We're looking forward to another year of doing the Simple course with you starting October 1st 2025. Here you will find some basic information about the course should you be interested in doing it with us:

1. The Simple course will continue to take place on Wednesday mornings from 9 AM to 12 PM. It will start on October 1 and continue until the end of May. We may be changing in-person venues (We'll keep you posted). We're encouraging people to join us virtually over zoom as in person spots will be limited and assigned on a first-come first serve basis.

2. We will likely not be doing the optional Monday 3 PM to 4:30 PM informal BOING group. Boing stands for breakout, informal and graduate group. Boing was an opportunity to informally discuss the material covered on Wednesdays. While we had some amazing discussions, some weeks only 3 or 4 people attended so we're re-thinking how to use that time.

3. If you're interested in participating in the simple course please fill out the registration form, which you can find below, completely. (Please note that if of the fields are missing we will return the form to you and ask you to fill it out completely) Send us your registration as soon as possible. Forms received after mid August will be processed as soon as we can but we can't guarantee that that will be before the group starts on October 1.

4. Below you will find a 10 minute video describing our program. If you have any questions please email us at itssimple2023@gmail.com.
