  Greetings from PLANET Organic<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = 
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

  Below is our Programme Calendar for 2004.  To provide our participants 
with greater flexibility we have arranged the programme into ten 
courses.  Each course has been carefully developed and sequenced so that it 
naturally builds upon the ones that precede it.  Depending on your 
interests and goals, you can take one, several, or all of the courses.



Please contact us regarding course fees and for more information about any 
of the courses.



Looking forward to hearing from you.



regards from

Christoph, Atena, Anné, Joanna, Kenny & Finn
