RC Webinars
DESCRIPTION
“RC Webinars” are RC classes led on Zoom by some of our leaders on important issues for the International Community. They will be held monthly (now twice a month) and be one and a half to two hours long—with theory, mini-sessions (randomly assigned), and demonstrations of counseling. We anticipate a large audience and so they will not be very interactive (though people may submit questions via the chat box—the leader may or may not have time to answer).
We will charge for the webinar, on a sliding scale from $0 to $25; they will be treated as a Regional Gather-in for financial accounting (Form 400A). Each webinar will have worked out a method for payment. You must register and pay for each one separately through the webinar organizer, not through RCCR.
You will need a Reference Person's approval to attend.
When possible the leader will offer the webinar twice on the same day, or in the same couple of days, once in the morning and once in the evening, to make it as accessible as possible for different time zones. If not offered twice, Regions for whom the webinar was inaccessible can contact the leader and offer to organize a second time.
If a Community wants to organize interpreting for the webinar, we may extend the length a bit. Please notify the organizer of the webinar in advance so that we may plan for interpreting.
Registration for the webinars should be done through the Registration link rather than by emailing the organizer.
We’ve listed all times in east coast USA (EDT or EST—depending on whether it is daylight savings time [EDT] or standard time [EST]) and some other time zone. If time zones are confusing to you and you want to convert to your time zone, I find this Time Zone Converter useful. You can put in New York City (east coast USA) and then your city, and it will tell you the time the webinar will happen in your time zone.
Information for webinar organizers is found here.
We're still filling out the schedule, keep checking back.

February 12, 2023, “How Young people’s liberation is liberation for YOU at this current moment in history”--This is a one-time class where Jenny will be talking about young people’s liberation as YOUR/OUR liberation. What we can learn about fun and closeness, by being allies to young people especially during these times as we face the climate crisis, pandemic and systematic racism. As allies we will need to be skillful and strategic in using the counseling process to fight for ourselves, remembering our own love of life and our connection to humans of all ages. There will be theory presentations, demonstrations of counseling, and mini sessions.
