Testimonials


“Exceptional educators…The workshop was really well conceived…practical and highly applicable to our docents and to our space. Both instructors managed to balance warmth and professionalism, which is quite tricky but highly important, especially with our crowd, and putting people at ease and creating an atmosphere of trust. What was so impressive for all of us was their high level of expertise, which they used as a tool to teach and assist and not to show off their wealth of knowledge.”
