Plan on an all day affair, to recap your learning and use of your tools, to give gratitude, and to celebrate.

Review and Practice
The morning will be set aside to honor our tools and what they have taught us so far, as well as how else we may take them into our personal practices, and any offerings we may choose to offer others.

Graduation Despacho
