Just You
If you are an adult who will not be practicing with others in a group then you call all the shots! You are your own Mentor and you decide the day and time of your sessions. If you want to include your children, you simply obtain a kids workbook and Mentor workbook and they can join you for your own family group!
There are pros and cons to practicing by yourself. Being able to set your own schedule is an advantage. Yet learning to work together in a group, developing close relationships, and appreciating the gifts of others, are advantages to practicing with others.

Combination Groups
It’s possible to have a group of both kids and adults if the group is willing to allow for the flexibility that is so often necessary when working with kids.
- Perfect for families!
A combo group works especially well in family situations. It works best if you treat it as a kids practice with the adults making the adjustments as needed. The art projects in the adult and child workbooks are compatible to do together.
