This workshop is open to EVERYONE (men, women, and families). There is a nominal fee of $5/person and children (12 and under) are free. Come and enjoy the company of the sangha as we learn together!

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED so we know how many people to expect and since space is limited.

It is your involvement and participation that will make these successful!
