I am a recovery coach and forgiveness counselor, and I’ve worked with many addicts in my practice. I am also a peacemaker, teacher and poet, committed to giving something of value to our planet during the short time I am here. In Hebrew, this is the practice of Tikun Olam, the healing and repair of the world. With you, I want to explore: 

• ​How can you heal and repair your world? 
• How can you heal beyond physical abstinence of substances and behaviors? 
• How can you directly experience forgiveness and peace? 
• What practices and tools do you need to be free and happy in a new life?

When I look around the world, I see that almost everyone suffers from an addiction of some kind unless she, he, or they are truly enlightened. Just about every person on the planet has some pain to heal. Knowing this, we can relax into the immensity of our human tribe and know we are not alone.

In the lessons of this course, we’ll explore the path of forgiveness and learn how it can help us heal. We’ll take a look at what addiction is, where it comes from and its many characteristics, including both obvious and subtle-yet-destructive habits of mind.
