“The work of racial integration is never going to be complete without the work of gender reconciliation.”
Rev. Mpho Tutu, Executive Director of the Desmond & Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation
Have you ever
- Longed for a deeper, more intimate connection with your partners, family members, fellow students, or colleagues?
- Wished you could walk the streets at night, but felt unsafe because you are a woman? Or a man?
- Dreamed of world of true equality respect, and harmony between men and women?
If you answered YES, to any of these, you are like many of us who are inspired to transform relations between men & women in society via Gender Equity and Reconciliation.
Gender Equity and Reconciliation creates a rare forum that builds trust and compassionate communication through a skillful combination of interactive exercises, contemplative practices, and group process. Participants plumb the depths of their own experiences and move beyond habitual ways of relating to discover new pathways of healing, mutual respect, authenticity,
and joyous relations.
The future of humanity will be decided not by relations by relations between nations,
but by relations between men and women.
– D.H. Lawrence
All women and men are welcome – whatever your faith, ethnic & cultural background, sexual orientation.
