Spirituality/Enlightenment/Nondual Apprenticeships Megathread

[kieranperez]

Want to create a megathread for those who are really committed to this path and could really use help with some assistance from a master. Would like this thread to be made focused specifically on apprenticeships NOT intensives, workshops, etc. 

I only know of a few to get this started: 

• Peter Ralston’s Apprenticeship: http://chenghsin.com/apprentice-program-consciousness.html
• Peter Ralston’s 3 Month Program: http://chenghsin.com/workshop-threemonthtraining.html
• San Francisco Zen Center: http://sfzc.org/tassajara/zen-practice-and-training-at-tassajara/work-and-stay/apprenticeship-programs/work-practice-apprenticeships

Peter is someone you can email with questions. These people are available. I couldn’t believe the first time I emailed him, I heard back in less than a day. 

I personally am not much of a fan of the San Francisco Zen Center but that’s more because I live 3 blocks from it and quite frankly I’m tired of it here in the city and I know that the Zen Center here can’t really be all it can be because it has to play nice within an Orange city (also Green but SFZC is located in a very densely Orange part of SF) and put on a very tame and cute Stage agreement welcoming community. However, I hear that the apprenticeship itself (which you can take quite far in duration and depth) is much different. Also, it’s free.
