Each course will be offered once each year, during the months of September, October, November, January, February, March, April and May. Courses will be offered midday or early evening and will include a meal. If a course is offered midday one year, every effort will be made to offer the same course in the evening the following year, allowing participants ample opportunity to attend each course. Specific dates and times will be sent to participants after acceptance to the program.
The courses will include mostly lecture, with some small group exercises or discussions. There are no assignments associated with the course outside class attendance and participation. A detailed manual covering course information and additional supporting information will be provided.
