[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Insight Dialogue Small Group

Good afternoon friends,

Over the last two years we’ve had a peer-led Insight Dialogue (ID) practice group in DC from October to May.  As we look to restart in Year 3, we have space for a handful of new members to join. 

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

• The small group (8 to 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 tentatively plan to meet 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 first or second week of October. 

• The idea is that those interested can commit to attending about 5 of the 7 or so sessions for the rest of 2026, and stay on until May 2027.  We’ll aim to accommodate regular holidays (Thanksgiving, end-of-year, etc.) as well as any other weeks where many people may be away.  
• Because Insight Dialogue is a deeply relational practice and each of us benefits from the others, being able to commit to attending most of the sessions –  in-person and on-time – is critical. 

• 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.   

I will also be at tonight’s Downtown Dharma Insight Dialogue session if you would like to speak then. 

Kind regards,

Amitabh
