The gift of being heard supports our […]

Living Dharma
With Rosalie Dores and Ayya Anopama
As human beings subject to birth, ageing, sickness and death, how can we live in a way that leads to happiness?

La pratique du Dialogue Conscient nous met en relation directe avec la beauté et la complexité du monde interrelationnel.

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 […]
