Note on Track Intensives and Add-Ons:
Most of the Seminar offers a program format in which participants choose several classes per day to attend based on a schedule of classes running concurrently across the four tracks. On the third day of the Seminar, each track will spend a full day together in order to explore their focus area in more depth. Visit each track to learn about the intensive offered in that track.
Note: You do not have to attend the Track Intensive for the track you register for. If you would like to use this Track Intensive day as a way to explore multiple areas of interest or feel that one of the Track Intensives in another track will better suit your learning needs and goals, you are free to attend whichever one suits you best.
