Winter Workshop Policy
To ensure the safety and accessibility of our workshops, we will not schedule in-person sessions between December and March. Winter weather conditions during this period can lead to hazardous travel, which may impact both participant attendance and trainer availability. During these months, we encourage virtual workshops as an effective alternative, allowing uninterrupted training and support regardless of weather challenges.
