great." |
| "Thank you for this course. It has been very informative and will
be very useful. The only thing I can think of is that some video might aid
in learning some of the techniques, although I found Connie's demonstrations
and observations of our own practicing to be very helpful. This was a very
intense course. Thank you to everyone responsible for putting this
workshop on." |
