Online Practice Group
Saturdays, Sep. 2, 16, Oct. 7, 21, Nov., 4, 18, 8:30 - 9:30 am Pacific
Emergent Dialogue is a new way of engaging – with ourselves, each other, and with the co-creative field of which we are all part. It is a practice of bringing consciousness to relationship – recognizing that the space between us is actually a connection, rather than a separation. It is rooted in the principles of quantum physics -- that everything is connected, that Universe and all its parts are a relational space of infinite potential, evolving as a whole. Emergent Dialogue gives voice to the new possibilities and potentialities that arise when we bring attention to the inter-subjective field that we are co-creating through this evolutionary way of being together.

How do we embody being aware and being kind when so much is painful and scary? How do we access nourishment and belonging when so much of what we have known is changing or collapsing? What opportunities arise from a “wicked predicament? Explore these questions and more through guided meditation, mindful discussion, and experiential practices. We learn to navigate the tension of crisis and opportunity from a place of holding paradox — engagement and stillness, personal and collective, grief and joy — by cultivating a steady mind and open heart. In this way, we begin to shift our relationship with current personal and global circumstances to living with and from the truth of uncertainty.
