This is a 2-part workshop. We meet for 4.5 hours (including lunch) on a Sunday, and then the following Friday we meet for 2.5 hours (including dinner). Often the group goes out for beers together after the last session.
This class is designed for anyone who identifies as a father and that is expecting a baby or currently in the newborn stage.
