Friends, we have two special online offerings coming up in June that we'd love to share with the wider community.

These are short, free standing weekend workshop opportunities on specialized topics of interest. "Making Friends WIth Our Brain" is a brand new offering from Tony and Kathy. "Somatic Narrative" has been offered online only once before, to a full and appreciative class.

Early Registration is still open for a few more days - sign up now!

If you know of someone who has been wanting to get started with a shorter training, share away!
