<heavy sigh>  Well, now I'm thinking maybe I misunderstood her 
and better ask her again.

Was that week-long thing at UCSF a class you took? or a 
treatment program of some sort?  

If it's a class intended for the general public, and it's not too 
expensive, I could probably swing it.  And it might be worth it to 
me.  And I'd love to hear more about it.
