Mindful Dialogue

Mindful dialogue is a relational meditation practice: it helps to bring the insights and wisdom of our personal meditation into our interactions with others.

In this 6-week program we practice to be more present in our contacts and communication. To speak with clarity and kindness. And to listen deeply. To ourselves and to others.

Each session includes silent meditation and a specific theme. There will be individual meditations as well as practices in dyads or small groups. Six practices help us to bring more awareness in our dialogue with others: pausing – relaxation – opening – attuning to what emerges – deep listening – truthful speaking.

Mindful dialogue is based on Insight dialogue as developed by Gregory Kramer. This method is used in different formats: from workshops and retreats to the Interpersonal Mindfulness program, and this 6-week training. As Mindful Dialogue supports wisdom and connection in relationships, participants working with people, for instance as a teacher, coach, therapist or otherwise, might find the program especially helpful.
