The course has a maximum capacity of 16 participants. To secure your spot, kindly reserve your space by purchasing a “ticket” below. Beginning January 1, 2024, we will promptly send you an invoice for the course fee through our separate invoicing system. Please note that your reservation will be confirmed upon receipt of payment.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Because of a delay in responses, we’ve had to reschedule the last class. Last year, we faced a similar issue where many waited until the last moment to register. To effectively plan, we need to set a registration deadline. Hence, the deadline for this class is June 30th. If we don’t reach the minimum of 8 students by this date, we’ll unfortunately have to cancel the class.
