Program Rhythm
The Guild's normal program may differ in terms of overall duration, but the content and flow are relatively consistent. Except for short program weekends (which may include both morning and afternoon classes), the following schedule is the most common. Arrival and departure days typically don't include classes. Instead, these days serve as community-building bookends with meals and shared gatherings that start and end our time together. Because the Guild program experience is built around community practice, we recommend that participants plan their travel to include both the arrival and departure days.
