I think it's cool. Can I come visit you in the summer when I am back in Atlanta?
In no particular order, just brainstorming: Have you looked into a partnership or relationship with Emory University? Intimate is not the word which comes immediately to mind, but I used to give classes in law-related topics there when I lived in Atlanta, they are very helpful and have a number of unusual spaces on campus, not necessarily only the regular classrooms. If you are interested, I can go look up the names of the people I used to work with, but I suspect that they are just nice to everybody. It occurs to me that the Children's School in Atlanta might be open to this kind of thing. Or Lullwater School. Do you know the guys at Urban Oasis? Looked at ROAM Atlanta? Er, that's all I can think of right off the top. There is a coaching space here in the Netherlands which focuses entirely on adult coaching/therapy/classes. They have a lovely website but it is all in Dutch so probably not much help.
