On Heallist, you can offer both group classes and workshops along with 1:1 sessions to connect with multiple clients at once. While both are valuable for expanding your practice and creating community-based healing experiences, there are a few key differences in how they function — especially when it comes to scheduling and calendar management.
Group Classes
Group classes are ideal for recurring sessions or ongoing community gatherings.
Key Details:
-
When a group class is added and a date is selected, a corresponding event is automatically created in your connected Google Calendar.
-
If the class is recurring, separate calendar events are generated for each occurrence.
-
If a date is removed for a recurring class, the matching event in your Google Calendar is automatically deleted.
Use this option for:
-
Weekly /monthly group activities
-
Healer circles
- Short holistic trainings
Workshops
Workshops are typically single, one-off events, though you can schedule them as needed.
Key Details:
-
A calendar event is automatically created as soon as a workshop is set up.
-
If you reschedule the date or time of a workshop, the event in your connected Google Calendar updates automatically to reflect the new details.
Use this option for services like:
-
Special seasonal events
-
Community healing circles
-
Longer educational talks
✅ Summary of Differences
| Feature | Group Class | Workshop |
|---|---|---|
| Recurring option | Yes | No (typically one-time) |
| Google Calendar sync | Creates separate events for each date | One event per workshop, updates if rescheduled |
