[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Insight Dialogue Group - Invitation to Join

Good afternoon friends,

Last year, we began a peer-led Insight Dialogue (ID) practice group in DC from October to May.  As a few members have opted to move on, there is now space for a handful of new members (about 6) to join.

If you're interested in joining, here are some details:

·          The small group (12 people) will meet every two weeks or so for about 1.5 hrs.  We'll take turns to volunteer as facilitators during the course of our time together; some sessions can follow this user-friendly guide, while others can be more open and at the discretion of the facilitator.   

·          We are thinking of tentatively meeting on Wednesdays in the early evening (around 7 to 8:30 pm, or 7:30 pm to 9 pm) in and around Northwest DC; we hope to have at least 2 members who can open up their homes for the group, so the exact locations are TBD. 

·          Depending on how soon we gather enough members, we can aim to start as early as the week of September 15. 

·          The hope is that those interested can commit to attending about 5 of the 7 or so sessions for the rest of 2025, and ideally stay on until May 2026.  We'll aim to accommodate regular holidays (Thanksgiving, end-of-year, etc.) as well as any other weeks where many people may be away. 

·          There is no cost to participate.  No experience with Insight Dialogue is necessary, nor is any experience necessary in facilitation.  It is recommended, however, that participants do have some mindfulness practice to fully benefit from the group discussions.  

The above are best guesses; specifics on venue, timing, and dates, will be determined by the group itself.

If you are interested in joining, please fill out the form here, or reach out directly if you have any questions I can help answer. 

Kind regards,

Amitabh
