If your schedule changes or you accidentally RSVP to an event that you cannot attend, you can easily un-RSVP from that event.

NOTE: Un-RSVP’ing from an event on the TNW Community site will NOT remove the event from your digital calendar app (Google Calendar, iCalendar, etc.) To remove the event you will need to decline or delete it manually within the calendar app.

1. Click the “Un-RSVP” button (see below)

2. You will be prompted to confirm this action, by clicking “OK” (see below)

  • After RSVP’ing you will receive a confirmation email that will contain instructions on how to join the live class. 1 hour prior to the start of class you will receive a reminder email which will include the Zoom link for that night’s class.
