host a workshop or class

If you'd like me to come lead a workshop or class in your area, here's what to do:

  1. Get commitments from six people or more who want to participate. (Three for technical classes.)
  2. Contact me and we'll find a date.
  3. Find a space to host the workshop. Churches are a good and free choice - other options might be an office conference room, yoga studio or large room in a private home. Good acoustics a plus. Finding the space and covering any associated costs are the responsibility of the host.
  4. I will work with you to market the workshop and will set up online registrations. Workshops may be up to 40 people as long as it's comfortable in the space.
  5. In thanks for your help, you participate for free!
