Tele-workshops
A tele-workshop takes place over the telephone. It's simple and convenient. When you sign up for the class, you will be sent an invitation to participate and a phone number to dial into for the class. When the class begins, you follow along on your pc or with the materials you will have been sent.
It is easy to participate, you can ask what you like, and wear what you want. There is nothing to be wary or afraid of, and most people find they like this way of distance learning.
To sign up please email info@trilliumtours.com , and identify the class you are interested in. After payment is received, you will receive an invitation to participate and the number to call. It really is that easy! If you prefer another date or time, please let us know.
