Taking action – how to save minutes and save a life

This 2 – 21/2 hour workshop is designed to meet your needs. The instructors teach in one of 18 languages, and are trained to adapt the content to suit the group so what you learn will be of practical value in your life today.
Workshops are conducted at your meeting place and the volunteer instructors will try as much as possible to fit your schedule.
