Insight Dialogue Day-long Retreat
With Gregory Kramer and Janet Surrey
January 24, 2015
Insight Dialogue is an interpersonal meditation practice. Based in Vipassana meditation, it brings the mindfulness and tranquility of traditional silent meditation practice into our interactions with others through dialogue. Instructions will introduce Insight Dialogue meditation guidelines step-by-step and guide participants into contemplation.
Meditating with others in a fully-engaged relational practice supports the heart and mind into deep relaxation and opening in recognition of this shared human experience. In this retreat, we will inquire together into the nature of suffering in relationship and touch the possibility of awakening together. We will investigate obstacles to mindfulness and cultivate the factors of awakening: mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration and equanimity.
Experiencing the power of meditation together can accelerate insight, wisdom and compassion.
