Letting Go of the Past: Buddhist Teachings on Guilt & Acceptance

Why is it so hard to ‘let go’ or forgive others or ourselves?

In this down-to-earth half-day retreat (in-person or online), we’ll explore simple but radical shifts that help us move from shame, rejection, resentment, and false acceptance that allows harm, into a place where compassion, understanding, patience, and clear boundaries can coexist.

We’ll look at how we replace paralysing guilt (“I’m a bad person”) with wise regret (“That was unhelpful”) in ways that lead to repair, healthier self-esteem, and a kinder way forward.

Expect two sessions of practical Buddhist tools, guided reflection and meditation, and space for questions.
