Drawing on sixteen years of working at Hazelden Treatment Center, Mary will demonstrate these processes, and you will be inspired with new hope for becoming who you wish you can be - a soul-illumined person who has healed their emotional pain and is free to live purposefully. When you make the commitment to bring your recovery program to new life by forgiving everyone and everything - past and present - you will travel to new levels of health and consciousness with growing ease and grace. It's not hard to forgive. Learn how to do it - do it for you.  Your new life is waiting!
