JAFARECWe’re hosting a 30-hour workshop at Ten-Sho-An this coming Saturday and Sunday.
30-hour De-Violence Workshop
Domestic violence, moral harassment, abuse, etc., can happen in any family. In spite of the fact that the social situation has become so difficult to live in, there are no systems or facilities to support the difficulties of such families. The only support available is separation, penalties, and family dissolution.
JAFAREC is the only support organization that has been providing restorative support to families for many years. In order to enhance this support, JAFAREC renovated an old private house in Nantan City, a quiet retreat in Kyoto, and opened Ten-Sho-An, a facility with a large garden, a farm, a hall with a stove and a piano, and a mountain forest that can be used for various types of therapy.
This time, we will hold an overnight workshop for people in remote areas who are not able to attend workshops on a regular basis. This will be an opportunity for those who have problems but tend to isolate themselves without being able to connect with support organizations to share a lot of time and participate in the workshop. Please feel free to join us.
Open for:
- Anyone suffering from their own mental problems or family relationships
- Anyone struggling with family violence (perpetrator or victim)
- Anyone practicing interpersonal support
- Anyone interested in interpersonal support
- There is no restriction on gender or age.
