Touching your Soul, Expanding Impact

Deepening Your Understanding

This program is for you if you want to deepen your understanding of the Three Principles and gain the confidence to share what has truly touched and transformed you.

We are proud to announce a 4-month online in-depth program inviting you to deepen your understanding of the Three Principles.
This program is a unique opportunity for anyone sharing the Three Principles professionally or informally.
A wide variety of experienced 3P professionals, who are committed to learning and sharing the Three Principles as revealed by Sydney Banks as purely as they can,
 will be facilitating this program.

Join us in September 2025

The Purpose of the Program:
This program will point you to a fuller understanding of the significance of the Three Principles. It will also enhance your certainty in sharing from your own insights, rather than relying on information you have learned. You will be impacted as you reflect on the connection between the spiritual nature of life and your personal experience of life. This program will increase your awareness of how a quiet mind naturally and consistently generates a flow of fresh ideas. As our grounding deepens, the feeling behind our work is more powerful. As we continually find inner quiet, our feeling naturally draws clients into increasingly quieter states of mind and a deeper recognition of their own wisdom. Our impact on others is enhanced as we and our clients gain confidence that our inner wisdom is always available to us, and always accessible from a quiet mind.

Lead Facilitators of the program

With warmth, wisdom, and decades of experience, 
Christine and Dicken will support you in deepening your grounding.

A message from Chris and Dicken

One of the biggest gifts in life is that every one of us is capable of having shifts in our level of understanding, And as a result, our lives effortlessly change and reflect greater well-being. What a joy to experience. What a joy to witness. This program is designed and taught by people who never get tired of this gift. We will do our best to point you within to the source of these shifts. We can’t wait to spend time with you as we all get more and more comfortable looking within and trusting wisdom to guide us through life and in helping others.

Program Mentors, Presenters and Facilitators

In addition to Chris and Dicken, this program is enriched by the presence of eight deeply experienced and cherished teachers from the 3PGC Board and Honorary Board. These teachers – many of whom were students of Sydney Banks and have spent decades sharing the Principles – will not only join as presenters, but will also take part in live demonstration sessions and group mentoring sessions.

Their involvement offers a rare opportunity to learn from those who have walked this path for many years, bringing a depth of insight, warmth, and love to each session. We feel incredibly grateful to have them as part of this journey!
