We will be meeting via Zoom. This is a free video conferencing and communication service that can be accessed from most devices (laptops, tablets, and smartphones). All you need is a distraction-free environment, a device with a camera, and a good WiFi or unlimited data.

Zoom also offers participants the option to join the meeting via phone rather than video.

Please be aware that some “work” devices have filtering software running that may prevent Zoom from working properly on those devices. If you plan you use your work-issued device, you will probably want to test to make sure the service works properly prior to the meetup.

Setup and login information will be emailed to you prior to the session.

No. This is a live session only.

There are a few reasons for this. The two most important are privacy and connection. I want these meetups to be a safe place for people to learn, listen, and share their experiences without fear they will end up being shared or viewed somewhere they don’t know about.

Second, one of the perks of attending an event like this is the opportunity to connect with others who are walking the same road you are on. You can’t make those connections with others by watching a replay. You also lose the ability to be present in the conversations, ask questions and fully engage the group.  I want all participants to be able to experience those things, so the sessions will only be offered live.

 

By default, your camera will be turned on when you first log into the session. You may leave it on or turn it off as you wish during the session. People naturally connect with each other better when we can see each other and talk face to face, so I recommend leaving it on.

If video conferencing isn’t an option for you, Zoom offers all participants the option to call in and join by phone. 

If you registered to join us, you should have received the session access information via email.  If you haven’t received it yet, check your “spam”, promotions, or other folders to make sure it didn’t accidentally end up there. If you still can’t find it, shoot me an email at diana@serenitylinks.com and I’ll send it again.
