  • What happens if I miss an evening session due to illness?

If given adequate notice, we will offer one class credit per course, so you will have the opportunity to join the next course so you can catch up on the content missed.  Only one credit will be issued and is at the discretion of the educators.

You can easily book and pay online via the tab above. All payments must be received 7 days before the commencement of the first course date.

  • Do I have to engage with the activities?

This course is your experience, so whilst we actively encourage you to engage to get the most out of your experience, this is not compulsory. So if you would prefer to be an observer, then this if also fine. However I am sure with our welcoming and warm personalities, you will become more familiar with us and your fellow attendee's and you'll enjoy being an active member of the group.
