Recruitment has ended.
The date for the next Flow Theory class will be announced as soon as it is decided.
Lars' web class course was popular.
In order to learn more deeply, we adopted the format of "learning with the same members in a series of three". Lars wants to learn together in a situation where each person's face and name can be known.
We will hold a small number of people so that we can have time to talk directly.
