Despite our advancing civilisation, we are still in a social wilderness. Fear is the predominant emotion, and anger and conflict are common aspects of our lives that fill the daily news. Despite the many years of education we go through, few of us are ever taught the simple skills of how to relate. We grow up in families and socialise in communities and the assumption is we will learn all we need to from those we relate to and mix with. Unfortunately many of those relationships are dysfunctional and teach us destructive relationship habits. We believe that by understanding ourselves and how we relate to others we can grow into wholeness. Through working with a wide range of target groups from adolescents to the elderly, from singles to couples, from churches to prisons, we hope that more effective relating skills will spread like yeast through our communities and restore human relationship to what it was intended for - to bring meaning, growth and joy to our daily existence.
