We’ve had to make the difficult decision to cancel our Winter Workshop scheduled for Sunday, January 25, 2026 due to ongoing storm warnings. While forecasts can change, there are many moving parts involved in organizing an event like this, and out of an abundance of caution for everyone’s safety, we felt this was the right call.
