Dates
Choose 1 – 7 dates. Pick any combination of Sundays and Thursdays. This is not a sequential workshop, so it doesn’t matter when you start.
Exact dates TBD
In-person requirements:
-
- Proof of vaccination and at least one booster.
- Willingness to sign a form saying you are symptom-free, and a waiver recognizing you are taking a risk by meeting in a group. Masks are worn in the hallways and bathrooms of The Resiliency Center, but not in the workshop space. Clean air circulation and sanitization occur continuously.
Zoom tech requirements:
-
- Although we write by hand in an old-fashioned notebook, you will need a computer or laptop with a video camera and audio so that you can be seen and heard. You’ll also need to be in a private space or use headphones/earbuds so that when people read aloud, people in your household won’t be able to hear.
- Download Zoom from Zoom.us — it’s free for you.
