Growing Resilience and Relational Capacity

Through careful and skillful practice, with the support of the Insight Dialogue guidelines, we will expand our relational capacities as awareness meets awareness.

This is an empowering response to the alienation, cruelty, and disempowerment saturating our societies. In our fractured world, greater relational capacity offers us greater resilience and balance. This, along with silence, time in nature, and shared meditative inquiry, resource us to participate in the world as it is with enhanced compassion, equanimity, and radical relatedness.
