Introduction to Insight Dialogue
Thursday, Feb 1st
7-9pm
Chapel
An evening introduction to Insight Dialogue:
Based in the Buddhist tradition, Insight Dialogue harnesses the power of relationship to amplify, refine, and accelerate the development of mindfulness. Consisting of 6 meditative guidelines practiced in dyads or more, the practice supports the wisdom of Dhamma to enter the heart and mind in an immediate and embodied way that is instantly applicable in daily life. Join us in discovering the profound impact of Insight Dialogue on fostering compassion, wisdom, and genuine human connection.
About teacher Anna-Brown Griswold:
Anna-Brown fell in love with Insight Dialogue practice in 2012 after nearly 20years of practice and study in the Tibetan and Zen koan lineages of Buddhism, including monastic practice and extended solitary retreats. For most of her adult life she’s been experimenting with how to integrate the awakening power of dharma practice, the skills of psychotherapeutic healing, and an embodied lens of social justice. Anna-Brown currently shares Insight Dialogue practice online and locally in Seattle, where she works as a trauma therapist and facilitator. As a mom to a toddler, bringing Insight Dialogue into the whole beautiful mess of parenting is an ongoing practice.
