Weekend in Seattle - March 2020

We have been monitoring the coronavirus outbreak in the Washington area. In light of the recent deaths and the declaration of a state emergency today we feel it is prudent to cancel the onsite retreat for the safety of all. If you are booked on this weekend and have any questions please email Francesca - francesca@rupertspira.com. 

All sessions will now be streamed using the webinar platform so the weekend will be accessible from the safety of your own home. Please email Francesca - francesca@rupertspira.com for more information.
