4/6 Harriet Lerner/Jacqueline Lewis “The Power of Apology”

Does a simple apology matter? What is required for healing when the hurt we’ve inflicted (or received) is far from simple? Is forgiveness the only path to peace of mind? What drives both the non-apologizer and the over-apologizer? The Hebrew and Christian scriptures hold admonitions to forgive, to lay down enmity, and to reconcile with one another as part of faith?

The Women’s Therapy Centre Institute and The New School for Social Research are excited to present an evening on a crucial topic of our time: the power of apology and the complexity of forgiveness. Jacqui Lewis will speak from her perspective as pastor, and public theologian and activist and Harriet Lerner from her perspective as a psychologist and psychotherapist.  We anticipate that the different lenses through which our presenters view the apology and the subject of forgiveness will  challenge and deepen the conversation for all of us.
