This is a grab bag of workshops that are not easily categorized. From the quirky, to the outré, to the rift between space and time–there’s something in here for everyone. These workshops tend to turn your technical skills on end, using a Zen mind/beginner’s mind approach. It’s time to turn things upside-down, and do a one-eighty on the way you look at the world.
