UU is about acceptance of one another and a willingness to forgive each other. One pathway to forgiveness involves forgiving ourselves, owning our mistake, vowing to not repeat the mistake, and seeking forgiveness from those we have wronged. For many of us, forgiving others is child’s play compared to forgiving ourselves, however. Perfectionism, low self esteem, or an exaggeration of the harm of our transgression may obscure the pathway to self forgiveness. Join us as we explore ways we can move past the barriers to self forgiveness and restore healthy relationships in our lives.
