How do the Teleconference Calls Work?

How they are set up, equipment you need to participate,

and how the classes are structured.

I look forward to the weekly teleconferences and receive much healing from the exchanges with classmates. I have made new connections from France, Canada, Peru, Hawaii, and all over the USA. Joy's teaching techniques are experiental as we listen to and exchange sessions. Joy is spontaneous and flows with her students' needs, which makes the teleconferences unique to those participating. Joy is available for questions and discussion which bring support and clarity. The teleconferences are quite rewarding.

Calendar and Fees for Teleconference Workshops

Four of the eight workshops in The Vibrational Healing Program are taught as Teleconference Workshops, entirely by phone (and also in person). One workshop (Crystals and Aromatherapy--Balancing the Chakras) is taught in person and through a series of seven one-hour online presentations that combine short iMovies with Power Point Presentations. This self-paced workshop is available for $95. It can also be used to meet the qualifications in the Certification Program, for $145. Most of the workshops may be taken in any order, individually, but priority of enrollment is given to those who enroll for the whole program.
The last three workshops must be taken in person.
Call 808 345-5838 for more information. Or email us.

All classes are taught by Joy Gardner

What Equipment Do You Need to Participate?

You just need a telephone. A cell phone is okay. (The only charge is for the long distance call. It's best for you if you have unlimited calling. If you have a calling plan, you can add the number to your free calls.) Prior to the class, you will receive an email with the telephone number for the Conference Call, and an Access Code. Call this number, and an operator will ask you for the Access Code. Punch in the Access Code (on the keypad of your phone) and you will "arrive" in the "room." You'll say your name ("Jamie here") and we'll say, "Hello."

Can You Use Skype?

Yes. It is definitely not necessary, but it is great if you are outside of the United States, or if you pay high long distance rates. You must have a headset and microphone if you are using Skye (otherwise we will hear an echo when you speak). If you have a PC, you can purchase a headset and mike for about $15 from Radio Shack. If you have a Mac, you may need to get a Logitech headset and mike for about $30, which you can find at BestBuy. They can be two separate items, but it's better if they are combined as one.

Skype is normally free, but if you want to call a landline (such as the Conference Call number) you need to buy minutes in advance. Most places will cost 2.4 cents per minute (including VAT/tax). When you pair off with a partner, we will pair you off with another participant who uses Skype, so that part will be free.

Go to Skype.com to get your Skype connection and your Skype name.
Use your credit card or PayPal to buy minutes.
Open up the Skype window on your computer and use the menu at the top of your computer window. Go to the "Call" tab and scroll down to "Call Phones."
Click there and you will see a phone key pad.
Select the country in the blue field on top of the pad (this gives you the automatic prefix).
You'll find more detailed instructions here.
When the operator asks for your Access Code, hit any number on your computer, and the Skype keypad will pop up. Use the Skype keypad to enter the Access Code that we will send you by email, along with the Conference phone number, prior to the call.
If you still need help, call 808 345-5838 and we will assist you.

If you plan to use Skype, arrange to test-drive this technology sometime before the class. We will arrange to meet you in the "Conference Room" so that we don't have to take class time to do this. The beginning of your initial interview with Joy could be done with Skype, in the Conference Room. Joy can also talk with you directly on Skype.

How are the Workshops Arranged?

All of the workshops are taught in person. Four of the eight workshops are also taught as Teleconference Calls, entirely by phone.

All classes are taught by Joy Gardner.

The equivalent of a one-day workshop—for example, the Healing Voice Workshop—consists of four modules. Each is about 2 hours long.

These workshops may be taken in any order. We will continue until all four have been completed, then we'll start the series again (after a break).

Note: The workshop on Crystals & Aromatherapy--Balancing the Chakras may be taken through a series of seven videos that are each about one hour long. They combine short iMovies with Power Point Presentations. These are available for just $95 as a group of seven streaming one-hour iMovies on the Internet. The cost is $145 if you want to be certified (includes homework reports, 15 minutes of personal time with Joy, and this will meet the qualification for this workshop as part of the Vibrational Healing Certification Program) or $195 for the DVDs (includes all of the above). (If you later decide to take the same workshop in person, as part of the whole Vibrational Healing Certification Program, you will get a $75 discount.) Call 808 345-5838.

If you want to be Certified, the last three workshops must be taken in person. This can be done over a nine-day period in Hawaii (see Calendar and Fees). There are other Requirements for Certification.

