As a trained spiritual director and retreat leader, Ruth is able to create an oasis in the midst of your busy lives. Each gathering is designed to nourish and replenish the soul of your leadership.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Who can watch the <em>Online Oasis<\/em>?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Our Online Oases are available for all. Our content is relevant for any Christian who wants to grow in spiritual formation and leadership &#8211; clergy, laity, coaches, non-profit leaders, and anyone who enjoys learning and encountering God.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Will there be a Q&amp;A time during the <em>Online Oasis<\/em>?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Yes! We encourage you to ask Ruth and any presenter a question that will serve both you and the larger community that is gathered. We will remind you during the <em>Oasis<\/em> to use the Q&amp;A feature in Zoom to ask your questions. While we can&#8217;t answer every question, we do our best to ensure that many voices are heard throughout the Q&amp;A session.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Will the <em>Online Oasis<\/em> be recorded?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Typically yes; the <em>Online Oasis<\/em> will be recorded and all registered participants will receive a link to view the recording, usually the same day of the event.\u00a0 We encourage you to register before the day of the event so that if there are any issues with registering, we can assist you. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally, we may offer a free or <strong>live-only<\/strong> <em>Online Oasis.<\/em> In these cases, we will indicate up front if the recording will be available after the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>May I share the recording?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>The recording is available only to those who have registered and paid for the content. The link we share with you provides access to exclusive content that has been paid for. Please do not share this link with others, as it is intended for your use only. Your understanding and respect in this matter is greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Will I get the names of the resources shared in the <em>Online Oasis<\/em>?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>We do our best to share the names of all resources (books, poems, sites, etc.) in the followup email with the recording. When slide presentations are used, we will include them as well.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>I registered, but I didn&#8217;t receive the link.<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>You should have received an email with the subject line: &#8220;Registration Confirmation | Online Oasis with Ruth Haley Barton&#8221; which had your receipt and the Zoom information. Please check your spam folder and reach out to <a href=\"mailto:hello@transformingcenter.org\">hello@transformingcenter.org<\/a> if you still cannot find it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Can I purchase a past recording? <\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Yes! Past recordings are available for purchase <a href=\"https:\/\/transformingcenter.org\/online-oasis\/past-events\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Help!  I&#8217;m having problems logging in. <\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Email <a href=\"mailto:hello@transformingcenter.org\">hello@transformingcenter.org<\/a> and we will do our best to help you. Each <em>Online Oasis<\/em> opens 15 minutes before the start time, so we encourage you to log in a little early in case there are technological issues.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>What is the group rate?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Groups of 3-5 attendees receive 20% off the registration fee, and groups of 6+ attendees receive 30% off.  In the <em>Online Oasis<\/em> registration, please select the number of additional participants you would like to register. Please make sure to enter the names and emails of all group members so that each person receives a Zoom link.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Does my group have to watch the oasis together, or can we all watch separately? <\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Everyone that is registered will receive an email. If someone registers a group and provides an email for each person, everyone will receive the Zoom information the morning of the event. The person who paid for the group will receive the Zoom information with the receipt. We suggest saving the Zoom link so that it can be forwarded to others in the group if necessary (sometimes emails end up in the spam folder).<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Combining education and practice, Ruth Haley Barton and the Transforming Center team are offering an Online Oasis &#8211;\u00a0 live online learning events about topics that are important for the spiritual&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18617","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.2 (Yoast SEO v26.2) -
