Mildred F's Workshop: Transforming Relationships into Spiritual Practice
It is only through getting right with god that I've been able to get right with myself and get right with you, because until I understood who I am and that I'm not just a body struggling around here to get men into my life and money and god knows what, and being unsuccessful, then getting stuff and not being okay with it anyway.
Picture yourself in Cocoa Beach, Florida, in September 2011, attending the 12th Annual SWWCF. Here, Mildred F, a former nun from Toronto with 38 years of sobriety, leads a workshop that redefines relationships as a spiritual practice. With her unique blend of wisdom and compassion, Mildred delves into how getting right with God is the cornerstone of mending our relationships with others and ourselves.
She highlights the significance of addressing flawed relationships as a source of personal distress and how overcoming self-centeredness is crucial in this journey. Mildred also explores the deep-seated impact of childhood experiences on our current relationships, likening the unconscious mind to a pond with hidden mud. Through her own story of making amends and understanding oneself, she offers a roadmap for healing and spiritual growth.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to improve their relationships and themselves through spiritual practice. Mildred's approach is not just informative but also deeply inspiring and hopeful, making it a must-listen for those on the path to recovery.
