This sounds great but where are the classes? Is there a website to check out? Do you travel all over the USA? Are you even in the USA? To many unanswered questions.

Excellent work Jennifer, and I would be interested in learning more.

Has Jen written any books and are you aware of any simular courses in the UK or Europe.

I live in New Jersey. Hard to find CE classes in NJ or Philly area.

But, I'll keep you in mind for the future.
