Would you like to renew your energy, enthusiasm and vision? The chief dynamics of these days are: (i) storytelling, (ii) personal reflection, (iii) sharing in pairs and small groups. Our two-day live-in workshop is approved for accreditation to teach in a Cath. School – Policy 1.6 of the Cath. Ed. Comm. of Vic. (Suggested donation $360)
