Customize eec-courses-template for sunfloweracressoaps.com

Wire the sync workflow to eec-sunfloweracres, and add a real four-part
welcome/nurture course that also grows the sunfloweracres-list mailing
list via signup_list_name.

+Hi, and thanks for signing up.
+
+We're Matthew and Marisol — we make small-batch soap by hand, and this list is how we keep in touch. No spam, no upsells, just what's new, what's running low, and occasionally how something gets made.
+
+Over the next few days we'll walk you through what we make and how, so you know exactly what you're getting before you order anything. First up: the current lineup.

+Here's what we're making right now:

+- **Lavender Oatmeal Bar** — $8. Rolled oats and lavender essential oil. Gentle enough for every day.
+- **Clay & Charcoal Mint Bar** — $9. French green clay and activated charcoal with peppermint essential oil. Running low right now.
+- **Oat Milk & Honey Bar** — $8. Oat milk and local honey, unscented and mild.
+- **Cedar & Sage Bar** — $9. Cedarwood and sage, cold-processed with shea butter. Out of stock while we cure the next batch.
+
+That's the whole lineup — no seasonal drops, no seven-flavor rotation, just a small set of bars we know well and make often.

+---
+
+Every bar starts as oil and lye, mixed by hand into a batter, and poured into a mold. That part takes an afternoon. The soap that comes out of the mold isn't done yet, though — it's still soft, and still caustic enough that you wouldn't want it near your skin.
+
+So it sits. Six weeks, minimum, while the saponification finishes and the water works its way out. What comes out the other side is a harder, milder bar that lasts longer in the shower and rinses clean instead of leaving a film.
+
+It's the slow part of the process, and it's also the reason we sometimes run out of something before the next batch is ready. We'd rather you know that than wonder why a bar's been "out of stock" for a few weeks — it's not out for good, it's just curing.
+
+That's also why the ingredient list stays short: oats, clay, charcoal, oat milk, honey, shea butter, essential oils. Nothing you'd need to look up.

+A few things that make a bar last:
+
+- Keep it out of standing water between uses — a soap dish with drainage, or just tilted up on its edge, is enough.
+- Let it dry fully between showers if you can. That's most of what makes a bar last or not.
+- A little cracking on the surface as it dries out is normal, not a flaw — it's the same bar underneath.
+
+That's the last of what we wanted to cover for now. From here you'll just hear from us when there's something worth saying: a new batch ready, something back in stock, or news worth sharing. If you ever want to see what's currently available, it's always at the shop.
