Classes and Workshops 2012




After much thought, I've decided to compile a list of the various subjects that I've taught--many while on tour around the country.  Hopefully this will help you decide if you'd like to take a class, or to host a class, wherever you might be.

Please note--this is just a LISTING of classes and workshops for the 2012 tour so far.
***CROSSED OUT ITEMS on the schedule means we have COMPLETED these classes!*
