Weekend Workshop Schedule

We plan to offer "live" weekend workshops via Zoom--with in-person dates in returning in 2023! 

Weekends take place Friday, Saturday, and most of the day on Sunday.
The enrollment is limited to no more than 20 people per weekend. It’s a great opportunity to learn intensely, be exposed to new ideas, and to network with fellow travelers on the path. The comment most often made on evaluations is, “I learned so much!”

Upcoming Weekend Workshop Dates are as follows, with most workshops being held live via Zoom.

Theory and Practice of Sex Therapy and Physical Illness, Mental Illness, and Disabilities

December 2-4, 2022 (VIRTUAL via Zoom)
