I am somewhat curious about the dramatic difference in price between this and the full workshop. It's more than an order of magnitude, unless I'm either reading something very wrong or somebody slipped a zero somewhere. $140 for two days compared to $3900 for four?

Nevertheless I'm glad to see this. Hopefully it will come to Atlanta someday; if it does, I'll sign up.

Our prices are lower, because we haven't run this workshop before. When we're alpha or beta testing, we don't charge as much as for our polished, more refined material. Also, our normal workshops include six weeks of one-on-one followup with an instructor, and this session will not.

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you for the concise response.

Experimental workshops are cheaper.
