Understanding and applying Facilitation within an Aboriginal Perspective

A practical, hands on workshop which looks at various participatory practices which have an Indigenous context and useful in our modern facilitation world

We currently live in a time of dramatic changes not only within our fast evolving political and technological world but we are witnessing vast environmental changes.

People are awakening and realising that ancient processes does not necessarily mean out dated technology but a sustainable foundation which may hold the answers to many of today’s modern issues.
