An Introduction to Kink 101: Bondage and Domination, S&M
The instructor was very knowledgeable and took their time explaining every aspect of the course. They definitely made you out feel comfortable. I look forward to future classes. -
Hold 'em Poker Open Play
I would recommend this class 100%. It was a lot more than I thought it was going to be. I would recommend anyone who wants to sharpen their skills. This is the place to go. My teacher was excellent. -

Forest Bathing Experience
Loved this class! -
Fun and Easy Tarot - Learn to Read Tarot
Sara is great. We had a fun group. I wish this was a two part class so we could go more in depth. -
Forest Bathing Experience
This was my first experience but I have done a lot of research on forest bathing. Sally did a great job! She is so kind and generous and even stayed a little after to talk to me about how I am trying to set up a business of my own around forest bathing. My only suggestion is that the gardens provide a detailed explanation on where to find the group. I was 15 minuets late because I am not the greatest map reader and had to figure out where to go once I parked. Maybe drawing on the map or suggesting a specific parking lot would help. It was a beautiful day and I am SO glad I attended! -
Rafting, White Water
Everything was very good Many thanks Greetings from Prague, Czech Republic -

Make a Bonsai Tree
The Make a Bonsai class at the Color Cocktail Factory in Pilsen was pretty cool. The venue was lively on a Saturday night, with multiple classes happening simultaneously. Everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves. The instructors were all friendly and helpful (maybe spread a little thin though). My partner and I enjoyed our class as well. It was an interesting way to get creative, enjoy a few beers, and go home with a tiny tree. They imparted us with the skills to make more bonsai (if I fail to keep this round alive). I'd recommend the class. You will get a little dirty and poke your fingers some though, fyi. -
Contract Bridge for Beginners
The instructor was very thorough. He constantly referred to items in the book provided. He was very patient in answering questions and pointing out mistakes. I would recommend his class to anyone interested in learning bridge. -
Introduction to Beekeeping
Great teacher. Incredible class -
Fun and Easy Tarot - Learn to Read Tarot
Fun, comprehensive, and very spiritual. Our instructor definitely knew her stuff, she's the real deal as an astrologist and tarot reader. When we were there she broke down how both are intertwined and helped us delve into our signs, and houses and such (I'm a real novice!). It was very informative, after that we were walked through a reading that was incredibly accurate for our first time! I can't explain the class well enough except to say if you're interested in either astrology, tarot, spirituality, or just something different, you should take this course. -
Dildos and Bottles
Great experience! The instructor was very warm and welcoming and very helpful. Great girlfriend time. Definitely will be going again. -

Adult Beginning Swim
This class is a great place to begin if you can’t swim at all, or if you were casually taught and never learned the mechanics of a freestyle. They separate the group into two by ability, so those that have more fundemtnals can move at a quicker, technical pace. Those that are hesitant to be in the water are eased in at a pace that is comfortable for them. Great, friendly instructors! -
Downhill Ski Trip
I was a wonderful experience for our whole group! -
Medicine for the Earth
I thought the class was well designed and structured. -
