Update

We have received awesome feedback from course participants (including an expert on course building!) and are working to update the course for future release. Those currently enrolled will continue to have access to the original version as we conduct these improvements. When the refreshed course is released, previous registrants will be granted access to this new iteration. If you'd like to be updated on our progress, please make sure you are signed up for our mailing list at aikidoideaproject.com/newsletters

Thank you for all your support and stay tuned for our next phase!
