In conjunction with the ISKCON GBC SPT and International Devotee Care Team, Jai Nitai Dasa and his wife, Bhava Bhakti Devi Dasi, will be presenting an interactive workshop entitled, The Devotee Care Seminar, which will introduce their longer Devotee Care Course which they hope to do at Bhakti Center at a later date. 

This course looks at Embedding Care into Krishna Conscious Communities and was developed by Rasamandala Dasa in collaboration with over 40 international leaders.  The course is now being taught in India, Europe and North America.
