Endorsements
Peter Fenner’s capacity to listen deeply and respond perfectly is unparalleled in my experience with spiritual teachers. As if by magic he is able to point out the tangled assumptions that are opaque to us, and without any judgment or arrogance reveal the way to greater ease and realization. His style is simple yet profound, and lovingly sensitive. If you wish some help in freeing yourself from suffering – in any realm of your life, or help in realizing the clear, joyous nature of your original being, this man can be trusted.

Peter brings exceptional clarity and perceptivity to the challenge of helping people awaken to “unconditioned mind” — our true nature. His Radiant Mind program builds on his many years of deep personal investigation into the subject. He makes the wisdom of the non-dual accessible in a down-to-earth manner without any religious trappings — and he does so with wit and charm.

I am fortunate enough to have taken Peter’s Nondual Teacher and Therapist Training course in 2010-2011. This course transformed my life by immersing me in the experience of nondual awareness and empowering me to share this with others. Peter is not only a master of nondual transmission he has also mastered how to share this wonderful gift with others. The course is a remarkable model of how much can be learned and even done with such effortless joy. I was also amazed by the powerful impact of Peter’s personal coaching during the course, as he revealed and dissolved previously unseen identity limitations. Through Peter’s course and the incredibly loving support of my fellow students, I have been inspired and enabled to share nondual awareness more widely and deeply than I ever imagined possible.

Peter Fenner helped me taste the end of my spiritual path. Peter not only effectively points you to Nonduality so, you can not only taste it but drink from it all the time. He also practically teaches you how to effectively teach others. My first introduction to Peter was thanks to Dr. O. Carl Simonton with whom we studied the book “Radiant Mind: Awakening Unconditional Awareness.” The similarities between the Simonton’s approach in our work with cancer patients and Peter’s teachings were great so, the convergence and application was natural. The intimate Peter’s teachings (including Radiant Mind CD recordings) and I could personally experience Ultimate Healing what I had been reading about and chasing for over 20 years. In his 10-month Nondual Teacher and Therapist Training® Peter Fenner points to Nonduality with precision, clarity, unconditioned presence, and with spontaneous sense of humor that adds lightness to his teachings. Furthermore, he is very skilled at teaching the contentless transmission, so we can effortlessly unify it in our personal lives and when working with others. He convivially teaches us to dance with the paradoxes and effectively utilizes participants’ cognitive powers to lead us beyond the limits of the conceptual mind. We practically learn anything the teacher needs to master from setting the atmosphere of the encounter to conducting deconstruction and unfindability inquiry. We even learn how to recognize slippage and glitches in the flow of our work and how to manage the gradient of non-dual transmission. He teaches how to rather reveal than describe Nonduality to people we work with. Through his training one becomes immersed in an international Sangha of dedicated and skillful Nondual teachers that reinforces learning. The accompanying manual for Nondual Teacher and Therapist Training complements what you learn in workshops as well as group and individual supervision, and is a solid support for any teacher and therapist. So, I give Peter Fenner the strongest endorsement possible that, as my gratitude to his transmission, cannot be expressed in words.

Coming to Peter Fenner’s teaching after years of Japanese Zen monastic training, I delight in his transmission of nondual awareness in a natural and appropriate way for our times. Peter goes to the heart of the matter and speaks and writes from the source with precision. Far from offering an escape route or disengagement from our everyday lives, his teaching illuminates the intricacy of our conditioned awareness from the openness of Radiant Mind. One of the greatest benefits of Peter’s programs is that he fosters powerful and sustaining community to arise and support each other in ongoing connection. He has made an enormous contribution toward bringing all beings to clarity and equanimity. I am profoundly grateful.

Peter is an exemplary guide in the offering of non-dual awareness. He is the creator of the Radiant Mind program and a pioneer in the field of non-dual therapy. It has been a great privilege to evolve and blossom as a non-dual practitioner under his guidance during the 9-month Radiant Mind program at University of British Columbia, Vancouver (2010-2011). I have greatly appreciated his style of teaching as being impressively methodical, graceful and precise.

‘Peter Fenner is an extraordinary Guide in human consciousness and unconditioned awareness. He makes the profound insights of the East accessible to the contemporary Western mind. In his simple and loving approach, he takes you straight to the heart of your consciousness and guides you in breaking through your own created obstacles in your mind. In his authenticity and wisdom, Peter is an example that unconditioned awareness is always readily available to us in our everyday life.’

Quite simply: Peter Fenner’s Radiant Mind work creates the conditions for participants to actualize nondual awareness. Then, experiencing the byproducts of resting in nondual awareness (spaciousness, equanimity, unknowingness, etc), participants experientially connect with how they fear losing IT, or upon thinking they lost IT, try to regain IT. Experiencing Peter’s powerful, yet gentle, deconstructive methods are a must for anyone interested in nonduality. I guarantee that even the most sophisticated nondual learner will be taken to new levels (where levels are irrelevant, of course) with Peter’s innovative work!

