The Journey of Forgiveness: Walking the Long Road
Presenter: Kalyn Falk, M.A. https://kalynfalk.com/
 
Forgiveness is not a one-time act, but a direction—a path we choose and re-choose. Often misunderstood, forgiveness is not weakness, forgetting, or reconciliation. It does not erase accountability or bypass grief.
 
As we enter into a time of reflection, honesty, and return in our own lives, we are invited to consider forgiveness not as surrender, but as liberation. In this workshop, we explore a deeper, more truthful understanding of forgiveness: one that honours pain, nurtures dignity, and restores our sense of agency. Grounded in the stages of injury, grievance, and transcendence, we’ll reflect on the movement from blame to accountability, from shame to belonging, from harm to healing. Through guided reflection and shared wisdom, we’ll begin to ask: What does it mean to grow bigger than the wound?
