Twenty Years of Seminars in Ojai – and Now by Skype!

Martha Ringer has been a Seminar Leader for almost 20 years. She shares her experience of holding Skype seminars, plus a letter from Andreina Garban who participates from Caracas, Venezuela.

If you are an MSIA Seminar Leader and have questions about doing seminars by Skype or Zoom, contact zoom@msia.org. Happy to help!

Enjoy.

From Martha Ringer, Ojai, CA:

I have been holding weekly seminars for 20 years here in Ojai and before that in New York for many years. It has been a small group and I have envisioned the group growing.

I joked sometimes with people about coming to the seminar by speakerphone. When the Zoom seminars started through MSIA, I realized it was time to explore. My friend Andreina in Caracas said she would love to come each week. We experimented both with WhatsApp and Skype, and Skype worked best for us and her connection.

So each week she joins us. It is a joy and a blessing for us and for her. She has her own chair and I prop up the iPad so she can see us for sharing and then turn it around for seminar. We have time together after the seminar to talk but not for long. As when we finish it is after midnight for her. That’s commitment.

When I travel for work, Nann Kyra (who comes weekly) generously leads the seminar. We all experience the lifting and karma clearing of attending weekly seminars and feel especially blessed to have the closeness that technology is allowing.

From Andreina Garban, Caracas, Venezuela:


My Beloved Martha,

I lost track when it began, but I do know how much it means. I don’t know how long it’s been but I have experienced many blessings I have received since we began.

What am I talking about? Our friendship? No. This is much more! I’m talking about our Wednesday seminars. It has been such a great gift to me.

I am living in crazy times. It takes a lot of energy to keep some sense of sanity in a place where the challenges are even for the basic things or those things that are taken for granted.

Now every Wednesday has an extra gift of joy and comfort. Like a bit of heaven. It has made such a huge difference in my days. I know I feel safer, comforted and loved.

Each week is much better because of our special Wednesday. And I have been experiencing more gratitude, focus, joy, commitment, clarity, and a sense of “belonging” that makes me feel good! Even on the most challenging days.

So I’m deeply grateful for connections, Skype, WhatsApp, MSIA extending the ways to reach out… and for YOU, opening your home every single Wednesday and welcoming me. Thank you for giving me a bit of heaven, a bit of pure heaven.

I’m deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart.

I love you,
Andre
