We want to be deeply honest with you about the upcoming workshop Healing From the Absent Father.

This heartfelt workshop will not erase the painful past. It won't change what your father did or didn't do. And it won't make the lingering grief disappear overnight.

But here is what it can do:

It can give meaningful language to a wound that may have remained hidden and unspoken for years. There is something profoundly liberating about finally being able to say out loud: this happened to me, it hurts, and I am allowed to grieve this loss.

It can help you release the heavy burden of self-blame. So many of us have quietly carried the heartbreaking belief that a father's absence was somehow our fault — that we weren't enough, lovable enough, or worthy enough of staying for. This compassionate workshop gently and courageously helps dismantle that painful lie.

It can transform how you show up in your most important relationships. When we begin to heal the emotional wounds that shaped us, we naturally begin to love differently — with greater security, deeper openness, and less fear.

It can help you reclaim the precious parts of yourself that may have been lost along the way. Not a perfect version of you. Not a version untouched by scars.
But a resilient version that knows its inherent worth, holds its personal story with tenderness, and moves forward with something that feels, perhaps for the first time in a very long time, like genuine hope.

That is where two hours of honest, supported, and healing grief work can begin.
You are deserving of that hopeful beginning.

Date: Friday, June 12, 2:00 PM–4:00 PM CST
Location: Zoom — the access link will be lovingly provided upon registration at www.PatAcklieRoth.com
Price: $27
