SURVIVORSHIP WEBINARS

SURVIVORSHIP WEBINARS

Survivorship is happy to announce a series of Webinars and Teleconferences on various aspects of ritual abuse and healing. Webinars are seminars on the Web -- basically, conference calls plus slides. Teleconferences are conference calls; sometimes they are accompanied by slides on the Survivorship website. Both can have question and answer periods. They are like presentations at a conference, except there is no travel involved!

This is how it works. You call a certain number, you are connected to the conference call, and you listen to the presenter over your phone. If it's a Webinar, you see slides or other documents on your computer. There is also a chat feature.

PRIVACY CONCERNS
As always, the information you send Survivorship in order to register is kept strictly confidential. No record is kept of your phone number. You choose what name to go by for the Webinar or Teleconference: it does not have to be your real name or message board screen name.


The presentation will be recorded and posted on our website so that you can hear it again. You are asked to agree to being recorded, but of course you will not be recorded unless you speak during a question and answer period.


SELF CARE
People who have helped test the software found that hearing other survivors’ voices was a very emotional experience. Think about ways to take care of yourself afterwards in case you have this reaction or the material presented stirs up issues.


SCHEDULE
Updated information about the schedule will be periodically posted on http://www.survivorship.org/events.html

Hopefully, this new technology will be an effective way of imparting information and building bridges between people who cannot meet in person. We hope that many of you will participate and some will be inspired to give Webinars or Teleconferences on aspects of ritual abuse, mind control, and healing that are of particular interest to you. Remember, we are all experts, we all have something to contribute, and together we are writing the “instruction manual” for healing!
