We have decided to offer a limited number of study tours to interested family members and their allies who would like a deeper learning experience with the families of Deohaeko and those who have helped to shape this unique family group. We’ve settled on a for-fee basis to replace the conference and workshop fees that others often charge, in the belief that what we have to offer – a taste of the Deohaeko experience with its founders – is at least as useful as the kinds of information and experiences offered in traditional conference settings.
