Insight Dialogue Group.

August Schedule: Thursdays, 7:30 p.m. - 9 p.m., August 2nd, 9th, 16th, & 23rd

Insight Dialogue is an interpersonal meditation practice that evokes our capacity to awaken out of habit into shared presence. We practice Insight Dialogue by listening and speaking as we contemplate topics that are central to Buddhist teachings. Simple guidelines support us as we meditate together, opening to the truth of both words and silence, bringing mindfulness and tranquility into our interactions with others.
