This class is fun, laid-back, and offers a positive, inclusive experience. We will incorporate games, group activities, and real-world scenarios as much as possible. We will only put you on the spot if you demonstrate in front of the class (unless you want to), or speak in front of crowds. If that and the promise of terrible Dad jokes appeal to you, you have found the place to sign up.
We want to acknowledge that the land on which we gather (Known as Hamilton) is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabeg.
