~ The Learning Circle  ~

"If you truly want something, first you must give it away."

This old saying, as it turns out, is particularly apt when what one truly wants is knowledge. One of the things that we most enjoy doing is offering classes, because we always find that we learn so much ourselves in the process! Our classes and workshops are taught in a casual, supportive atmosphere that encourages questions and suggestions from all participants, with the result that the most unusual -- and useful -- kernels of wisdom turn up in the most unexpected quarters.

We offer the following slate of classes and workshops for your consideration, and we hope that you'll come out and join us for a positive -- and fun -- learning experience!

Registrations are accepted on a first come, first served basis, and our classes
are limited in size so that you can be assured of lots of personal attention.
Please register early.
