General (for all activities)
This wellbeing weekend is for all women, including trans women and non-binary people. We are particularly keen on having a multi-cultural, multi-generational space where we connect with women from a diverse range of backgrounds. We have found that these community spaces are the best for bettering society. If you have any questions about your attendance, please contact Ayisatu on 07541526295 or ayisatu@idaraya-life.org
