This 6-hour experience is held in-store once or twice a month on Sundays. Our small group size allows the instructor to personalize the class to your needs and questions. Due to the amount of material covered in this class, we ask that you arrive on time as class may begin without attendees who arrive late. Handouts and materials are provided. Please bring snacks, water (we provide a filtered water dispenser for refills), and anything else to stay comfortable for a full and FUN day of class! The class will take a one-hour break for lunch halfway through the day. Several dining options are within walkable distance of our store. Private in-home and Zoom classes are available upon request.
