Connecting Point Class Schedule
Classes are held at our Winter Park location on Saturdays from 10AM to 12PM, every other week. They are free of charge and open to the public, but we do ask that you please register if you plan to attend any of our classes. Registration is also free and does require that you sign up using a valid email address, but Connecting Point will not sell or distribute your information in any way, and you will only receive emails regarding future classes if you choose to do so.
