Phyllis Hicks and Florence Meleo-Meyer

July 8 - 11, 2020

Date and Time Details: Orientation will begin at 5:00pm on the first day of the retreat and the retreat ends at 5pm on Saturday July 11.

# Nights: 3

    In these times of social distancing and sheltering in place the practice of listening deeply and befriending each other and our own experiences is both healing and liberating. Insight Dialogue, an interpersonal meditation practice, brings the Dhamma to life relationally in the body and heart as intuitive wisdom. In the good company of other meditators, we begin to realize the power of solitude and communion in our lives.

    Meditation, wisdom, and relationship – form the three bases of Insight Dialogue and are the foundation of unbinding from habitual tensions that maintain suffering. Alone and together, we cultivate new pathways that release us freshly in the ever unfolding moment.

    With periods of silent practice, meditating in dialogue, Dhamma talks,and mindful movement, we will explore this shared human experience and touch the possibility of awakening to loving presence as resilience.

    Prerequisite: Prior Insight Dialogue and silent meditation experience.

    This retreat is being offered as a benefit to Southern Dharma Retreat Center, at a time of tremendous need. While our expenses have dropped by about 20% since the suspension of our on-site retreats, our revenue has dropped by 75%, due to reduced fees and reduced dana from participants. For this program, three rates will be offered: $25/night (subsidized), $50/night (base rate), and $100/night (supporter). We deeply appreciate your selection of the rate that best matches your ability to give.
