Conflict is part of life. How do you solve it?

Pain is the Motivator to forgive Guest: Marina Cantacuzino

My guest Marina Cantacuzino is the Founder of The Forgiveness Project, an award-winning journalist, peace activist and podcaster of ‘The F Word Podcast’. Marina talks about how her charity ‘The Forgiveness Project’ was established in response to the war in Iraq and how it evolved. She also describes how to cope with pain and trauma by exploring forgiveness, how healing works, some of the work she has done with inmates in prisons and what led her to do her podcast ‘the F Word’.

She emphasises the power of storytelling in this episode and believes sharing real stories of transformation reaches across rifts. She mentions the book ‘South of Forgiveness’: A True Story of Rape and Responsibility by Elva Thordis – Tom Stranger, an unprecedented collaboration between survivor and perpetrator in our talk.
