How to join
To join, simply click on the link. If you have not used Zoom before you will be asked to download the free app from the internet which just takes a few minutes. You can join a test meeting here
During the class it is important that you keep your video off to reduce bandwidth. You will be muted automatically. Set your screen to “speaker view” and you will see me. At the end of the class you can turn audio and video on for feedback and discussion.
Payment
Classes are set up on a sliding scale and you are invited to pay what you can afford. My preferred method is payment by BACS. Please email me for my account details. Alternatively, if you have an account, you can pay by PayPal to post@meridianpress.net.
If you are unable to pay at this stage because of Covid I am happy for you to join anyway and to receive the class as a supportive gift. Wishing you strong Qi and resilience during these extraordinary times.
