Dru Kids & Teens Online Teacher Training 2020
What a interesting time we're in at the moment, a time for us to stop and reflect, to wonder, dream and re-set! It's a time for humanity to awaken to the possibilities of new beginnings and new futures.
The Dru Kids & Teens course (DKT) is going ahead this year, but it too has needed to reset and find creative ways to move forward. It's now being delivered online so you can receive these wonder-filled teachings no matter where you live in Australasia!