How will the Teleconference classes work?

The workshops are limited to 12 participants, so there will be genuine interactiveness between participants and with Joy, so you will begin to build a community of Lightworkers. Early registration is advised; these workshops fill up quickly.

If you already missed the first or second or third workshop in the Vibrational Healing Program, don't worry; the workshops may be taken in any order (with some exceptions), and they will be taught again in the future.

In some cases, participants will work in pairs. This can be done by calling each other on the phone, or using Skype. Some of these diads will be done between classes, so expect to spend about 90 minutes doing "homework" each week, with a partner. You will, of course, be able to arrange a time that is mutually agreeable.

All of the techniques that are taught in the teleconference calls can be done by phone. In fact, one of the advantages of learning these techniques by phone is that you will feel confident about doing online or telephone consultations with your clients.

The method used for most of the classes will be as follows:

Whenever a specific technique is being taught (Spiritual Journeys; Cellular Consciousness; Past Life Regressions), this is the method we will use.

1st class: After introductions and explanations, Joy will demonstrate a technique on one of the participants. This will take one hour or longer.

2nd class: Participants will be paired off and then will go off on their own to practice the technique. One person will receive. (If both parties prefer to meet at a different time, they can do so. Students who have Skype will usually be paired with one another.)

3rd class: Participants will discuss their previous experiences and then go off on their own, with the same partner, to practice the technique. The other person will receive. (In future workshops you will probably be paired with someone else.)

4th class: Participants will discuss their previous experiences and Joy will answer questions and give further instructions.

Please note: My method of teaching most techniques is by first demonstrating the modality on one of the participants and giving everyone a script or written guideline to follow. After you have witnessed the technique, you will go off with a partner to practice on each other. This means that during the teleconference calls, the first night I will do a demonstration; the second and third nights you will practice on each other, after a brief review with me; the fourth night we will discuss your experiences and I will give further instructions. If you have an extreme need for privacy, this method of teaching may not be suitable for you.

Can I Make Up Classes that I Can't Attend?

Since these workshops are mostly experiential, it's best to be there. However, if you have to miss one or two classes, they will be recorded. We will provide you with a phone number, so you can listen to what you missed. However, these phone numbers will expire in a few weeks. Occasionally there are problems with the recordings, so we cannot guarantee that this will be reliable. Also classes can be made up later, when the series will be taught again. If you're not interested in being Certified, you're at choice about whether to attend. You can be Certified even if you miss just one complete workshop (with some exceptions).

Can I Speak to Joy personally? Can someone answer my questions?

Yes, enrolling for a workshop entitles you to an interview with Joy, and up to 15 minutes of private phone time with her. All the workshops will be taught by Joy, and you are encouraged to ask questions and make comments during the workshops. You can also ask questions by email, and they will be answered either by Joy or one of her assistants.

I'm interested in a workshop that already started. Can I join in the middle?

Perhaps you can. Email us and we can discuss it.

I'm not interested in the whole program. Can I just take one or two workshops?

Yes, but priority of enrollment is given to those who take the whole program.

What if I want to take a particular workshop, but I'm not available at the time it is being offered?

Email us and we can discuss it.

Does Joy still teach about herbs?

Yes. Joy's partner is a Naturopath and they are planning to do an herbal series. Email us and we'll put you on the Mailing List for this.

I have a group of six friends in various places and we would love to get together as a group and have Joy do a teleconference workshop for us. Would she consider that?

Email us and we can discuss it.

We have a group in Florida. Would Joy be willing to come out here to teach?

Yes, if we can agree on the details. Call or email us.

I know Joy does private sessions by phone, but could I hire her just to answer a bunch of questions? I know she is a font of knowledge for all kinds of things, including herbs and diet and lifestyle. I want to tap into her wisdom and just be able to ask questions -- kind of an informal Q & A session.

That would be fine. Joy's phone rate is $1 per minute. You can use that time for private sessions or questions or any way you want. For couples counseling she charges $1.50 per minute.

Discounts

There are discounts for early registration, and you get a $25 discount on future classes for every person you send to the workshop if they mention your name.

" I felt like a new person -- reborn during every phase of the workshop. I thought my heart was open and my Earth connection was strong and that I knew much of this material, but after experiencing Joy's program, I am now at a much deeper, higher level of feeling/being with the Earth, and expressing my love."
