Workshop

Date of event:

17 February 2010 - 28 March 2010

Phaphama Initiatives and the Satyana Institute are facilitating a series of groundbreaking training workshops on Gender Reconciliation.

Developed over the past 15 years by the Satyana Institute, the Gender Reconciliation process has established a proven track record for confronting and reconciling highly challenging issues between women and men in groups, communities and organisational settings – as documented in the book Divine Duality (Hohm Press, 2007) by William Keepin.

Phaphama Initiatives works towards building a nonviolent society by connecting people through life skills and conflict resolution training, language and culture learning and community tourism initiatives.

Who are these workshops for?

These workshops are for men AND women! They provides a unique forum for women and men to jointly confront the realities of gender disharmony, and engage in constructive dialogue and healing work on some of the most divisive and seemingly intractable gender issues.

The workshops are open to all those who wish to understand, address and transform gender injustice, including inequality, discrimination, violence, and disharmony, on a personal and professional level. This includes, but is not exclusive to, anyone involved in gender work, survivors of gender based violence, professionals working with survivors, and anyone interested in these issues.

What do the workshops involve?

The methodology of gender reconciliation integrates a broad range of psychological, contemplative, dialogical, transpersonal, group process, and therapeutic techniques.
These modalities are combined in a carefully designed and facilitated group forum that enables women and men to openly share and address issues rarely discussed aloud, and frequently achieve unprecedented breakthroughs in mutual understanding, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
