Forgiveness… Few words are as unclearly defined. Olivier Clerc, creator and facilitator of the method Circle of Forgiveness, inspired by the work of Don Miguel Ruiz, redefines forgiveness from the learnings gathered in the last 40 years, naming it “forgiveness 2.0”. In his talk, he will then clarify what forgiveness is not, by identifying the main obstacles to its practice, which are mainly amalgams, misunderstandings and hazy ideas about it. No, forgiving doesn’t mean condoning, it does not mean being weak either, nor is it reserved to religious people only. Olivier Clerc will highlight his talk with numerous real life examples, including a few astonishing ones, and show us paths to achieve forgiveness as an instrument to healing of the wounds of the heart.

So, can everything indeed be forgiven ? The answer might well surprise you…!
