A niche area of training that is not addressed in regular training programs. I wasn't sure what to expect and was granted a plethora of artists/instructors deep in their own practice and teaching from that place with humility, excitement, expert knowledge and experience. A wonderful program I didn’t know I needed as a reminder, refresher, and builder of new skills, I will bring to my work going forward.
