Can’t attend live? Check out the recordings.

You can buy a Recorded Class Season Pass of the Fundamentals classes, or of the Mastering classes. That gives you the ability to stream the most recent recordings of each class anytime you want on your desktop, laptop, tablet, phone, or Internet-connected fridge.

Whew! That’s about enough scheduling for a while. I do have plans to bring out two more training classes in 2022, but I’m not quite ready to announce those yet. And as always, your Season Passes include access to any new classes that I bring out during your subscription. (I don’t plan to do any in-person classes during 2021 or 2022.)

See you in class!
