DESCRIPTION:This seminar will feature presentations by two of the world’s leading 
 experts on forgiveness and gratitude—Frederic Luskin and Robert 
 Emmons.\n\nDr. Luskin will teach participants the “Nine Steps to 
 Forgiveness” training he has validated through successful studies, 
 including his famed Stanford Forgiveness Projects. This research, as well 
 as others’ research, has consistently shown that forgiveness increases 
 physical vitality, optimism, hope, compassion, and self-confidence while 
 reducing anger, blood pressure, hurt, depression, and stress.\n\nDr. 
 Luskin’s presentation will combine lecture with a hands-on approach to 
 forgiveness. Participants will explore forgiveness with the goal of 
 reducing hurt and helplessness, letting go of anger and grudges, and 
 increasing their feelings of confidence and hope. They will also learn how 
 to facilitate forgiveness in others through a combination of cognitive 
 therapy and narrative approaches, intermixed with mindfulness and guided 
 imagery practices.\n\nThe seminar will also feature a brief presentation by 
 UC Davis psychologist Robert Emmons, whose groundbreaking research has 
 shown how gratitude—in many ways the foundation of forgiveness—can 
 promote health, happiness, and strong connections to others. Dr. Emmons 
 will discuss the profound benefits that come from practicing gratitude, and 
 he will highlight research-tested methods for boosting gratitude in 
 everyday life. \n\n
