Workshop Program

ONE- AND TWO-DAY CLASSES FROM JUNE – NOVEMBER

The Workshop Program includes one and two-day workshops from June through mid-November. These workshops appeal to a broad audience by providing shorter length classes during the Summer Program season for those who cannot come for an entire week or who want a “taste” of what The Clearing is like before deciding to take a week-long class.
