Multiple-Seminar Participants

If you register for more than one seminar, texts are provided free of charge. Book distribution for multi-seminar registrants begins in March 2024. Those who qualify will be contacted by email in advance to arrange for shipping. This complimentary service is available only if you register for multiple seminars before June 17, 2024. This deadline ensures that your books will arrive with enough time for you to read them before your first seminar, and also helps to account for unforeseeable shipping delays.

Wait List

If a seminar is listed as “sold out” on the online registration page, please register your interest using the online wait list form. No fee is required to join the wait list.

If a spot in the desired seminar becomes available, those on the wait list will be offered the spot in the order that they joined the wait list.

If you are contacted and offered an open spot, you will be asked to respond in a specific number of days to claim the seat. If you decline or we don’t hear from you in the allotted time, the seat will be released to the next person on the wait list. If the wait list has been exhausted, the seminar will be reopened to new registrants.

Occasionally, a large wait list will indicate a level of interest that warrants exploring the addition of a new seminar section; therefore, we invite you to use the wait list so we can best serve your interests.
