"Flow School" has become something of a tradition among Flowstars, who down tools for an hour or so to pick up new skills, expose themselves to new trends and heartily debate contentious issues in a series of late-afternoon classes twice a year, in summer and winter.
We have a new term of Flow School starting in July and, as our clients and partners have often expressed an interest in some of the topics we cover, we have decided to open the hallowed Flow School doors to guests! There will be limited availability, so if any of the sessions listed below appeal to you, please contact Maria Foundanellas at maria@flowsa.com, and we will try to fit you in.
