THE NFWU HAS A NEW HOME
The NFWU has moved and as from 01 January 2021, the NFWU content on this site will no longer be updated.
If you have yet to move your membership, please check your emails from Nina or contact Nina to obtain your personal coupon code to ensure you continue to pay the same price for NFWU. You will continue to receive email reminders of events, but schedules and event replays will no longer be posted here. Nina looks forward to welcoming you on the new platform soon.
