Online workshops is our offer for anyone who can’t or needs not take part in our longer workshops, enabling participants to learn all the intricacies of the technique of choice but would rather focus on one of its aspects (or on the very beginnings) without the need to travel to Gdynia.
All the workshops take between 4 and 6 hours and are taught as a video conference which enables free communication with the instructor and other participants as well as a free exchange of opinions.
