Apologies - Part 3 - The Apology you need to hear

You do not need to have attended previous sessions to attend this one.

Building on the work we did to understand what makes a good apology and the apology to ourselves, we will continue to work on engaging with this through a discussion of apologies that we feel we need to hear. What is the value of having someone give an apology to a person? What gets in the way of someone being able to give an apology?

Getting more personal - Is there an apology that you feel you need to hear? In what way do you think it would be beneficial? Why do you think you haven't heard it?

Writing prompt: Write the apology that you need to hear from the voice of the person you wish to hear it from. Try, if you can, to put in some sort of explanation of why from their point of view.

There will be a document outlining what makes a good apology available after the first session - use it to help you with this. This is not mandatory for attendance but a helpful exercise to attempt to do.

Near the end of our time together, we will have a short (10 minute) guided meditation on the topic of finding forgiveness.

This event is part of Hungry Mind's look at emotional intelligence and it can involve opening to vulnerability and parts that we might not often share publicly. We ask all attendees to be respectful and deeply kind to everyone else.
