The Forgiveness Project

We are very excited that we are beginning to receive enquiries for 2022 for hiring The F Word and we very much hope that next year we will see a return to normal events. In the meantime we continue to explore how we heal, restore and re-humanise in other spaces and we are delighted to announce the launch of our second season of The F Word Podcast. 

Hosted again by our Founder, Marina Cantacuzino, season two continues the deep dive into even deeper conversations with our storytellers – exploring the complex, messy, gripping subject of forgiveness.

We have ten new episodes to share with you over the coming months and will be releasing a new episode every fortnight so do follow us on whatever platform you listen to your podcasts on.

With podcasts growing increasingly popular, we were excited to introduce the stories to a whole new audience. The series continues to receive an average of 34 downloads a day with listeners from 90 countries (as of 12 November 2021) and the reviews show how it has moved people to consider their own lives:

• ‘This podcast has engaged, challenged, and moved me. Above all, it has motivated me to think considerately about my own actions and prejudices.’

• 'Listening to these podcasts with their gentle and sensitive, yet direct questions and the brave and powerful responses inspires me to strive to be a better person in all I do. The exploration of forgiveness as a possibility could not be more relevant to these challenging times.'

The way stories are often told in the media can re-traumatise and divide; we support our storytellers to explore the telling in ways that encourage healing and reconciliation – we call this restorative storytelling.

Restorative narratives show how people and communities are learning to rebuild and recover after incidents of harm. In a society where the media focuses on tragedy and devastation, The Forgiveness Project aims to redress the balance by sharing stories with an emphasis on recovery and restoration.
