Experiencing the Relational Dharma in Insight Dialogue

Human beings are fully relational just as they are individual. Because the Dharma addresses the human experience of suffering and freedom, it, too, must be both fully relational and individual. This program will be an exploration of our living experience of the individual and relational manifestations of Dharma teachings on suffering and freedom, insight, the aggregates, dependent origination, the hindrances and factors of awakening, and the radiance of mind.

Program Format: This program will include multiple sessions of silent meditation daily, multiple sessions of Insight Dialogue, where practitioners engage in meditation that encompasses speaking and listening, and times of practice in nature. The program will be held in noble silence except when people are practicing Insight Dialogue.

Noble Silence:
