[How'd It Go? SURVEY] Post-Course Survey - Wrap Up (8 questions, 2-3 min)
Yes, this course meets for online (only) gatherings once a week for six weeks - the sessions are all online but the group size is small to encourage supportive conversation and personalized support. Your course dashboard contains the videos from the live sessions, custom worksheets and checklists and course materials.
ALL live, group meetings are recorded and will be made available (ony) for class participants to view after the session. Please note that the recording can be stopped or paused during the Q&A session (after each one-hour lesson) whenever requested.
The 6-week Masterclass's standard registration fee is $299.00 per person. Please see the pricing options section on the registration page should there be any additional pricing options or scholarship opportunities available.
YES! Feel free to invite your partner/spouse and have them join you. Additional or extended family members are encouraged to register for the course individually.
GYST Masterclasses sell out and there is often a considerable waitlist. If you have registered and paid for the course and are unable to participate, you can request a refund by emailing Team GYST at [email protected] a minimum of 24-hours before the first, live session.
Once you have registered for the course each participant is able to access the course dashboard and all course materials. The course dashboard will remain live and accessible for an additional 6-weeks after the last scheduled week = three months total.
