We recently reminisced about the amazing time we had teaching you last summer and decided to bring back a one-time-only virtual workshop day on Saturday, August 14! We are excited to be back together (in person) for this special occasion!
We’ll be walking you through each technique step by step, giving you exercises you can practice at home and answering your questions live. We’ll also leave you with a PDF workbook, a private curated playlist, and a special surprise that will be emailed to you after our session.
There will be a live Q&A for each topic in the curriculum, and we will spend time answering your questions regarding each topic!
All ticket holders are invited to an end-of-the-day Q&A and virtual jam session as well!
