For courses offered in Taipei, as long as I can fit it into my limited schedule, I will open a set as long as there is a minimum of ten students.

Some subjects require prerequsites and age requirements. Specialty and esoteric or other off-the-beaten-path as well as Advanced Experiential Trance Technique topics are available. Feel free to discuss with me an offering of a course or workshop related to any of the specialized topics discussed on this website or on my blog. Certain subjects require participants to enroll with practice partners and/or consenting adults only. We're pretty outgoing and liberal so most topics are well within what we can offer, however please understand that some topics are still outside our comfort zone (if in doubt, just ask).
