Pa Maria’s also offers secure video and phone consultations, ensuring flexibility beyond traditional face-to-face meetings.
Pa Maria’s encrypted video communication platform is used for spiritual direction, supervision, and retreats.
People’s location no longer prevents them from participating in a retreat, supervision or spiritual direction. Using encrypted video communication means global services are as accessible as local services.
Meeting by encrypted video conferencing is just like meeting in person with people attending from the comfort of their home or office.
For those seeking services, there is
- no travel time
- no travel cost
- ease of access, particularly for those hindered by rural isolation or disability.
Freedom from location constraints opens up multiple convenient time zones for people to meet.
Conversation technology
Desktop systems are best used with a USB microphone and, for privacy, earphones or ear buds.
For optimal conversations, we recommend:
- A computer with preferably with an external USB microphone, in-ear sound, and a computer preferably connected to the Internet by Ethernet cable as opposed to Wi-Fi.
- Apple iPhone and iPad with USB connected, combined microphone and in-ear sound. (We are not saying that other mobile operating systems do not work. We have only tried using iOS.)
Privacy is Paramount
Pa Maria’s video conferencing service guarantees people can talk confidently about personal matters.
Pa Maria uses encryption standards that enable the delivery of quality care.
You do not need to do anything to enjoy this level of protection; just leave it to Pa Maria.
The online services Pa Maria uses protect conversations between clients and their service providers against reasonably anticipated threats or hazards, and ensure that the integrity of highly personal conversations can be maintained online.
