The International Institute for Radical Forgiveness and Leadership (IIRFL) has been borne out of the Institute for Radical Forgiveness, which was developed by Colin Tipping in 1997. In 2018, Colin chosen Godfrey O’Flaherty to be the Custodian and owner of the Radical Forgiveness work. Godfrey has bought all the Radical Forgiveness Intellectual Property, as well as the business of Radical Forgiveness, as a Global Enterprise from Collin Tipping.

Our Mission

The Institute’s mission is to raise consciousness through expanding forgiveness across the globe. The IIRFL is the official international body which will govern all the work of Radical Forgiveness, globally.

IIRFL Around the World

Radical Forgiveness has been translated into 9 languages across 51 countries. The IIRFL accredit and register coaches across the globe, to add to its already thriving body of coaches and students.

Additionally, IIRFL will continue to expand its global reach, as it recently set up the Africa Institute Affiliate for IIRFL. The Africa Institute will work throughout the continent in the field of forgiveness and as a bridge-building institution for individuals, organizations and communities.

The Future

Training and Development

Under the direction of Godfrey O’Flaherty, we are establishing a Centre for Research, to focus on coaching research about the impact of forgiveness and healing of the body, mind and soul. The Institute is in the process of refreshing our current Radical Forgiveness Coaching and developing other future programs, including:

revamping the existing Radical Forgiveness Master Coaching program;
developing an MSc program in transpersonal psychology, based on the Radical Forgiveness body of knowledge;
creating a Master of Art (MA) in Radical Forgiveness Coaching, which will be a step up from our Master Coaching Program; and
intending to develop Doctoral programs in those two fields in the future

The Colin Tipping Foundation

The IIRFL will house the Colin Tipping Foundation, in loving memory of Colin and his incredible work. This foundation will be a philanthropic organization, managed on behalf of funders. It aims to create projects and programs run under the Radical Forgiveness banner that will facilitate emotional healing around the world. Using the Radical Forgiveness methodologies, projects will include developing youth leaders, addressing gender base discrimination and guiding communities globally on dealing with social challenges. (Using the Radical Forgiveness technology, example projects include developing youth leaders, empowering woman and dealing with social challenges faced by communities around the world.)

Education

IIRFL seeks to play a more active role in the education space. We aim to equip the youth globally, especially from disadvantageous communities to deal effectively with the challenges these communities face. With this aim in mind we strive to contribute constructively to the emotional wellbeing of young learners, throughout the world. The Colin Tipping philanthropy foundation will fund these international systemic forgiveness projects. The mission of the Colin Tipping Foundation is to facilitate emotional wellbeing, living with awareness and resilience which will enable learners to embrace, advance and develop their full human potential.

Leadership Development

Finally, leadership development is also at the heart of the Institute’s future focus. With the IIRFL, Godfrey seeks to use his passion and experience in leadership development, by creating programs that will help leaders in communities, organizations and all walks of life to rise above their own egos and in so doing being released from their shadow that derails them from their purpose. In this way, the IIRFL aims to bring reconciliation and promote healing through Radical Forgiveness programs.

The International Institute for Radical Forgiveness and Leadership looks forward to partnering with you on this personal growth and development journey

Module 5 – How Awake Are You? Assignment 1

My Awakening Experience

As we have already said, we are quite certain you would not be doing this course if you were not either at the beginning point of the awakening, having just experienced some kind of breakdown in your life, or you’re quite a way into it. It might be interesting, however, to make a stab at estimating how far into the Awakening process that you might actually be at this time in your life.

So, respond to the questions and be honest in your assessment. It is not a matter of being more or less advanced than anyone else. Everyone is where they need to be. Any attachment to being in a particular position is simply Ego.

Bear in mind, too, that though the Soul’s Journey timeline suggests that the Awakening process is a linear process, the reality is likely to be a lot more complicated than that. We imagine it being a spiral process in which you keep going in and out of being awake. You’ll be asked to use a larger piece of paper or even a whiteboard to construct a timeline for yourself, plotting all your ‘stories’ along the timeline that occurred prior to your awakening, as well as those during the awakening, and beyond. Show how the stories prior to the awakening last a lot longer and have a lot more pain and suffering attached to them, while those afterward are short-lived and have very little suffering attached to them because they are quickly reframed.

This assessment requires you to complete the following exercises:
