DESCRIPTION:April 23-25, 2023 at Deer Park Institute\n\nThe 3-day workshop content will cover power analysis, gender and sexuality analysis, marginalisation, and structural inequality.

Thus, it demands active participation. We every participant to fully participate in every session from day 1 to day 3rd.\n\nThis methodology will help participants learn and gain wisdom through 5 channels: the head (the analysis), the heart (emotions and feelings) the hands ( skills practice), the body, and the spirituality.
