The programme
aims to:
· Deepen
one's understanding of the dharma through inquiry, meditation,
interactive group processes, discussion and dharma talks;
· Promote group facilitation skills to apply
to whatever sphere of life one is engaged in;
·
Provide a supportive sangha (community) to deepen friendships,
cultivate wisdom and enable insights to flourish;
·
Present sutta study with the intention of transforming the sometimes
complicated suttas into direct intuitive realisation;
·
Encourage compassionate action based on profound wisdom and understanding.
The Dharma Facilitators
Programme was initially developed by Christopher Titmuss in the
UK, Europe and Israel. Radha Nicholson and Christopher Titmuss
facilitated the first round of the programme (DFP1) in Australia
in 2006/2007. The new series, DFP4, begins in March 2010. This
will be facilitated by Radha Nicholson, assisted by Will James.
Christopher Titmuss will be available to co-facilitate the third
session of the new series. Participants are asked to attend a
series of three programmes within a twelve month period. The
first session is in March, the second in July and the third in
December. At times there may also be guest presenters by invitation.
Participants will be invited to explore specific readings and
reflections between each session.
Places are limited
and the minimum entry requirement for the programme is 2-3 years
experience of meditation practice / Dharma / Yoga etc.
