A Note on Costing: I try to keep the cost as low as I can to enable as many people as possible to attend, but the real time of development, delivery, associated admin and support of holding a group for six months equates to approx. 300 hours of work over an 8 month period (preparation, marketing & follow up) which, if the course sells out at early bird prices (12 places), means I get paid around £15 per hr, which for someone with three degrees and 15 years of expertise in this area is low (UK minimum wage is £12.21). I am making this costing as transparent as possible to highlight the value of £/per hr of my time you receive as a participant. These courses develop out of my own creative work. I can’t make a course without making the work first. Buying a course from me is like buying a work of art, it acknowledges the value of the making and thinking & supports me to keep making the work and developing ideas while I do it. Buying this particular work of art (a 6 month course) will support you to develop your own works of art in turn.. & so the creative ripples extend!
