The Vianna in Russia teams
The team that works with us during seminars, is selected by a joint decision of both the hosts and THInK. Normally anyone who wants to be part of the team will apply before a certain date to the hosts, who will in turn provide the persons details to THInK for approval.
Roles definition:
** Co-hosts ** : the team of Natalia Lapshicheva and her husband Craig Koekemoer, who are responsible for the entire series of seminars.
** Interpreters ** : are responsible for making sure that any information is interpreted from English into the language that they are responsible for, and then back to English when required.
** Support Team ** : are those who help the hosts with various tasks, from translations, to providing various specific skills sets that are useful to the team.
** Teaching Assistants ** : are ThetaHealers who help to manage the admin process of contracts, waivers, certificates and general management of group requirements. A teaching assistant will normally be allocated to a specific group.
** Supporting Teaching Assistants ** : are there to help teaching assistants with the functions and admin required for a specific group.
Please note that at no point does anyone on these teams act as a personal assistant to Vianna Stibal...
Did you know that none of the positions on the teams are paid positions. Everyone who works as part of the teams, volunteer some of their own free time to provide a service to ThetaHealers who come to the seminars. The only paid positions are some of the interpreters, such as the main event interpreter for the Russians. We operate a swap / barter system, where sometimes instead of being paid for providing a professional service, the payment will be waived in favour of something else in exchange.
