In conjunction with hosting the International Forgiveness Project Exhibit, Siena Retreat Center is offering a five-day retreat experience to reflect on the themes of forgiveness, peace, and reconciliation in our world.  Including a variety of themes and led by diverse presenters, this week promises to be a rich opportunity for reflection and spiritual growth.

Topics to be included are:  forgiveness and trauma, forgiveness and local communities, brain research and spirituality, global peacemaking and reconciliation, and forgiveness in some of the world’s spiritual traditions.  Each day will afford the opportunity for facilitated discussion in an integration group.
