Please note

This is a 3 full-day intensive workshop that runs for approximately 6 hours each day. Classes are from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm so be prepared to spend the day here and wear comfortable clothing. Weʻll take a break half way through where I’ll provide some refreshments, but bring anything else you might need to stay nourished throughout the day.

There are plenty of lodging options available nearby through Airbnb. But please keep in mind that the nearest town with restaurants and supermarkets is about a 30-minute drive, so it’s best to plan ahead for meals and snacks.
