Insight Dialogue is a wisdom practice that fosters true insight and brings depth and immediacy to the understanding of the human experience. In this residential retreat we will practice both silent, personal meditation, and the relational meditation of Insight Dialogue as we explore the Four Noble Truths. Previous meditation experience is helpful but not necessary.

As with traditional silent meditation practice, Insight Dialogue has meditation guidelines. They support us as we migrate from habitual ways of interacting, to ways in alignment with the path of virtue, tranquility, wisdom, and mutuality. Each meditation instruction can be recalled as a simple reminder to calm down, become aware, and notice and release old habits. As the practice deepens, the guidelines function as powerful meditation instructions, pointing the way toward profound spiritual awakening.

 
Venue:  Resurrection College, Waterloo (one hour west of Toronto)

Schedule:  5 days – Friday, May 1st to Wednesday, May 6th
