Stages of training
1. Studying each seminar and its reference bibliography
All parts of the seminar are read and discussed, seeking to understand the reasons behind certain practices and the purpose of its organisation. This takes place on the first day. On the second day, participants study a training topic drawn from the book on the Teaching Methods of Transcendental Art and undertake practical work in nonviolence and self-liberation.
3. Discussing and synthesising the experience
The final discussion is not improvised: it is based on analysing the information collected and the experiences gained. The topics discussed include:
a. inner reactions and the activity of one's consciousness (personal history, sensations, expectations)
b. group dynamics and participants' personalities
c. rhythms and cycles of attention
d. personal and structural improvements and changes to be made
The first stage consists of two days, totalling approximately 20 hours of work. The second stage involves approximately 40 hours of teaching practice and eight hours of evaluation. Each month therefore includes 68 hours of study, teaching and evaluation.
All training sessions include meals and accommodation.
