This Nondual Teacher and Therapist Training is designed for people who wish to expand and refine their capacity to offer nondual awareness as a component of their teaching, coaching or psychotherapy with individuals or groups.
The Nondual Teacher and Therapist Training is based on the synthesis of Asian nondual approaches that has been developed by Peter Fenner. Peter’s approach has been refined and tested over 35 years by thousands of people in workshops, courses and retreats. His synthesis draws on the most powerful aspects of traditions such Madhyamika, Dzogchen, Mahamudra, Zen and Advaita. These are woven into a form of space creation and facilitation that is refined, minimalist, smooth, and very efficient in the delivery of the pure nondual contentless transmission in an interactive group setting.
A dynamic learning environment
The Training is unique in bringing together people from diverse nondual traditions and lineages. Together we create a synergistic dynamic that radically enhances everyone’s capacity to embody and share nondual awareness within their clients, communities and beyond. The framework for the Training is based on the form of nondual transmission that has been developed by Peter. This framework provides a model and set of distinctions for discerning the subtleties of nondual transmission. The framework is elaborated in a 320 page book prepared for the Training.
The Training is not limited to this framework. You will share and demonstrate your own experiments and learning with others in the Training. You will refine your capacity for nondual transmission through fieldwork in which you share nondual awareness through dialogs and contemplation with people outside of the Training. You will learn through your own active engagement and focused feedback from Peter and other participants. The Training is thoroughly experiential. Together we create a depth of immersion in nondual transmission that is unparalleled.

- Four individual coaching sessions with Peter.

- Requirements
Acceptance into the course is through an online application form. If we have any questions about an application, we will arrange a telephone interview. In the Training you are required to work with a group of your own. This can be an informal group of friends you bring together on a regular basis to engage in nondual work. It could be a select group of clients who are ready for nondual transmission. It could be a group of professional colleagues who work together to explore the parameters of nonduality in therapy. It may be a sangha or community you are already guiding in meditation, dharma or satsang. If you don’t already have an existing group we will help you establish this.

I actually attended Peter Fenner's "Radiant Mind" workshop nearly three years ago, then followed by these teleconferences with other participants as well as one on one telephone talks with those whom he designated for it(the second was in fact his rather recently married second wife, a French woman, rather engaging but whose English pronunciation made understanding as often as not impossible to comprehend; clear communication was all the more difficult, so we wound up talking about the "mundane" world to get around this).
ReplyDeleteI can only say that the money invested(at the time about $2,200 NOT including any room or board either)only resulted in a one to two day experience of consciousness which I experienced ONLY in the first session there, which is understandable in a group setting where "nothing" happens.
But there was only disappointment the second time quite likely from my hope or expectation that I could re-experience the same phenomenon again. Sound all too familiar???
Hope the above may be of value to ambitious, aspiring "non dual gurus" out there :-)
Thanks for informing your readership about the new enlightenment seminars. Please let everyone know that I will teach them how to be non-dual for half the $3,200 price offered by the source you listed, and they won't even have to leave their homes. All enrollees will receive a special non-dual patch (see attached file) to sew on their shirts, certifying that they are in fact not two. Graduates will also be also eligible to attend my advanced "30 year student" symposium for only $2,000 -- a 30% discount off the normal price.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Ed. Be well.

I hope this post was just a joke from your side Ed ... if not, what can i say? PAY AND GET ENLIGHTENED......
ReplyDeleteare we humans truly falling down so much?
No joke. We are seeing the triumph of capitalism. As you can see other teachers are rushing in to offer enlightenment at discount prices. Soon it will be down to $800 and enlightenment and authentication patches will be available to all!
ReplyDeleteYep, and sooner than we can imagine, we'll be witness to the sales pitch that the purest, most unconditioned form of "The Advaita Advantage" is available without even a down payment. Who could refuse such an offer!
