To ensure the best instruction possible, this workshop will have a maximum of 10 participants.
The 2011 workshop was among the most productive workshops we have ever had the pleasure of hosting. Our guide is second to none, our accomadations and meals the best available. This was a glitch free trip from start to finish. All participants stated the workshop exceeded every expectation and I am greatly looking forward to returning in 2012.
