Class Details:
Methods: In-person and distance learning over the phone.
Where: In-person classes are in the Wedgwood area of northeast Seattle. Distance learning is wherever you find it convenient to relax and talk over the phone. You just need a room that is private, quiet, and large enough to walk five or six steps. (And you will also need a headset or speaker phone that allows you to listen and participate hands-free.)
When: Classes in Seattle are Thursdays evenings from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. Distance learning classes are Wednesday mornings from 10:30 – noon Pacific Time. Please contact me for information about when the next classes will be starting. We meet for an hour and a half, once a week for six weeks.
Class size: Maximum of 8.
Fee: See my Fees and Payments page.
