[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Insight Dialogue weekend retreat: Nov 22-23 in Tenleytown

Hi friends,

Lately, I've been reflecting on how much easier it is to be steady and resilient when we're not trying to do it alone.

It's a blessing to have so many ways to support each other in sangha. And next month, we'll have another opportunity: a weekend retreat in DC, right before Thanksgiving, focused on finding steadiness and balanced care for our world.

When I think about who might be most interested, a few groups come to mind:

  • Those who care deeply, yet sometimes feel the weight of it: Whether your concern is for people close to you or for the wider world, this retreat offers a chance to steady the heart — to stay open and engaged without being overwhelmed.

  • Those drawn to authentic, compassionate communication: If you value Insight Dialogue, NVC, or relational mindfulness, this retreat will deepen the skills of listening, speaking, and attuning from awareness.

  • Those longing for the depth of retreat but not wanting to travel far: It offers a chance to immerse in sustained relational meditation right here in DC.

The retreat is dana-based and led by two seasoned Insight Dialogue teachers. The $50 fee supports logistics, but if it's a barrier, please reach out to me directly to sign up.

It'd be a joy to see you next month.

With love,
Vince
