The Heart of Forgiveness

Short Course

With Frank Ostaseski

What are you waiting to forgive?

When we are feeling hurt, disappointed, angry or betrayed, the idea of forgiving someone is difficult to even consider.

Yet, forgiveness can help heal what divides us. It releases the fear and resentment in the heart that keeps us separate from ourselves, from others, and from life itself.

Frank Ostaseski – the visionary cofounder of the Zen Hospice Project – has accompanied over 1,000 people through the dying process, where he has learned that receiving and extending forgiveness are some of the strongest needs at the end of life.

Forgiveness is a process of touching old pain with an awareness that is infused with mercy. In the end, all forgiveness is self-forgiveness. In this on-demand course, we honestly explore both the benefits and obstacles to forgiveness.

Join this session for the opportunity to:

  • Explore the difficulties of forgiveness
  • Discern the difference between forgiving and forgetting
  • Learn heart-opening forgiveness meditation practices

What are Short Courses?

With the independent student in mind, previously recorded Dharma practice sessions have been curated and trimmed into short guided videos that are easy to understand and put into practice.

Short courses include longer periods of meditation interspersed with wise teachings, practice exercises, a recorded Q&A from the live class, and more.

When you sign up, you’ll get instant access so you can join the course on your own schedule, and at your ideal pace. With lifetime access, you can watch and re-watch the videos as you please.

What’s Included

Approximately 3 hours of pre-recorded video content. Every video – whether a lesson, meditation, exercise, or Q&A – includes a description, so you have total flexibility when planning your self-paced study.

Cost

Short Courses are offered on a sliding scale basis, with a suggested rate of $35. We wholeheartedly welcome all to practice with us; no one turned away for lack of funds.
