If all of the above sounds a lot to fit into one day that’s because it would be if I were to explain, in detail, how all of the above work. As long as we understand what they are for and what they do, then that’ll be enough to connect them correctly.
And don’t worry if any of the terminology sounds a bit scary, it’s really not.

I also limit each event to a maximum of 8 participants, so there’s plenty of time to practise.
