We're excited to welcome Bernardo Faria, Dominyka Obelnenyte and other special guests to Bellingham for the first ever Gi To Sea festival!
This is nearly a full week of special events, from Thursday, March 6 until Monday night, March 10. Registering for this all-week ticket gets you access to EVERYTHING, including ALL the special classes with Dominyka and other guest instructors, and also includes the Bernardo Faria seminar.
The full week ticket is $100 for members, $120 for non-members.
The Bernardo seminar by itself is $80 for members, $120 for non-members, and each special class will be $30, so if you think you'll go to at least two special classes, this is a great deal.
