ADR & Forgiveness Training | The Center for Peace & Forgiveness

Increasing Peace Around You and Your Community

This Forgiveness Training is about giving you skills to respond differently to the people who plague you, thus positively changing the interactions you have with them and permanently changing your life for the better. At the Center for Peace and Forgiveness we seek to help you increase your peace and the peace in our community one person at a time. We work with individuals and small groups to help people reach a better emotional and physical space, moving them forward in their life through the processes of Forgiveness Training.

The foundation of the Center for Peace and Forgiveness has always been the Alternative Dispute Resolution processes of mediation, domestic conciliation, parent coordination and case management.

Forgiveness Training Helps

What an amazing program! I had the most phenomenal experience! This program is so well designed, and Diane Sherwood knows her stuff and does an incredible job presenting. You dig deep without knowing your digging. The materials used were very helpful and informative and something I will continue to reference. The cost is reasonable, $300.00, it’s a weekend workshop/8 hours a day (16 total). Let me just say, it’s well worth it. There is not one person walking around that doesn’t need peace and forgiveness.

In the movie “The Matrix,” the character Neo asked Morpheus, “Why do my eyes hurt?” “Because you never used them.” This is how I would describe Forgiveness Training. I’ve been walking around “knowing” where the problems of life are, never giving a second thought as to why I kept bumping into them over and over. Hate, resentment and unforgiveness are the monsters that kept my eyes closed to the world’s beauty and the possibilities that lie beyond. When I first saw my own monsters face-to-face, it caused a lot of pain. My monsters are still there, but now I see them for what they are, weak manifestations of times where I had no control over what was happening to me. Each day I grow stronger and my monsters grow weaker. My monsters once served a purpose; to keep me away from people and situations that could be unsafe, but that kept me away from the good as well.

What Forgiveness training has done for me is it let’s me see that my monsters have no teeth and can no longer hurt me.
