Apology Work is a term coined by Elana Felice Stanger, L.C.S.W. in 2016 to bring about the healing of the planet through massive numbers of people apologizing to each other for the role they have played in the perpetuation of social oppression and their commitment to discontinue playing that role in exchange for the discovery of a new identity that will lead to compassion, understanding, justice and peace. Everyone on earth is encouraged to try out a new way of being that is more truly aligned with what it means to be a fragile yet strong human who is worthy of love and compassion, and less in cahoots with a system of aggression and injustice. Through each individual’s apology, we move one step closer to liberation for the planet.
