ThatCyndiGirl Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 I'm as clueless as you are. It was a print ad in our local Metro Family Magazine. (freebie they give out in doctor's offices, library, etc.) The print ad was identical to the website. I went to the website because I didn't quite understand what they were talking about. I get this vibe from it: "There will be a series of seminars....we hope you will pay us money to attend.....there will be great vagueness that you really need to learn about in said seminars....please register today!"
