Workshops

We are no longer booking Pura or General Skills for ATS workshops for 2008, look for next year's schedule very soon. We are now booking for 2009!
If you would like to sponsor an FCBD workshop in your area, please email for more information or call 415-431-4322.

Due to the success of both the Tribal Pura workshops and the General Skills intensives, we are taking Tribal Pura in a new direction.  For the next couple of years, Tribal Pura’s offering will be taking General Skills Intensives to numerous areas to allow more ATS enthusiasts the opportunity to attend this information packed event.  You will still be able to attend our traditional Tribal Pura workshops throughout 2008 as we have events scheduled with sponsors around the globe.  There will also be a few General Skills Intensives with Carolena and Megha at varying locations during that time, and several with Carolena at the FCBD studio in San Francisco.  Beginning with 2009, we will be offering exclusively the General Skills Intensives, GS Drills and our new project Tribal Village. Stay tuned!
