The human heart rests in the middle of our lives, and for virtually all of us, it stands in need of healing. Its basic nature is to be courageous – and, in fact, the root word for “courage” (“cor”) means the heart. Each of us has experienced the wounded heart - starting with childhood experiences in which we learned what we had to do in order to get love.

A wounded or broken heart is a universal experience and one that we cannot always control. But a wounded heart does not need to become a bitter heart, shut off from others and the world. This course assists you to gently and lovingly embrace both the strength and the vulnerability of your heart. With time and a clear Ideal, a wounded heart can be the doorway to once again:

• trust and be open-hearted
• express compassion for yourself and others
• experience the strength and freedom of genuine forgiveness

Through experiential exercises, you will begin to heal and transform the pain and sorrow in your wounded heart and access its strength and courage.
