Wait, how is all this free?

For the last few years, I’ve been traveling the country and working with educators. I learned that some of the programming out there is fun, some of it is educational, and very little is actionable.

This program is one of the first to be based in modern neuroscience, feel like play, and have actionable takeaways that you can use in your work immediately.

This is no cost for a couple of reasons:

  1. Selfishly, I need to test some new content alongside some old tried-and-true content.

  2. I need to capture some beautiful video of this new content in action.

  3. State College has given SO much to me, and this is a no-brainer way to contribute what I know to the local community.

FAQs

 

What if I can’t stay the whole time?

Totally fine. Leave early if you have you. You’ll still get all the information and handouts.

What should I wear?

Be casual. Don’t wear your dry-fit athletic gear, but be comfortable.

We will be moving our bodies, playing games, and doing group experiments that will require you to move your arms and legs.

Where do I park?

There is some onsite parking at Black Sun Studio, but be prepared to park on the street and walk a block or two.

Please carpool if you can.

It’s a Saturday morning, can I bring my kids?

Sorry, this event is for adult learners.

Will there be food?

There will be bagels and coffee in the morning if you’d like to arrive early. The workshop will still start at 9 AM sharp!
