HeartWork - Personal Development Training

HeartWork Is working on ourselves so we bring sound hearts to our  interaction with people especially people who are marginalized. We live  in a stratified society that tells us who is worthy of love and respect  and who is not. In HeartWork we look at the ailments of the heart,  systemic injustices, bias, and racism in society. This interactive  workshop helps participants gauge their prophetic love and measure this  to what we know about the prophetic model of love and respect for all,  especially those society tells us are undeserving of love and respect.  This training gives participants a road map to developing compassion and  bringing a sound heart to understanding race in America and an action  plan for taking on the prophetic model of love and respect in our  classrooms and organizations.