I have had the privilege of having Peter as a teacher in both the Radiant Mind Training as the Advanced Nondual Teacher Training. His way of teaching is both precise and wonderfully spacious. I have seldom received teachings in this wide open way. It is as if Peter is teaching at different levels at the same time; providing his students with information about the Buddhist (especially Dzogchen ) tradition and at the same time giving a transmission of the highest quality. Following his trainings has been a life changing experience for me and his work never ceases to inspire me. Meeting Peter is meeting a truly great teacher who knows how to bring together the depth of realizing Nondual Awareness and intriguing ways of communicating that. He has deeply moved me in the way he is dedicated to this work and his students and i am grateful for the continuing collaboration and friendship.

Peter Fenner transmits the wisdom of nondualism directly through his presence and his penetrating insight. In the Radiant Mind course and in his teacher training courses, students are given a myriad of brilliantly designed opportunities to develop the skill of experiencing, presencing, and transmitting unconditioned awareness. After more than 30 years of practicing and teaching yoga and meditation, finding and working with Peter has been, for me, profoundly transforming and the end of all seeking. Peter’s teaching is practical and leads to “waking up” in the midst of habitual, conditioned ways of being, thinking and behaving. Working with Peter has enabled me to use all of the circumstances of my life as openings into ultimate healing, the ultimate medicine of unconditioned awareness. The great gift of Peter’s teaching has effected not only my moment-to-moment awareness, but touches everyone in my life. I deeply appreciate and highly recommend Peter as a teacher, coach, and spiritual mentor.

It is over seven years since my first experience with Peter Fenner in a workshop. He listened in profound stillness to a question I asked on being and existing. Then he spoke on this to all of us in the meeting room, after which he looked at me, seemingly intensely, while I steadily held his view. After a long silence he said, “I´m not looking at you“. As he continued looking at me I experienced the greatest relief ever in my life, for there was nothing for me to know and nothing to do, all obligation was gone, I was free! Later I realized that he and I, our selves had become ONE. In Peter’s transmission there is no so-called “spiritual by-passing“ as he is deeply in tune with whomever he is talking to. The atmosphere is calm, timeless, explicit, and infinite space opens up through a warmth and love that´s imbued by his fine sense of humor. This is how he presences unconditioned awareness. Peter’s simple suggestion of “just sitting“ can produce an extraordinary experience of being. In his teaching he begins at the result level. We don´t need to strain ourselves not to think, we fully and simply appreciate the way we are. Our thoughts and silent conversations are our friends and not adversaries. We begin where we want to be, at the result level of presencing non-dual awareness, the contentless, centerless no-thing that is not nothing. Here we inhabit the unconditioned world of compassion and love beyond comparative and competing, values and judgments. With Peter’s support we discover how to seamlessly integrate effortless meditation into our daily lives. Peter has written two beautiful books on his current work. “The Edge of Certainty“ embraces the paradoxes in Buddhism with breath-taking clarity. “Radiant Mind: Awakening Unconditioned Awareness“, is simple to read despite its profundity. The latter is complemented by 7 CDs where you discover an intimate connection with Peter, even feeling that he´s in the room with you. I highly recommend these. His websites also provide numerous inspiring articles: all in different ways exploring the “no-thing” of Buddhist wisdom that Peter so easily transmits. His team of coaches headed up by Marie Barincou also strongly empower his work. Join us and enjoy. Tom Rotmann, Saarbruecken, Germany

Peter is unique, and I have not seen teachings in his specific area of wisdom with such a depth, clarity and richness. Peter shares generously in his writing and in person from his long and deep experience and is an advanced and excellent coach and facilitator. His transmission is authentic, crisp and truly contagious. With an immediate sense and timing, he mirrors what is essentially in birthing. The Nondual Advanced Training prepared me for sharing presence in new ways in my professional role, as a meditation teacher and in living life. I warmly recommend Peter as guide and teacher, especially where the appreciation of the unexpected, deconstruction of limiting patterns and deeply liberating and enlightening dialogues are in the foreground.

Peter’s profoundly insightful teachings and training course (“Radiant Mind”, and “Natural Awakening: Advanced Nondual Training”) are of immesurable value to anyone interested in going beyond conventional approaches to spiritual and psychological transformation. His radically clear stlyle of communication and discernment, combined with illuminating and compasionate presence, are a pwerful conduit to the rediscover our true nature to which he’s able to bring students and participants with effortlessness and precision. Peter’s courses are very well organized, extensive in both theoretical and practical approaches, well supported by different levels of assistance, creative, innovative, engaging, stimulating and most importanly transformative.I highly reccomend them and extremely happy to have been part of them! Working and studying with Peter has not only profoundly impacted my personal life but also greatly enhanced my professional practice in psychotherapy. I continue to be moved, inspired and amazed by the effect that working with Peter has had on my life. I will be forever grateful for his teachings and presence in my life. With much appreciation, thank you Peter!

I had the great fortune to work with Peter for a 9 month Non-dual Teacher Training. During that period I watched my own conditioned way of being dissolve just by being in his presence. In the connections we had in person and by phone he was able to clear away perceived obstacles and help me to see more clearly my true self and my place in this world. I am grateful for his ability to transmit a wise and loving presence. Thanks Peter.
