This course is intentionally designed as a deep-dive study so that students can better understand, practice, and integrate the lessons and methods taught in Shoden. The cohort is limited to no more than 6 students— small in size to allow for students’ comfort, more meaningful connections, and easier access to information through discussions, practice, etc. We meet twice per week: in person on Sundays in West Salem, and on Zoom Thursday nights for a 1-hour study support and bonus material. Because of limited space, prospective students are encouraged to register early to secure their spot. A $100 deposit reserves your place in class, and payment plan options are available to registrants until August 15th.
