STL Fall Catalog Cover

Fall 2022 Class Registration Now Open! Take a look at our catalog online or look for your copy in the mail!

Discover all that Oasis has to offer this fall and endless opportunities to grow. Look for your class catalog in the mail in the coming weeks. We have so many NEW programs including discounts on bundles, open dialogue discussion series like "The Talkative Millennial," mystery classes and so much more. This fall is going to be fun!

As you browse our fall lineup, you may observe our catalog's new and improved format! We've made it easier to navigate the options for participating in Oasis through the assignment of icons indicating whether the class is in-person, virtual, hybrid, or outdoors. Look for the icon "key" throughout the catalog. We've also included ways to save with our "Bundling Options," where you can take multiple classes from your favorite instructor or class topic at a discounted rate when you register for them all. Savings are automatically included in your cart at checkout—no coupon code is needed!

Additionally, check out our new "Innovation Lab" programs, where we offer a lineup of in-person interactive sessions led by Oasis staff members on topics important to YOU. While we have themes like "The Talkative Millennial," the idea for these "labs" is to engage in an open dialog with our participants. Also included are "Mystery Classes," where you can sign up for a class without knowing the topic until you arrive. These surprise classes will cover whimsical subjects, unlike anything we have typically offered. We hope you will take a chance and try something new that you might have never considered!

Masks are recommended for our in-person classes.
