Alive for Now: Exploring Regret

Part of me doesn’t actually believe in regret, because growth and wisdom may not be possible without reflecting on those things we would choose to do differently with time. It seems to be in life’s nature to look back at things we did last year or last week or a minute ago with the potential to be perplexed by our own actions. The great challenge for many of us is to reconcile the fact that it is not possible to go back in time to change what’s been done; to say something different, to prevent the accident, to eat better, to prevent the cancer, to avoid that relationship. Reconciling that can be particularly difficult in regards to serious tragedies. Part of the beauty and richness of life is what can come next; the willingness to have the difficult conversations, to say sorry, to recognize our imperfect behavior, to forgive others and ourselves, to surrender to what happens in life even if we can’t make sense of it. In my opinion, it behooves us to attempt to do so before our time left is short. (< an excerpt from my book, Alive for Now)

This workshop is offered as a drop-in or at a discounted rate as part of my Alive for Now Weekly Series

We will reflect on the above questions regarding regret together as it relates to our lives. We will walk away with the option to apply this to our life for the week following the workshop, entering the next workshop by sharing our experience with it! My hope is to have a solid base of people sign up for all four sessions (discount link here) to allow for such continuity.
