If you’d prefer not to be included, just let your host know. Registration & Cancellation Policy Your registration reserves one of a limited number of seats in this specific two-session Beginner Foundations Series. Please be sure you are available for both dates before registering. Registration is nonrefundable. If your plans change, you may request a transfer to another Beginner Foundations Series at least 7 days before the first session, subject to availability. Requests made within 7 days of the first session cannot be transferred. Because Beginner Foundations is a sequential two-session series, missed sessions cannot be made up or transferred.
