"When we courageously confront the past we discover how much we have gained from apparent losses. Once we get past our anxiety, we glory in the hidden benefits that accrue from what we took to be painful failures."
— Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi

Many of us have courageously and continuously confronted past events and relationships that have left us dispirited. Unaddressed, they can prevent us from reaching our full potential. It is within our capacity to reframe hurts that have affected us for many years, so that they no longer have such a hold on us.

This e-course is a collaborative venture with Sage-ing International to guide us on a restorative, enlivening journey. It consists of 12 emails that you can schedule at a pace that suits your needs. Each email provides reflective tools and support for focusing on such topics as:

- The role of life review
- Reframing the past with current wisdom
- What to do about regrets
- Forgiving self and others
- Healing painful memories and relationships

The course also includes a video on the process of life review.
