How do I get these resources once I've paid for them?
From this page you will be redirected to a payment portal. Once you have paid for the unit, you will be sent a pdf containing a link to type into your Browser. This will work best in Chrome. There is also a scannable QR code that you can point the camera of your phone at, click the link that appears and it will open directly on your phone if you prefer.
Is this right for me if I'm a beginner/advanced?
These units are designed to be simple, integrated units where your family rhythm is still honoured, but someone else gets to do all the hard thinking and integration planning. They are simple to use and provide the tools and ideas but are minimally designed to allow you to add your own touch still.
