Comments from participants in this course series -
Personally, I felt refreshed and also inspired. Professionally, I learned tools to improve my virtual classes.
Already putting to use what I have learned. Great sharing of tips, tools, techniques and equipment.
I feel more confident I could provide a class on Zoom and that it could look and function in a professional way. I also like that you showed us how to handle some of the hiccups that can occur with Zoom/virtual classes!
I have been wanting to do online SoulCollage classes and feeling unsure about how to manage the process..... I gained sufficient knowledge to be able to improvise for my environment.
You definitely expanded my way of thinking and presented such a great variety of themes and ideas that can be used for a workshop. I fear before these sessions I might have been terribly boring. Now I feel excited to try all your suggestions...
