Sangha Talks

Once monthly on Monday, 6-7pm (check our calendar below for our next date)

Moving in a spiral around the circle, with curiosity and kindness toward ourselves and each other, can we bring to the surface the wisdom already here in each of us? Sangha Talks is intended as a relational practice, and a more horizontal, peer-led approach to contemplating the Dharma. We’ll use the principles and teachings of Insight Dialogue to protect the circle and create a container for deeper listening and more truthful relating:

Pausing: stepping out of habitual, automatic and mindless interaction and into deeper presence;

Relaxing: inviting the body, heart and mind to loosen its grip on the moment a little;

Opening: allowing and being willing to let another person or people be here with us;

Trusting: allowing what unfolds, being curious and open to what might naturally happen when we’re not controlling the outcome;

Listening Deeply: receiving the person or people around you as they are just right now;

Speaking the Truth: from our own perspective and our own lived experience, trusting that what we have to offer is enough.
