It is a wonderful resource for people working with children in areas such as therapy, teaching, counseling, parents, daycare or anyone in the medical or mental health profession.
The workshop will demonstrate how to work with children in different cultures around the world.
We believe that the children have the qualities of trust, empathy, acceptance and authenticity from the time that they are born. With nurturing and support they can bring these qualities out and express and keep them as they grow. When children can express these qualities they have high self-confidence and are resilient. Our work focuses on the deep respect for a child and the child’s wisdom.
