What happens if I miss a session?
Each session has a different topic. Missing one session does not mean that you have missed anything essential for the next session. The sessions will not be recorded to ensure that all participants can speak freely. If you were to miss a session, Kathleen will send you the material and questions we discussed.
All sessions are interactive in nature, which requires real time participation and committing to being there for the full 90 minutes. Please be mindful that dropping in later, or hopping out early can disturb the experience of other participants as well as your own.
