We have COVID-19 protocols in place to ensure your safety. Each venue determines the size of our groups and workshops. Please contact the facilitator of the group you are intending to attend to secure your place to allow us to keep to distancing protocols. 

 We apologise for any inconvenience but assure you that as soon as we are able to, it is our priority to resume all our groups and courses on a regular, ongoing basis.

 We appreciate your patience and wish everyone the very best
