Rejuvenating Retreat for Dhamma School Facilitators

From 22 to 24 October, 24 facilitators and volunteers from Nalanda Dhamma School gathered at Wisdom Park for their annual retreat to spiritually recharge. With the theme of “Good Hearted Friends”, the facilitators enhanced their skills in communication, facilitating learning, lesson planning and mindfulness training to improve themselves as educators, while spending quality time with their good friends.

Team spirit among the facilitators were uplifted as they shared experiences as well as exchanged ideas and approaches on what had worked well for them in guiding Dhamma School students, and how they could improve on their competency. Facilitators expressed gratitude and support for each other, knowing well the challenging but fulfilling role they hold.

At the end of the retreat, facilitators were fully energised and committed to serve and contribute towards Buddhist education for another meaningful year. We rejoice in the positivity and service attitudes of our Dhamma School facilitators who have been helping children and teenagers learn morals and values in accordance to the Buddha’s teachings. Sadhu anumodana!
