Special Needs

If you have a mobility handicap that precludes your ability to climb stairs, please verify with us that the venue is handicapped accessible.

This workshop is scent free to support the well-being of people who have adverse reactions to scents. A significant number of people have scent sensitivities, including our workshop leaders.

This is what scent free means. Please come scented au naturel!  Do not put on any synthetic products before coming to class.  This includes synthetic fragrances commonly found in skin lotions, deodorant, makeup, shampoo, hand creams, hair sprays, leave-in hair products, etc. Instead, choose products that are scent-free, scented with essential oils, or have a label reading “no synthetic fragrances” on the product. Do not spray your clothes with air fresheners of any kind, and avoid the use of artificially scented laundry detergent and dryer sheets. Thank you so much for your conscientious co-operation on this! The workshop leaders will use scent free products and do their best to ensure scent free space, recognizing that in some public venues this is challenging especially regarding the air fresheners in restrooms. If you are scent/chemical sensitive, please bring a filtering mask if you need it.
