Choose solo play for privacy and your own pace; choose group play when several perspectives are useful and everyone accepts turn-taking, consent and confidentiality.
Leela is a sequential self-reflection practice: the player states an intention, moves through themes on the board, records personal answers, and checks conclusions against real events. Solo play gives privacy and control of pace; group play adds other perspectives but requires consent, turn-taking and clear boundaries.
