After 2026, we are not teaching this class again.

Not “maybe next year.”

Not “we’ll see.”

DONE.

The Behind The Veil Academy Modern Funeral Design: Advanced Sympathy Masterclass is officially having its final run October 16–17 in Capitol Heights, Maryland.

And if you’ve been saying:

“I need to learn sympathy work.”

“I want my funeral floral work to look more modern.”

“I know I can charge more, but my portfolio doesn’t show it yet.”

“I’ll take the class next time.”

There is no next time.
This is the room.
This is the work.

This is your FINAL opportunity to learn how to create sympathy designs with structure, scale, presence and intention — not just another casket spray that looks like everything else.

You’ll create:
• Oversized floral arrangements
• Structured casket sprays
• Floral runners + statement installations
• Modern sympathy design elements
• Draping
• Candle sand
• Photo boards

And you’ll leave with the kind of work that can change how people see your business:

Professional brand photos.
A 15-second promo video.
Portfolio images that help you sell higher.
And the confidence to stop apologizing for your pricing.

Because let’s be honest…

Some of you don’t need another Pinterest board.

You need proof that you can do the work.

Some of you don’t need more information.

You need to get in the room and actually create.

And some of you already know how to design.

You just need your work to start looking like the level of client you want to attract.

This room is for all of that.

October 16–17, 2026
Capitol Heights, MD
In partnership with Echelon Avant Garde Mortuary

$499 secures your seat.
$1,499 total.

And when this class is over?

So is the class.

No 2027 date.
No “catch it next year.”
No encore.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign…

This is it.

Behind The Veil Academy
2027 Experience Schedule

If you’re serious about becoming better at this work, you need to be in the room.

Not another webinar.

Not another collection of tips you’ll save and never use.

The room.

The room where event and wedding professionals come together to sharpen their craft, challenge their thinking, build real relationships, and raise the standard of what this industry can be.

That is what Behind The Veil Academy is taking on the road in 2027.

✨ 6 cities. One community. One shared standard.

📍 Atlanta | Jan 22–23
📍 Dallas | Feb 19–20
📍 Napa Valley | May 1
📍 Charleston | Jun 5
📍 Boston | Sep 10–11
📍 Detroit | Nov 12–13

Some are 1-Day Experiences.
Some are immersive 2-Day Experiences.

But every stop has the same purpose:

LEARN. CONNECT. CREATE. ELEVATE.

Because we believe your next level isn’t built by staying in your lane.

It’s built by getting around people who challenge you.

People who make you think differently.

People who take the craft seriously.

People who aren’t satisfied with good enough.

This is for the designer ready to sharpen their edge.

The business owner ready to elevate their position.

The rising professional ready to stop figuring it out alone.

This is your invitation to get in the room.

Hosted by Atosha Barboza Bennett + BTV Master Designers.

🥂 Registration opens Monday, August 31.

Choose your city. Bring your creativity. Come ready to raise your standard.

You can watch beautiful weddings and events on Instagram all day.

Save the reels.

Screenshot the installations.

Study the florals.

Zoom in on the tablescapes.

Analyze the rooms.

But at some point…

you need to get closer to the work.

You need to see how elevated creative decisions are actually made.

You need to put your hands on the mechanics.

You need to understand what happens between the inspiration photo and the finished experience.

You need to be around designers who are serious about raising the standard of what they create.

That’s why Behind The Veil Academy’s LUSH. LOUD. LUXE. is different.

This is not a “sit down, take notes, and go home inspired” kind of day.

We work.

We design.

We build.

We talk production.

We talk presentation.

We talk ex*****on.

And we talk about what has to change when you’re no longer satisfied creating weddings and events at the level you used to.

Because sometimes the thing separating you from your next level isn’t another tip.

It’s proximity to a higher standard.

LUSH. LOUD. LUXE.

Tonight we’re getting to WORK inside Behind The Veil Academy’s Skool community

Our Co-Working Session tonight is: 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

PRETTY DOESN’T PAY 👀
Because beautiful work is great…
But is your content actually bringing you:

Inquiries?
Conversations?
Clients?

Tonight we’re auditing content, looking at what’s missing, and FIXING it together in real time.

Not another class to watch later.

Bring your business. Let’s work on it.

You’ve saved enough inspiration. 👀

Seriously.

How many screenshots are in your phone right now?

How many ideas have you said…

“I want to try that.”

“I need to create something like that.”

“I’ve been wanting to learn this.”

But you’re still waiting for the “right time.”

Here’s your sign:

GET IN THE ROOM.

Behind The Veil Academy Experiences are made for creatives who need more than another post to save.

You need to CREATE.

You need to TRY.

You need to LEARN.

You need to be around other people who understand the vision.

And sometimes ONE DAY is enough to completely wake your creativity back up.

There are FOUR Behind The Veil Academy experiences left in 2026.

And no, I don’t think you need to come to all four.

I think you need to get in the room that addresses what’s happening in your business RIGHT NOW.

She came to a Behind The Veil Academy workshop.

She went home with new processes, more confidence, and a completely different mindset around how she runs her business.

Then she sent this:

“I landed a significant contract this week.” 🥹❤️

THIS is what I want these rooms to do.

Not give you a notebook full of cute ideas you never look at again.

I want you leaving ready to make different decisions, tighten up how you operate, have better conversations, lead differently, and actually EXECUTE when you get home.

And we only have a few opportunities left to experience BTVA in 2026:
