Insight Dialogue
Insight Dialogue is an interpersonal form of Buddhist insight meditation, developed by Gregory Kramer.
It has its roots in the four foundations of mindfulness, the central teaching of Theravadan practice. The practice is facilitated by Jane Cutler, who has been facilitating Insight Dialogue since 2010. She is an Insight Dialogue teacher.
“Humans are a social species. The path is presented here as encompassing our innately inescapably social nature. The Dhamma is offered in very direct human terms and so must include our relational lives.” From 'Insight Dialogue' by Gregory Kramer.
Insight Dialogue builds on our experience of individual practice, meditating together in spoken enquiry. We sit side by side in silent meditation and we also meditate face to face and aloud. We interweave Insight Dialogue and silent meditation.
Insight Dialogue is an opportunity to be truly present, as we encounter one another.
Gregory Kramer’s book, “Insight Dialogue, The Interpersonal Path to Freedom”, gives a full and inspiring introduction to the practice. Our experience is that Insight Dialogue is a groundbreaking practice, whatever our meditation background may be.
