"Insight Dialogue" retreat with Patricia Genoud occured in August 2012.

What is "Insight Dialogue" ??

It is an interpersonal meditation practice rooted in mindfulness and tranquility enabling insight to arise and providing valuable means of integration of Dhamma (Dharma) in daily life. With this practice we extend the silent mode of meditation to sphere of relationships through speaking and listening, when invited by the teacher. Specific instructions and contemplations will support the Insight Dialogue practice which will be combined with traditional Vipassana meditation. The retreat will unfold in complete silence apart from the dialogue and the group interviews with the teacher. The retreat will be of most benefit to those with previous experience of meditation but it is also open to the beginners.
There will be a translation from English to Czech. Dialogues can be done either in English or in Czech.
