The footsteps of our lives are measured in ordinary moments. When we see each moment for what it is we can tread the path with wisdom. Practicing mindful awareness with the support of a partner allows us to develop the ability to see things clearly. Join us for this weekend retreat and see for yourself.
The six simple guidelines of Insight Dialogue create an interpersonal meditation practice that weaves together three elements — each powerful in itself — the cultivation of meditative awareness, the wisdom teachings of the Buddha (dharma), and the power of our natural relatedness. Insight Dialogue has the same purposes and roots as other meditation practices: developing mindfulness, compassion, and the release of liberating insight. The practice concentrates the power of relatedness in inclining us toward living our lives with awareness, wisdom, deep compassion and wise action. The retreat is meant for both new and experienced practitioners of Insight Dialogue.
On Saturday we will introduce and practice with the first four of the six guidelines of Insight Dialogue: PAUSE, RELAX, OPEN and ATTUNE TO EMERGENCE. On Sunday we will introduce the last two guidelines, LISTEN DEEPLY, and SPEAK THE TRUTH. The retreat will end when bring all the guidelines together in a final contemplation.
