Grieving the Losses How do I do that?
Week 5: Making the decision to forgive and doing it. Acknowledgment of grace bestowed. Ritual or symbol.
Week 6: Integrating the decision. Renew or release the relationship. Where do we go from here?
Quaker Meeting for Worship each Sunday at 11:00 AM
Fox Valley Friends Meeting
At our Quaker Meeting for Worship each Sunday at 11:00 AM, we come together to seek spiritual inspiration in unprogrammed silent worship. Even though the fundamental practice is silent worship, when moved by the spirit with a message for the group, a participant may speak. Following worship there is a brief opportunity to discuss one's experiences during the meeting or simply share personal news, followed by a light lunch. All are welcome. Quakers do not evangelize, but we do enthusiastically answer any questions visitors might have.
