“Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda” – Managing Regrets and Disappointments with Grace, Forgiveness, and Empathy
Who among us has not regretted something that we said or did? Who among us experienced disappointment in ourselves when we failed to speak up or take action? These responses are truly human, but – if not managed well – can disturb our inner peace and our ability to live life to the fullest. This two hour session will look at “woulda, coulda, shoulda” self-talk and how to escape their stranglehold.
Our evening mini-retreat will include several presentations, a group discussion, and time for personal reflection/prayer.
