However, our past is inscribed in us and the memories remain. The most significant events in our lives leave an imprint and condition the way we are and the way we act, sometimes unconsciously. They can even block us from living out our lives and fulfilling our potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The healing of memories workshop gives us an opportunity to stop and reflect, to re-read our history and review our past.
