“Forgiveness is a transformative act that can bring healing, reconciliation, and a renewed sense of connection among individuals and within families.”
At The Well
Can we still forgive?
Some pain might not be possible to forgive. Some rifts take longer than a month to heal and create justice. That’s natural. This month of Elul allows us to open up a space for reconciliation — in the relationships where repair is possible.
Set aside the idea that you should forgive right away. Focus on what feels possible for you now. The month of Elul will be here to hold you year after year.
“Your information is so beautifully prepared, guides us gently, and opens us to bringing the wisdom of this season into our daily life.”
—Pamela, Season of the Heart participant

At The Well’s forgiveness model comes from a story about how the ancient King David responded when the Jewish community faced catastrophe. (If you want to dive into the source text, it’s Midrash Zuta in Tanna D’Vei Eliyahu Zuta p. 110.) The model begins with an often overlooked step that modern research has shown to be vital for shame resilience and self-compassion.

We strongly recommend having professional support available to hold space for you as you address any traumatic memories. That level of support is not available within the Season of the Heart experience. Please use our resources to focus your attention on a less intense situation.
If you are having trouble enjoying things you once did, or you are having thoughts of self-harm, please seek support. In the U.S., you can dial 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. -
You know yourself best. If you feel strong resistance, that could be a sign that now isn't the time to explore forgiveness. You are the only one who can decide whether or when you're ready to find a new perspective on what happened — and we respect your timeline!
On the other hand, if you're curious about forgiveness but aren't sure you can "get there," that's another story entirely. We believe that forgiveness is an ongoing journey. Be gentle with yourself in your exploration of forgiveness, and see what unfolds. -
