The two most frequently asked questions on Klyuchi: how to find a) your purpose and b) a soulful vocation that immediately brings in a lot of money.
If I answer about purpose that you don’t seek purpose, you follow it, then about making a lot of money right away, I’ll share my story: how quickly, in my case, the invested time and energy were returned…
📍In 2007, I began actively posting my translations of Archangel Michael’s messages through Celia Fenn. Around the same time, I started a newsletter on subscribe.ru called “Monthly Channelings and Forecasts,” where I posted translations of channels I respected.
📍A year and a half later, I miraculously flew to Berlin for a seminar with Celia Fenn to see how she worked, and if I liked it, to invite her for a seminar in Moscow.
I liked it. I invited her. See story 12 >>
📍We agreed that Celia Fenn would fly to Moscow in June 2009. She would purchase her own plane tickets. My responsibility was organizing the seminar in Moscow.
The flight from Cape Town to Moscow is expensive, so we decided to add two days for individual sessions with Archangel Michael, as other channels I knew had done.
Steve Rother always held a free evening meeting before his seminars. Free for participants, but not for organizers, because renting the hall, technical equipment, and interpreter services cost money.
📍We decided to follow the beaten path and hold a three-hour meeting the day before the seminar, with a minimal ticket price: “Peace and Abundance on the New Earth” with meditation and channeling from Archangel Michael.
Why not free?
Because I didn’t have my own funds to rent a hall at my own expense.
⚠️I had very little idea WHERE we would get such a huge amount of money to “recoup” the expenses: a visa for entering Russia, $2,000 for the flight, hall rental (over 140,000 rubles, ~$4,420 USD at 2009 rate), two weeks of hotel accommodation and meals for Celia and me (at that time I lived in Orel), operator services, decorating the hall with fresh flowers, and much more…
What stressed me out the most was the colossal financial responsibility — towards the speaker and the seminar participants.
📍Celia Fenn turned out to be very undemanding in terms of personal requests. But she had requirements for the seminar venue: plenty of space in the hall and the ability to go out into nature for ceremonies.
Live nature in Moscow?! Near the metro so participants could get there easily?!
After going through all the affordable options, my co-organizer Danila and I settled on the Izmailovo hotel complex — there’s a park nearby and plenty of places to eat during breaks.
We arranged the visa through a travel company. We agreed on a prepayment for the hall and hotel. We posted announcements on forums and my personal website about Celia’s arrival.
The two-day seminar was called “Radiating Diamond Light.” The program included opening the Heart of Unconditional Love and manifesting the Golden Flame of Christ Consciousness and the Diamond Light of Ascension. The participation fee was 6,800 rubles (~$215 USD).
Tickets could be purchased in Moscow (Danila handled this) or by sending money to me in Orel.
By my rough calculations, 40 seminar participants would allow us to cover the organizational expenses.
Plus two days of individual sessions — that’s 8 people per day at $250 per session + $50 for interpretation if needed.
My fears turned out to be unfounded… I was supported by so many people, you just can’t imagine.
Advice on organizing the seminar, help with photo/video shooting, volunteer registration of participants, and the cherry on top — an invitation for the whole team to a restaurant at the sponsor’s expense 😉 Colossal support from like-minded people!
The day of Celia’s arrival came. We bought roses and went to meet her at the airport.
The dark-haired woman, tired after a long flight, saw me in the arrivals hall, lit up with a smile, and said: I was flying and thinking, what if no one meets me and there’s no seminar at all? What to do in that case?
And right then it hit me — what an adventure she had agreed to?! Russia — a country where bears roam Red Square 😆
P.S. As the seminar organizer and translator, I earned just over 70,000 rubles (~$2,210 USD). And before that — 2.5 years of volunteer work… That’s how it goes!
