What People Are Saying About Forgiveness - The Course

“Since the first day of Forgiveness, The Course I felt supported to take a very deep dive into the baggage I've been carrying around FOR DECADES.  Exploring the baggage, while painful at times, has been amazingly freeing beyond words.  I know I'm truly on a path to personal growth, freedom, and spiritual wonder that I never, in my wildest imagination, could have ever dreamed possible. An added benefit from the course is that I now am beginning to use these principles with my psychotherapy clients.  The questioning in their eyes as I gently ask them if they can forgive themselves is beyond description.  The relief they show is truly amazing as they find that I won't reject or shame them for who they are.  Some try to hold on to their limiting beliefs about themselves, but in every instance, I encourage them to try and see themselves as I see them, truly wonderful, awesome, amazing, and loveable beyond words. Thank you so much for this opportunity.  I'm so glad I listened to the "soft, gentle voice" yelling in my head, "Why the hell wouldn't you want to forgive yourself?  What have you got to lose, except pain, struggle, and sorrow?"  I'm so grateful I listened and followed through.  I feel truly blessed!!!”
— Cynthia Odell, LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist)

“I experienced Forgiveness - The Course and Dancing With the Shadow with Michelle. I have transformed. I notice that my people feel safer around me – they share more from the heart. I feel safer around me! Gentler and more loving with myself. This teaching that Rev. Michelle has co-created with Spirit (God, the Divine) is direct, powerful, loving. It will transform you if you let it. Take these classes with Michelle for a powerful shift in your understanding of how you work and how the world works.” — Jude

“Forgiveness - The Course was a powerful six-week adventure. Rev. Michelle left us wanting more. There is a penetrating depth to her teaching and it has staying power. She not only invites you to “up your game”, she provides tools to do so.”— Rev. Faith

“If you are considering taking the Forgiveness class, I encourage you to say YES! It is a yes to yourself and a “yes” to your clients. The concepts, practices, and experiences of the class shifted my perspective 180 degrees. And the dedication, power, and profound wisdom of Rev. Michelle Wadleigh are unsurpassable. She takes her teaching and calling seriously, but not herself. She is funny, easy, and real. Just do yourself a favor… say Yes.” — AH, RScP

“I loved the prayer work we, the students, did with each other, the treatments you provided for us to use during the week and I also loved the scripts that you created for this purpose..” — Lynn

The power of any class has to extend beyond the last class meeting in my estimation.  This one does that! In weeks following Rev. Michelle's last Forgiveness class, I continued to work on my own forgiveness, referring often to the abundant materials she made available to us. I recommend, recommend, recommend it!! - Rev. Doris Hoffman

Rev. Dr. Michelle is a master at Forgiveness work and a gentle but tough guide on the journey. If you truly want to forgive, let her help you find the way. ~ Rev. Diane Russell

I found myself challenged with a work issue. Reverend Michelle tenderly, brilliantly asked me questions about the specifics that were coming up. I could return to this work situation with newfound freedom no longer activated by this person's behavior. WOW really blew my mind. Her skill level was amazing and on point. So thankful as it has given me hope that the work of forgiveness is mine to do. No more believing I need another to forgive me to forgive, nor is there a need to believe in the wrongness of me when life becomes challenging. Freedom from all discord truly is an inside job! This was a powerful demonstration of how it can be when work when I am willing to forgive. ~ Debra Ellis, RScP

I'd been working on forgiving people in my inventory & making a long list of "if I had only done x, y or z, perhaps I could have avoided that situation" and beginning to feel weighed down with more to forgive myself for. Just then, you taught about 2-part forgiveness. Perfect timing.~ Rev. Amy Aspell

"To say that I strongly recommend this class is a huge understatement.  I think anyone who wishes to be happier, lighter, more peaceful, with more fulfilling relationships MUST take this class.   Though it is not easy to embrace and follow the suggestions and practices introduced, as I began, gently, I saw very quickly the freedom in my heart and mind, the easing of many now seemingly groundless concerns.   I will absolutely continue the work, and look forward to taking this course again - along with other courses that complement this one”. ~ Nettie

Each session, I was paired with ministers I had not yet met and then with ministers I have studied with and served with and yet never knew so deeply, personally, and intimately.
From Class 1, I experienced mutual trust that opened me to share with others as deeply as they shared with me. We laughed, we cried, and we felt the holiness of our learning. Safety and prayer are here in this course. Shared insights that are life-giving are here in this course. This experience, for me, is the beginning of a deeper understanding of how to live into forgiveness. I will take this course again with curiosity and a commitment to forgive, let go, and let Love live me. ~ Rev. Maureen Ross

Thank you, Rev Michelle, for teaching this class. I so appreciate how gentle and supportive you were through this process. I am very grateful to have participated in this class, it helped me through a difficult transition with my family of origin. Life is shifting for the better. ~ Rev. Tamara Rossander

I have been in a 12-step program for 44 years. The course greatly supplemented what I have been working on. I really can stop myself from judging. Also, I am a Marriage and Family therapist. This course is very useful for my clients.~ Patricia Kennedy, Marriage and Family Therapist
