The September soft launch series

We are opening in a deliberate, right-sized way. Small rooms, and real conversation with the people who show up — so the full program we build next is shaped by this community rather than guesswork.

The series meets four times in 2026

Everyone on the class list hears first about which practice is scheduled on each date.

When

September 12, September 26, October 31, and November 29, 2026 — a series of four classes.

Time

12:00pm – 2:00pm, indoors.

Where

The Lot — 4500 Harford Rd, Baltimore, MD 21214.

Who

September classes: 15 participants max (completed). October and November classes: 30 participants max. All ages welcome. No experience needed.
