Practice with as many different people as you can find willing to engage in this natural psychoeducational process of learning, growth, and development; so that you can observe different responses. 

After each practice session, we will reconvene as a group to share our experiences, questions, and insights. Plan to be done no later than 8:30 p.m. on Saturdays.

Every Wednesday evening at 6:30p there is a Jam Session by invitation for practice and hours of live contact that can be applied to certification hours.
