There may be no more divisive time than the time we’re living in right now. The answer? Forgiveness.
World-renowned humanitarian and celebrated author Mpho Tutu van Furth presents “The Healing Power of Forgiveness: The Freedom of Letting Go” – three programs on March 1 to March 3 at Trinity Spiritual Center, 651 Pequot Ave. in Southport, Connecticut. The programs will also be livestreamed via Zoom.
Tutu van Furth, daughter of the late Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and Nomalizo Tutu, will share her experiences and show attendees how to use some of the unique tools that she has developed in her work promoting peace, justice and reconciliation in daily lives. She will speak at three different times during weekend events, that attendees can participate in one, two or all three programs.
“Forgiveness and connection are surprisingly within our grasp, but it takes courage to face the harm that we have experienced and offer the grace of forgiveness to heal the wounds that we endure,” said Tutu van Furth.
“If ever there was a time that we need the tools that the practice of forgiveness and reconciliation offers, it is now – in our personal lives and in all the conflicts that we experience around the globe,” said Mark Grayson, founding director of Trinity Spiritual Center.”
