"It's the idea that people living close to nature tend to be noble. It's seeing all those sunsets that does it. You can't watch a sunset and then go off and set fire to your neighbor's tepee. Living close to nature is wonderful for your mental health."
 
~Daniel Quinn

Gift Certificates are now available from Sticks & Stones. If you have a friend or family member who you know would enjoy our classes, this just may be the perfect gift idea.
 
You may either purchase a Standard Gift Certificate of whatever value you
choose, to be spent by the recipient however he or she would like.
 
 
Or, you may wish to purchase a specific Course Gift Certificate for an individual who has their heart set on a particular class... or perhaps you would like to share the experience of a course that you have already taken.
 
 
 
Our Course Gift Certificates are flexible with regards to dates; that is, if the date of your chosen gift doesn't work out for the recipient, s/he may attend a later course which suits their schedule.
 
To purchase a Standard Gift Certificate, please send us a cheque for the desired amount, along with the name of your recipient. 
 
To purchase a Course Gift Certificate, please send us a cheque for the
corresponding deposit or full amount. These values are found on the individual program information page of our website. If you choose to pay the deposit only, the remainder of the amount is due within 30 after you receive the gift certificate in the mail/by email.
