Unlocking Eden’s Treasure

Unlocking Eden’s Treasure: Empowering Parents and Forming Our Children in Today’s Era of Sexual Confusion

(2.5 Hours)

Who are we? What are we destined for? Why are we made male and female? Why do we have sexual desire? What is God’s plan for sex from the beginning? How do we communicate this to our children in age-appropriate ways, amidst the confusion that exists today?

Come and join us as we seek to form our children in the area of sexuality education through the lens of the Theology of the Body (TOB).

Participants at this workshop will be given an overview of the TOB. They will also be equipped with relevant skills and resources to share it with our children in various age groups up to 16 years of age, as we endeavour to help our children discover truth, happiness and flourish in accordance with God’s wonderful plan for human love and sexuality.
