This week each of us shared our favorite Manadoob character
to get started. I thought this might be a good way to prepare for our next
session when we create our masks of a favorite character. I reminded our group
that next week is our final meeting and heard from several that they weren’t
happy about this. T and H3 like Griff Bob best because of his humor, K likes
Uma Lily because she is part dolphin, and S1 agreed adding that she thinks Uma
Lily is honest and wise like herself. Yama Cruz is L1’a favorite because of the
patience he shows with Wella. H2’s favorite is Latona Maya because of her
unique mix of a pig and a pony.
Last week we left off before doing chapter 26: Patience in
the workbook, so we started there discussing the Nairi stone and its meaning.
We each shared one thing to be patient about. For T and K they both feel they
could be more patient about their birthdays. S1 wants to be more patient about
earning money; H3 admitted he could be more patient about waiting for
Thursdays. When I asked him why Thursdays, he replied that he looks forward to
Manadoob! H2 wants to show more patience towards others, especially when they
interrupt. L1 shared she is feeling impatient about an upcoming memorial on
spring break for her bunny that passed away; each year her family gets together
to hold a small remembrance of her bunny at this time. We agreed that keeping
the Naira stone close may be helpful and after reading the moobiki hint L1 and
S1 whispered to one another and smiled. When I looked toward them L1 smiled and
asked why they only get one stone to share, that she needs several in her
family. Everyone in group started laughing about this and agreed that at times
multiple stones may be helpful in this area. I appreciate the relationship L1
and S1 are creating; they have been sitting next to one another and sometimes
whisper amongst themselves during breaks in group. I hope to see this
friendship continue to develop after Manadoob as well.
We read through chapter 27 together and watched the video Kids & Animals – A Healing Partnership.
Next week will be a very busy session as well, and I hope to discuss the video
and finish chapter 28. The last part of our session will be spent working on
our masks and having some snacks to celebrate our group. J
