There is an African Proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Together, we are stronger and more resilient, and we can support one another to go a little bit further on the path towards awakening. This program is about just that: supporting each other to awaken together.
We will integrate the wisdom practice of Insight Dialogue with the Three Refuges of Buddha (potential for awakening), Dhamma (the Buddha's teachings and natural unfolding of life), and Sangha (intentional community of practice). We will learn to cultivate the refuge within and become the refuge for ourselves and the world. Insight Dialogue is vipassana meditation practiced in relationship. It weaves together the meditative qualities of right view, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration with the wisdom of Dhamma and the voice of another. During this program, we will cultivate embodied presence, inner strength, and the strength of interdependence. We will open to the multilayered, co-created moment, and learn to stand with equanimity in a tumultuous world.
Transportation Assistance:
In an effort to make our campus more accessible, we will share a ride-share sheet specifically for this program. We will also provide a single van shuttle ride to and from BCBS on opening and closing days (from Boston to BCBS and from BCBS to Boston) for those who are unable to find a ride using the ride-share boards. The page and van pickup information will be shared with you upon registration.
