Wow, this is sorta expensive for a 3 hour thingy…..
Friday 2-5 p.m. | Reiki Master Retreat | Admission: $1,111 | Location: Downtown Yoga, 50 E. Tabernacle St., St. George.
Foxyheart, thank you for bringing this to our attention. That is indeed pretty pricey for three hours. Upon further examination, the retreat actually starts at 2 p.m. on Friday and ends at 5 p.m. on Sunday. That has been corrected.
Thanks again.
