Report on recent on-line real-time Courses

Mission and Meaning
Life as a Spiritual journey. Supporting the Self in search for meaning.
Delivered from Australia to an audience in the Asian Pacidfic Time Zone

10 of us participated in this on-line weekend course in real-time (Australian Eastern Standard Time) in April. It worked very well on the ZOOM platform, with lectures, small group discussion and individual work. Time was structured so that there was variety in our activity, and we did not get over-tired. A plus was that participants could join across the region, from Japan, Australia and New Zealand. This has given us the confidence to continue with our on-line course offerings. Lectures were taped and could be made available to participants for review.

Here are a few comments from participants:

“I felt the course was really balanced and it was friendly and inclusive. I found the structure worked really well and helped me maintain my energy and interest over the weekend.” (LF, Australia)
I was not so sure if the online setting would work for biography work. But you have proven it does! I really enjoyed your workshop and had the same quality of inspiration as I usually do from the profound dialogue in a small group setting.” (MU, Japan)

“Very good content. Loved when you brought in the colour visuals.” (DL, NZ)

Foundation Workshop.
Take charge of your life.
Delivered from Australia to an audience in Taiwan and Canada

16 of us participated in this 5-day course in real-time with translation into Mandarin. It worked very well on the ZOOM platform with lectures, small group discussion and individual work.
As the majority of participants live in Taiwan, the course was delivered within their time zone.
Lectures with translation were taped and made available to participants at the end of each day.

Participants shared about the unexpected depth they experienced in their sharings in small groups of three or four in virtual breakout rooms.
