Hey, so I goofed…

  • Goof #1 is that I accidentally posted an older version of this post that said the event was on October 10th even though we moved it to the 13th earlier in the year. The details below are correct.
  • Goof #2 is that I knew RWO was no longer accepting new members, but I didn’t realizing they were also not letting anyone register for individual workshops anymore. So, if you’re not already a member, there’s no way for you to complete the sale to attend this workshop anymore, sorry about that. If you still want to be able to attend, you can try emailing RWO and they might be able to help you out, but there’s no way to register online anymore.

Very sorry for any confusion this caused!

(It’s a weird situation because this is one of the last workshops for RWO before they close doors so things are a little out of the ordinary. Well, that and I saw the message that there was a newer version of the post and ignored it which is fully on me. 😅)
