FPMT Teacher Development Service Seminar

This Teacher Development Service Seminar (TDSS) marks a new stage in training and support for FPMT Dharma teachers and prospective teachers. Rooted in nearly a decade of collaborative development —beginning with the first TDSS in 2017—this iteration builds on refined pedagogy, flexible delivery formats, and emerging best practices. The 2026 TDSS incorporates fresh feedback and evolving priorities, including strong support for emerging teachers, contemporary educational approaches, and a thoughtful balance between lineage fidelity and accessibility. 

This TDSS combines online and in-person learning. A blend of self-paced online modules and residential sessions provides greater flexibility and innovative learning pathways while preserving the integrity of the Dharma and the value of in-person learning.

This 23-26 sept. live seminar is an immersive, community-based learning experience featuring teachings, discussions, hands-on practicum sessions, and reflective practice.

Both Annelies and Andy are senior FPMT teachers who have undertaken extensive study, practice and retreat. They are known for their commitment to preserving authentic lineage while making the teachings relevant to contemporary life.
