1-hour Audio Conference with Paul Guise - $85.00

1-hour Web Conference with Jocelyn Phillips - $109.95

Have you been thinking about exploring Second Life but weren't sure how to
get started?  Or did you set up an account some time ago and haven't had
time to learn the basics.  The purpose of this session is to provide an
orientation to the essential elements of creating and customizing your own
avatar, walking, flying, navigating within the grid and searching for
friends, groups, events and sites.  The learning curve feels a bit steep at
first.  This session will make it less so.
