This eight-week online program is an opportunity for people who self-identify as LGBTQIA+ to come together as sangha to learn and practice Insight Dialogue.
Insight Dialogue is a whole life meditation practice designed to help us be awake in our everyday lives, particularly as we engage in the complexity of interpersonal relationship. It brings together meditative awareness, the wisdom teachings of the Buddha, and the power of relationship to develop mindfulness, compassion, and insight. In this program we will be bringing wakeful awareness into the heart of speaking and listening, supported by the six Insight Dialogue guidelines. These guidelines help establish and sustain meditative qualities while contemplating the dharma in dialogue together, supporting inquiry and insight into present moment experience. Each week we will practice together as a large group and also in small breakout groups of pairs and threes.
It is our intention to cultivate a deep and nourishing experience of refuge in LGBTQIA+ sangha as we move through these eight weeks together.
