Welcome To The “Improvisation For Life” Certification Training Weekend

October 10th -12th, 2020!

The training weekend is an invaluable part of the program. This work attracts very special people, and connecting with everyone in person deepens the experience, creating enriching bonds and developing a supportive and creative network. And of course with Katie it’s fun! Lots of opportunity to practice, laugh and play.
