This is an adult course, but teens are welcome to participate as well. Children under 13 may accompany an adult taking the course or be accompanied by an adult.

COST: BY DONATION (students have been paying anywhere from $5 – $50 per class which comes out to $20-$200 for the whole course.) Please pay what matches your financial means and needs, even if you cannot afford to pay.

DATES: We will meet Mondays April 4, 11, 18, 25 AND May 9, 16, 23 (WE WILL SKIP MEMORIAL DAY) 5-7pm Pacific Time, 

**NOTE – This same class will be running both months of April and May. You can choose to sign up for either month or both – all 8 weeks. PLEASE ADJUST YOUR PAYMENT ACCORDINGLY. You will receive all 8 classes (live and recorded) if you sign up for April, you get to choose when you want to join us. 

Each class will be recorded that day and the link to view it will be sent along with the notes from the class each week. Recorded classes are only available to those who register for the class so we can keep a safe and nurturing space for those to express themselves.
