Waking Up Together: Introduction to Insight Dialog

Please register through the Seattle Insight Meditation website.
Meetup limits the number of responses shown here, so the event may still have space even if the Meetup RSVP list is full.

Ever struggle to bring your meditation practice off the cushion and into your life?

One reason it’s hard: we usually practice alone, eyes closed, in silence. But our days are spent in relationship — eyes open, talking.

Insight Dialogue bridges that gap. It takes relationality itself as the object of awareness: we meditate with partners, eyes open, out loud. The aim is the same as in silent practice — understanding suffering, and realizing freedom from suffering, here and now.

What’s different is that relationship amplifies mindfulness and concentration, and together we can see what we miss on our own. The Dhamma lands in an immediate, embodied way that you can use the moment you leave the room.

Over four weeks, participants will learn the six guidelines of Insight Dialogue. Each two-hour session includes silent meditation, instruction on the guidelines, and contemplation practice with meditation partners. Our time together is focused on practice.
