Radical forgiveness

Over a period of ten years, as Colin Tipping and his wife began leading forgiveness workshops, cancer retreats and corporate seminars, they heard enough horror stories to convince them that there is probably not a human being on the planet who has not been seriously victimized at least once, and in minor ways more times than they could count. Who among us could say they have never blamed someone else for their lack of happiness?

Colin Tipping asks, "How can we stop creating our lives this way and let go of the victim archetype as the model of how to live our lives?" He has developed a Radical Forgiveness ceremony based on Aboriginal traditions.

Bonnie has experienced several Colin Tipping Radical Forgiveness ceremonies, and has benefited greatly. Though she deeply appreciated the Forgiveness aspect of his work, she was even more excited by his discussion of "levels of energy" and how we can lift our own vibration to be a positive force in the world. His book, Radical Forgiveness, and his Radical Forgiveness ceremonies, suggest that as we work through phases of forgiveness we discover underlying gifts, and eventually we come to realize, "There is nothing to forgive."
