More About our Estill Level 1&2:

During the week, we spend time playing with sound and exploring all the colour options and problem/solution work within the group. Singing in the open coaching sessions is optional but recommended. Levels 1&2 is a prerequisite for many of the advanced workshops and future qualifications. This course is not a qualification for EVT, but a prerequisite to beginning your certification journey.
