    We also need you to complete the online  annual registration form for class participation in any of our classes or healing art sessions. If you have a studio access pass you have already completed this form.

    This form will only need to be completed once for the current fiscal year (July 1-June 30) and for subsequent sessions just register on the event calendar or on the link in this email.  But I urge you to please register so I do not need volunteers to enter you.  Registration will eliminate a sign in sheet.

    If you have any questions or have trouble getting registered, or just want to confirm you are, you can email me by reply email, or phone the studio at 970-462-3126, or phone or text my cell at 970-424-2312. Text works best since my phone does not always ring and I do not carry it around.

    If you register on here and I do not yet have your online form I'll be in touch.
