Forgiveness is at the core of living a peaceful life. It's something we all yearn for, yet something we often find difficult or nearly impossible to do.

Presenter: Pamela Verner LCSW. Pam has spent many years working within the addictions recovery field and working with individuals on later stage recovery and trauma. Through out her years of practice with clients and her years of living life, she has experienced the gifts that come from forgiveness—forgiveness of others and forgiveness of self.  She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work and is the author of a recently published memoir  Breathing into the Light: One Woman’s Journey Embracing the Sacredness of All Life.

Many of us wish we could meditate, but don’t know if we’re doing it right or get bored after a few sessions. We mean to use meditation, but just don’t get around to it. In this workshop, a method of meditation that can’t be done wrong will be explained and practiced. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is and find that you CAN meditate on a daily basis.

Deborah Marqui, LCSW and owner of Healing Gardens at Stone Hill Farm, will teach the workshop. She is a commissioned presenter of Centering Prayer and has been practicing for more than 25 years. A cancer survivor, Deborah attributes her healing to the restorative power of nature and the simple prayer practice of Centering Prayer that keeps her centered and grounded in the present moment.

This workshop will be limited to 10 participants.
