Dear Beloved Reps and Seminar Leaders,<\/strong><\/p>\n

A powerful way to touch in to the satsang of Conference is to gather together as a community and watch online.\u00a0 This is a beautiful option to foster loving connection if you\u2019re not able to attend in person.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve certainly experienced this connection via the fellowship of home seminars\u2014imagine how profound this could be with Conference activities! As<\/strong> J-R says, \u201cthe seminars and the gathering together of people builds a consciousness from which people can keep pulling for weeks to gain their greater strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here are some tips for sharing Conference together in your community:<\/p>\n

Designate a host for Conference gatherings<\/strong>.\u00a0 Having a home base to watch the events is a great resource for folks who may otherwise only watch on their own.\u00a0 You could do this for one Conference event, or for all of them!<\/p>\n

Reach out and call local Discourse subscribers<\/strong>.\u00a0 When is the last time you got a phone call from a local MSIAer to check in?\u00a0 A personal call to invite folks to your gathering (or simply to watch however they choose to) gives people live human contact, and it may be just what they need to participate in Conference.<\/p>\n

Invite new folks<\/strong>.\u00a0 The Conference open event on Wednesday and all of the Thursday events are open to the public, and your gathering can be a welcoming and fun way for people to experience the Traveler\u2019s teachings for the first time.<\/p>\n

Do group se\u2019s or a seminar<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/strong>Even if you don\u2019t watch the Conference events as a group, you could offer group se\u2019s or a seminar around Conference time. Both can serve as vehicles to gather together as a community and connect inwardly with the divine presence.<\/p>\n

Have food<\/strong>.\u00a0 <\/strong>What better way to inspire folks to attend your community gathering than food?\u00a0 J\u00a0 Sharing a meal (or even just snacks) can be so nurturing and create a sense of family as part of the Conference experience.<\/p>\n

If you hold a gathering, feel free to email me at DebbieRoth@msia.org<\/a> – and share photos if you can. It would be lovely to see what you do!<\/p>\n

Many blessings to us all, and have a wonderful Conference.<\/p>\n

Love and Light,
\nDebbie<\/p>\n
