Registration is now open for our
February 21-24, 2012, Certified Zentangle Teacher seminar at Hotel Providence in Providence, RI, USA.

As desire to learn the Zentangle method increases, so does the demand for Certified Zentangle Teachers (CZTs). We've always known from email feedback how valuable a Zentangle class with a CZT is (see below). And now our CZT program is receiving larger recognition. For instance:

• A national craft show producer only accepts CZTs to teach Zentangle workshops at their events. 
• A mid-western hospital sent two employees to become certified so they could integrate the Zentangle method into their healing approaches.
• A New England college sent one of their PhDs to become a CZT and develop clinical trials on the effectiveness of the Zentangle method in pain management and stress relief.

Here are a few reasons why you might come to a CZT seminar: 

• Create a business teaching the Zentangle method.
• Bask in the company of like-minded people (existing CZTs often re-attend!).  
• Learn more about something you love.
• Buy Zentangle products at wholesale.
• Understand more about Zentangle by meeting with and learning from its founders.   

Please take a few moments to look through the information in this newsletter and its links. If you have questions, please send us an email.

And please register promptly. Previous seminars have filled quickly.

[ . . . ] Thanks, Rick.  And deep gratitude to you and Maria for not only coordinating the beginning of Zentangles, but nurturing it along so lovingly, with the help of a terrific crew!   

Last week a woman called me and she was crying so hard, she could hardly say hello.  She told me she was so depressed, her Dr. had given up on her.  I sent her a packet with information about all kinds of things, including Zentangles.  She came to last Saturday's Zentangle Class, and attended a support group tonight.  She had been just about ready to give up on herself.  There are so many stories like this, and I am so grateful to be able to reach out to all kinds of people, in all kinds of situations -- happy and sad -- and introduce them to all the possibilities of Zentangle.

Peace, love, and Zentangles!

Carol Bailey Floyd, CZT

Hotel Providence is a private 4-star hotel in the heart of Providence. They love having us there and give us good rates. Still, they are more expensive than the retreat center we previously used, which is now closed. 

 

Everyone who attends agrees that the value received far outweighs the cost. We invite you to join us and become part of this wonderful community.

 

 

 

 

Shortly after you register, we will send you all the info you need for Seminar.

 

 

 

We have confirmed our dates for Certified Zentangle Teacher training seminars for 2012. We are doing three and all will be held at the Hotel Providence. Seminars begin on Tuesday and end on Friday.

• February 21 - 24 (Open for registration) 
• August 14 - 17
• September 25 - 28

We will open registrations for August and September when we're settled into our new registration routine.

We've had to raise our prices to accommodate our increased costs with our new facility. We're not sure yet what our costs will be in August and September but we are told by the hotel that they will be a bit more than February.

It's been our holiday tradition for several years now to tie a bow and add a card to your Zentangle Kit during this end of year gift giving season. All you have to do is ask for it.

We'll do this for orders over $30. You'll get a nice bow and Maria will hand letter a beautiful card. Just tell us the names you want for the "to" and the "from", but please, no notes, just names.  

You can type the info in the "Comments" section as you check out online, or tell us when you call in your order.

Rick and Maria
