Nondual Teacher and Therapist Training

Sharing the ultimate medicine.

The Nondual Teacher and Therapist Training is designed for people who wish to expand and refine their capacity to offer nondual awareness as the central dimension of their teaching, or as a component of their work with individuals and groups. It is for spiritual teachers, dharma and meditation instructors, facilitators and therapists; and those who are poised to share nonduality with others.

The Nondual Teacher and Therapist Training is based on the synthesis of Asian nondual approaches that has been developed by Peter Fenner. This 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.

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 own communities and beyond.

Participants share, demonstrate and enrich each other’s learning by contributing their own forms of nondual work. The training creates dynamic opportunities for participants to refine their capacities for nondual transmission through demonstrations of different styles, skills and movements of nondual transmission. Participants learn through their own active engagement and focused feedback from Peter and other’s in the Training. The Training is thoroughly experiential. We create a quality of collaborative wisdom that is unparalleled.

Radiant Mind

Our core offering is a 9 month course called Radiant Mind. The course addresses the fixations—beliefs, reactions, and habits—that produce and perpetuate suffering at a personal level. The course shows people how to dissolve and “see though” the obstacles to peace and freedom, without needing to radically change the circumstances of their lives.

We cultivate nondual presence in a natural way, that’s integrated with the complexities of daily commitments. This opens the way for every aspect and dimension of our existence becomes a unique expression of freedom and transcendence. Radiant Mind arises when unconditioned awareness radiates through the totality of our conditioned existence. When we live in radiant mind we experience ourselves as a unique human being, at the same time resting in a unified expanse of centerless and boundless awareness.

Radiant Mind blends the liberating power of nondual wisdom with the intimacy and psychological depth we find in Western counseling and therapy. We combines the ultimate view of Asia’s most refined nondual traditions and the finely honed skills of Western psychology.

The course works at the “result level.” We reveal unconditioned awareness through a process of incisive inquiry and natural contemplation. We do nothing more, and nothing less, than what is required to rest confidently in the radiance of pure being. We accomplish this through refined forms of contemplative inquiry that leading us directly into the space of spontaneously arising, nondual presence.

This course itself is based on workshops, group conference calls, paired process—by telephone and/or in person, audio resources including guided contemplations, readings, and individual mentoring and coaching calls. In Radiant Mind there’s no need to take time out from worldly commitments or go into long-term retreat. We create many opportunities each week for people to rest in pure awareness, and have this infuse their lives.

The sublime purity of transcendent insight is identical with the natural spontaneous purity of the countless configurations that present themselves as the universe in all its multidimensionality.

We offer regular weekend Radiant Mind workshops for new people, and for past pasticipants to refresh their experience and gain deeper access to pure awareness. We also offer telecalls as an easy way for people to gain their first taste the Radiant Mind approach. There are also various groups in North America, Europe and Australia that meet regularly to rest in awareness and become more familiar with this state. A number of counselors are also available to guide and coach people in this approach to psychological and spiritual fulfillment.
