The offer is as follows: Robert's classes as mentioned above, up to 5 meals (Jonathan is a very good cook, and uses healthy ingredients), and use of the property as described. He would also lead a stretch and tone class with dance, yoga and meditation elements. Arrival can be Friday from 6:00 PM, or Sat A.M. Robert's first session would begin at 10:30. We'd have a casual brunch Sun. and leave around 2:00. That's the basic concept, it will be fine tuned as we move forward.
The price for each participant from the above list is $260.00, about the cost of 2 nights at a Best Western with no food or world class Blues. Ten dollars off if you are too late to snag a bed, and end up on a gym mat (tthey're not bad). $15.00 off if you camp out, Jonathan has 2 tents.
