What if one of the greatest gifts you could give yourself—and others—is forgiveness? Join Dr. Robert Enright, a world-renowned University of Wisconsin–Madison professor and pioneer in the science of forgiveness, for an inspiring and uplifting presentation on how forgiveness can bring greater peace, hope, and healing to our lives. Drawing on decades of research and real-life experiences from around the world, Dr. Enright will share how forgiveness can strengthen relationships, ease emotional burdens, improve well-being, and even help heal divided communities. Whether you're facing a personal challenge, looking for ways to enrich your relationships, or simply curious about the power of forgiveness, you'll leave with fresh insights, practical ideas, and a deeper appreciation for how forgiveness can make a meaningful difference in your own life—and in our world.

Dr. Robert Enright holds the Aristotelian Professorship in Forgiveness Science within the Department of Educational Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Madison, is a licensed psychologist, and founder of the International Forgiveness Institute, a non- profit organization dedicated to disseminating knowledge about forgiveness and community renewal through forgiveness. He was the first to publish an empirically based journal article on the topic of person-to-person forgiveness in 1989. For his innovative research on forgiveness, he received in 2022 what the American Psychological Association calls “psychology’s highest awards,” the APF Gold Medal Award for Impact in Psychology.
