I think I recall you mentioning that you videotaped it, demonstrating various things you were doing and how you do them, etc...... Presumably there is also a written component as well, maybe a .pdf booklet to accompany the course as well? If it's not a live-as-it's-happening class then it makes sense to have a private forum set up for Q&A and discussion among the participants.
yes there is a 60+ page pdf and i think seven videos. plus some bonus material available only if you sign up before october 3. and then a private forum. if you sign up after that date you get the main materials but not access to the forum or the bonus material.

there is info on general macro shooting plus a lot of lensbaby information. plus inexpensive gear alternatives if you don’t want to commit to a true macro setup yet

but anyway i’ve talked more here about it than i planned. was just supposed to be a mention.

Thanks! This is good that you've gone into a little more detail here about what is on offer so that those reading this thread who might be interested have a better idea of what to expect..... While some of us here have taken online workshops or courses on-and-off through the years, others may not have done so, and this provides a bit more information in case someone is thinking of pursuing this further; and as you've already mentioned, anyone interested can contact you via PM for the actual course link for more details as well.

From my garden in July, a fragrant rose with the classic scent: Lasting Love.
Intensive breeding has wiped out much of the scent in modern roses. They simply forgot it, but scientists now believe they could bring it back in new cultivars. This one is like Classic system 9, when systems were simply working. Photo shot with iPhone 6s, just to prove someone that it was still good with the right light.

Last of the Waterton Lakes National Park images. Every where we went there were signs posted warning about bear activity in the area. Even so we spotted exactly zero live bears on this trip to the park. An anomaly to be sure. Closest we came was this sculpture at Cameron Lake. A twofer today. The image itself and for those able to view it, a stereo pair of the same shot. Pair is parallel, left image viewed with left eye and right with right. Depending on your monitor you may need to move back from the screen to successfully view the pair in stereo.

this is really cool. i'm really surprised you were allowed to fly it in the city! i live in restricted airspace so i can't have a drone.
Thanks. Yeah, no restrictions in this area of the city. The usual altitude restrictions start kicking in about 1 1/2 mile to the south as you enter the 5 mile radius of the International airport.

I have no clue what it is, but I want one.
It's a very ordinary household object: a citrus reamer/ juicer. You cut the orange or lemon (there's a smaller one of these doohickeys for the lemon) in half and then put one of the halves on the reamer, which is positioned over a plastic container, start squeezing, pressing and pushing, and voila! I love using common everyday objects for macros and closeups -- most people's kitchens are filled with interesting objects with potential for creating a macro image!
