Our Monthly Dialectic Inquiry Groups began in January this year for our Winter/Spring Series (Jan-May). We have two groups meeting for this 4-month series: a Monday and a Thursday group. The Summer-Fall Series begins in August after our summer break.
Two Topic Inquiries This Year
We had our first Topic Inquiry in January: Recalibrating after
Awakenings. Our group explored areas in life where we've clearly understood any number of concepts and yet an immediate, direct experience reveals a KNOWING beyond any conceptual understanding the mind can grasp.
Our second Topic Inquiry is coming up in July: Embodiment, a Gateway to Presence, Monday, July 13 at 4 pm Pacific.
Two Gestalt/Voice Dialogue Inquiries:
*April 20 &
Dec 7
Here's an audio recording where I describe what we're planning to happen in these work/play times. What you'll hear me describe in the recording resembles a Voice Dialogue practice more than a Gestalt practice. I learned Voice Dialogue from a Zen master who used the practice to dialogue with both mental structures
as well as transcendent dimensions of ourselves.
Both Gestalt and Voice Dialogue are awareness practices that are similar in that we have an opportunity to explore any mental structure, physical body part/condition, essential aspect, quality, dimension, pretty much anything we're curious about understanding about ourselves. I've often experienced the Gestalt practice in retreats where we used an empty chair to practice having a dialogue with another "part or self." One
such example was used to have a dialogue with our Super Ego. That was extremely helpful.
If you're at all interested in joining us, but have questions before signing up, simply email me and we can setup a phone or zoom call to talk.
