What participants in Dr. Dincalci's forgiveness workshops say:

After a one day  - five hour forgiveness workshop:
The workshop was very positive and enlightening. The most significant part was understanding the link between our day-to-day frustrations and the Divine Intervention to help us find peace and forgiveness. The workshop allowed me to open my heart and examine issues of long standing difficulty and then release the issues with a sense of peace. This was my goal. C.O. -California 

The workshop gave me some deep insights and was very helpful to me. The forgiveness process is one I can use in my own life on an ongoing basis. The workshop was well received. Jim's wisdom and gentle strength are powerful medicine. M.T. - California 

A week after a month-long class of  two hours a week:
I sincerely wanted to say Mahalo (thank you) most earnestly as (Un)Forgiveness is what has had me imprisoned. ...At work, in my home, with my family and loved ones ... this one trait has always fouled them. I just want you to take it to heart what a transformative change this is bringing into my inner and outer life. ... I'll most certainly be keeping you in my prayers for every blessing and bestowal to be yours. Words fail me in my appreciation of this gateway you have opened for me. Fond greetings, R -Hawaii

One month after a 5 hour "Basic- How to Forgive" workshop:
Soon after the workshop I had an opportunity to put the knowledge I had gained to practical use...and how it has had an immediate and profound effect on my life. 

My wife and I filed for divorce in July 1996.  The separation was not amicable. Early on it was very contentious and eventually evolved into a cold war with the divorce still not finalized.  The past four years have been filled with anger and resentment, as I blamed my ex for my personal situation.  Since we rarely spoke to each other I was at a loss as to how to end the stalemate and finalize the divorce.

When I was first invited to attend the Forgiveness Workshop I was skeptical.  I was not interested in reconciliation and getting back together with her.  I thought this is what the workshop was about, but I was assured it wasn’t.

I had spoken with her just prior to attending the workshop.  We agreed to meet the following week to discuss our situation.  At that time I had no idea how any kind of settlement could be reached.  I envisioned bringing piles of documentation to back up my claims and refute hers. 

When I attended the workshop I had my situation in mind.  Through instructor-led discussion and group participation I was able to apply this newfound knowledge to my situation.  By the end of the workshop I had felt the shift.  I was able to let go of the anger and I saw my ex in a whole new perspective.  I felt like a burden had been lifted from my shoulders and I hadn't yet met with her. 

A week after the workshop we met for lunch.  I brought no documentation with me and she left hers in the car.  With genuine concern and interest we talked for three hours about our children, our work, our current relationships, and about life.  We were able to openly discuss how we could settle our divorce and remain friends.  Our meeting ended with tears of joy and hugs.  Without any admission of right or wrong, without any apologies, without her attending the workshop nor her knowing that I attended, our stalemate ended and we have become friends.  The Forgiveness Workshop showed me how to look within myself and make the change.  It's a wonderful feeling.
