MASANASHI GROUPS: Women Traveling far

Empowering the female experience by organizing tours and creating encounters with women from all around the world, is Masanashi groups, main goal. Learning about the cultures of the countries we go to, and trying to understand the feminine reality in these countries, is our highest interest.
The experience of globally meeting women from all walks of life, from diverse occupations and classes, in an open and direct dialogue, will expand the spectrum of possibilities, will deepen the internal understanding of each participant, thus enabling her to expose and empower her own strengths.
The tours leaving for India, Japan, Bulgaria and Jordan, involve distancing the familiar daily reality for about one – two weeks of freedom and relaxation, creating a recess that allows introspection and a re-examination of desires, hidden dreams, wishes and life values. This emotional challenge allows women to dare and allocate themselves resources, as well as to overcome the barriers of foreignness and coping with unfamiliar space, which strengthens each woman's acknowledgement of their own ability.
The tours are also focusing on interests associated with womanhood: couples and marriage in local folklore and mythology, woman's status and her place in the society, arts in a wide spectrum: dance, music, poetry, painting , etc., fashion and its uses in various cultures, the meaning of makeup as a status symbol, jewelry, local foods, movies, etc.
The groups leaving on the tour are formed during a process that includes several unique preparatory workshops and meetings, that are hosted by professionals specializing in group therapy, art and local folklore of the target destination.
