I highly recommend Devanadi (and this isn’t just for folks in the Minnesota area; Zoom is a well-used tool). The school does an incredible job of crafting a program that’s informative and transformative. The faculty teachers are delightful, warm, intelligent, and encouraging. They all provided a wide variety of teaching, experience, tradition, and knowledge. The investment—time and money—was well worth it.
