Fim de semana três is the last of a series of 3 weekend trainings that are designed as continuing education for already authorized Meditation Instructors, as well as meditation practitioners who are interested in developing as Meditation Instructors. Each weekend is designed to support those interested in sharing the practice of meditation with others to cultivate the understanding and skills to assist others along their meditation path.

Fim de semana três includes a Saturday overview of mental health, meditação, and the role of the Meditation Instructor tailored for people who are not mental health experts. Presenters will address the following topics: 

• An overview of therapeutic modalities in contrast to meditation
• The role of meditation
• When to refer patients for mental health support

Sunday will focus on investigating the personal journey of a Meditation Instructor framed in terms of the four dignities of meek, alegre, outrageous, and inscrutable. Topics that will be addressed are:

• Modesty, while at the same time the development of confidence
• Maintaining lungta and offering that to our local communities
• Community building across the Meditation Instructor community—how can we help and support each other and mentor new MIs
