What People Say
“Being able to use my new found skills and art of authentic listening to help others, has been such a rewarding career choice. I now get to make a difference "one person at a time" by guiding others through their own self discovery. I have joy in each day and love that I now have purpose. But the greatest gift in it is seeing others lives be enriched with greater awareness resulting in clarity, wellness, happiness and freedom.”

What People Say
“PTM gifts participants the understanding of who they are intrinsically and spiritually. As a result I have found that my clients are flourishing and happier. They achieve their dreams and want to make a lasting contribution in their world. I cannot think of any other career that had me wake up every day and say 'Yes, this is exactly where I am meant to be.' ”

Prerequisites
To enrol in the PTM Facilitator Training Program, you must first complete both Pathways to Mindfulness (the full 25-session program) and A Map for Transcendence (Russell Sturgess’ 16-session program). A Map for Transcendence provides a broad perspective on the spiritual journey, while Pathways to Mindfulness offers practical guidance for navigating the challenging phase often referred to as “the Dark Night of the Soul.”
Completing these two programs ensures you’ve personally engaged in the inner work before stepping into the role of facilitator. This lived experience forms a strong foundation, equipping you with a deep understanding of awareness, mindfulness, and spiritual awakening, so you can effectively support and inspire those you mentor.
In addition to gaining first-hand experience with the programs, it is recommended that participants have, as a minimum, the following foundational skills:
-
High school level numeracy and literacy
-
Basic computing skills
-
Basic application skills
What People Say
"Having personally experienced the benefits of the program, it is immensely rewarding to now be able to share it with others as a Mentor. The process allows you to be completely honest with yourself, and leaves you with knowledge and tools that you can use to live your life the way you want with clarity, happiness, wellness and freedom. It is truely an honour to help others experience the benefits of awareness."
