– Thirty years ago, founders Harville & Hellen Hendrix dreamed about how Imago Theory and Practice would impact the world. Today, Imago Africa is a vibrant and diverse Professional Community where members enjoy a safe space to learn, grow and practice personal and professional development. Furthermore, Imago Africa is a space conducive to providing Clinicians and Facilitators opportunities that is empowering, encouraging and connecting. The collective passion of our members is what makes a difference.<\/p>\n
It is our vision that as we as an organization learn more about this rainbow nation, we can facilitate more trained professionals to do the work and ignite the Imago flame though out the whole of Africa. (I might come up with something else if I have more time to think \u2013 perhaps we can brainstorm together as to what the elements of a good message from a Chairperson need to consist of.)<\/p>\n
