Hero of Forgiveness Carmen Tarleton

Lye attack victim says forgiveness was 'easy,' loves her life

On June 10, 2007, Carmen Blandin Tarleton's estranged husband broke into her rural Vermont home, beat her with a baseball bat, and doused her with industrial-strength lye. Doctors called it "THE MOST HORRIFIC INJURY A HUMAN BEING COULD SUFFER."Tarleton spent the next three and a half months in a medically induced coma, and when she awoke, it was to an unimaginable reality: she was blind and permanently disfigured, with burns covering more than eighty percent of her body. Her recovery would include months of painful rehab, dozens of surgeries, and total dependence on family, friends, and strangers for physical and financial care. With so much taken away, no one could have anticipated what Tarleton would gain from her experience: an awakening. A purpose. Joy. By sharing her struggles and ultimate victory over catastrophic loss, Tarleton proves that life is a choice-and, in the process, offers a rare glimpse into the best and worst corners of the human heart.

Hero of Forgiveness  Dan Craig-Morse

As we are seeing so many nationally and internationally publicized examples of sexual abuse by men, this is a very valuable time for men to step forward to self reflect on our own complicity in this epidemic and to offer healing, humility and forgiveness towards those women who have suffered, often in silence for years, as a result of male abuse of power.  We of the Sacred Masculine, aspire to being transparent about our own pursuit for healing and to help provide opportunities for other men to join in a process of reconciliation and in our desire to move beyond a culture where violations of woman has had a long and terrible history.

Dan Craig-Morse, MFT, a therapist in Sebastopol, has worked extensively with an empathic communication process with couples and families and has provided trainings on this process for military families and child care workers around the country.  Dan has worked within the men's community to help promote our Sacred Masculinity to foster a consciousness of presence and compassion during this age of the #metoo movement. He organized a Men's Forgiveness Ritual for the women a recent Magdalene Easter Moonrise Service led by Christy Micheals.  Dan has also been involved in working with esoteric spiritual traditions to help provide guidance and ballast during these "transitional" times.
