The Ghost, the Door that Slammed, and the Spirit Named “Forgiveness”

A full-day creative arts workshop at Head&Heart Expression Room

Once upon a time, someone vanished without a word.
Another slammed a door — hard — and never looked back.
And somewhere in the echo of that silence, something stirred.
Whatever needed to be finished wasn’t quite finalized. Not yet.

This workshop is for anyone who has ghosted, been ghosted, who has ever slammed a door — or stood staring at one that shut in their face and will never open again.

Using expressive arts — image, writing, story,movement and metaphor — we’ll explore rupture, retreat, protection, and the often hidden cost of disappearing… or being disappeared.

We’ll meet the Ghost. We’ll examine the Door — maybe even peek through it.
And perhaps, when we’re ready, we’ll encounter the quiet, steady presence of Forgiveness — not as a demand, but as a possibility.

Forgiveness is a deeply misunderstood Spirit.
It’s often mistaken for weakness — for giving in, excusing harm, or letting someone off the hook.
But that’s not what healthy forgiveness is, and it’s not what it asks of us.

Together, we’ll explore our individual and personalized versions of this truth:

Forgiveness doesn’t mean going back.
It might mean choosing not to cause more pain or confusion when we leave.
It might mean learning to walk away with kindness, clarity, and care.
It might mean taking a long, honest look at how we’ve been setting — or avoiding — boundaries.
It might mean finally gaining full freedom.

No art experience is needed. Just a willingness to show up, as you are, and begin.
