Can insights from psychology and theology deepen our understanding of forgiveness? How do we live out Christian forgiveness in a divided society?

Join the American Scientific Affiliation for our 6th Annual Winter Symposium, featuring Charlotte and John Witvliet, facilitated by ASA Fellow Se Kim. This free online event explores how research on forgiveness intersects with Christian worship, mental health, and human flourishing.

Pathways to Grace: Healing and Renewal for Women and Men.

Join us for this interactive, experiential hybrid online/in-person experience with Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI), specifically focused for Christian communities. This will be held with online sessions November 24 and December 1, and in-person sessions December 4, 5, and 6.

Developed over 30 years and conducted with thousands of participants across six continents, the GERI process applies principles of Truth and Reconciliation pioneered by Archbishop Desmond Tutu to begin a process of healing divisions across humanity. Our journey on this course will take us through the often-muted attitudes, fears, shame and brokenness of patriarchal society, to reclaim and restore the mutual harmony, respect and collaboration intended for men and women as God’s image bearers.

Leaving behind our busy agendas, we join together to create a safe space for attentive listening as we begin to unravel the truth of our gendered experiences. Gradually, a deeper level of compassion and understanding unfolds to reveal tangible pathways to re-imagine and re-form gender relations that move toward forgiveness, healing and the restoration of relationships.

Please join us as we embrace a new form of spiritual healing and reconciliation work that builds trust and connection through a skillful combination of interactive activities, spiritual practice, and transformative group process.

  • Online sessions: Monday, November 24, and Monday, December 1 (6:00–8:30 p.m.)
  • In-person retreat: December 4 (5:30–9:00 p.m.), December 5 (4:00–9:00 p.m.), and December 6 (9:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.)

GILDED FOR GREATNESS

I’m excited to share an initiative that I believe can bring deep healing and empowerment to the people we build with—Gilded for Greatness.

This is not just another workshop; it is an interactive empowerment experience designed to help participants confront broken areas of life and transform them into symbols of resilience and strength. Each person receives:

  • A clay vase to symbolize their journey ( theirs to keep)
  • A burlap bag to hold the broken pieces ( theirs to keep)
  • Gold adhesive 
  • Mats
  • Gold writing pen 

I provide all of the supplies for participants. To offset costs, a registration fee is required (generally $40.00 per person).

I will walk the participants through the exercise and partner with your team to looks at next steps to healing and building 

Why partner with Gilded for Greatness?

  • It creates a powerful, hands-on moment of healing and reflection
  • It is adaptable for churches, community organizations, women’s groups, colleges, and leadership teams
  • I am willing to customize the event to fit the unique needs of your organization

I would love the opportunity to bring this initiative to your community, either by hosting an event together or you can help sponsor participants who would greatly benefit from the experience.

Let’s connect to discuss howGilded for Greatness can serve your organization.
