Dialogue Circle

Please reach out to Circle Leader for updated information on Meetings

Purpose: The Circle serves as a path to finding shared meaning in our community. When separateness, prejudice, and biases disrupt our collective sense of balance we yearn for a wholesome response. A uniquely brilliant solution was put forth in a book written by the great 20th-century thinker and theoretical physicist David Bohm. The name of Bohm’s seminal work is “On Dialogue”.

“On Dialogue” is squarely aimed at uncovering the personal biases and prejudice that exist in all of us. The Dialogue process gives each of us an opportunity to safely explore the assumptions that belie the beliefs that support separation in its many forms. Separation is simply the distance we must navigate to find shared meaning.

The Circle is a sacred container that nourishes safety, confidentiality and mutual respect. Dialogue protocols add the disciplines of suspending judgment, silence when silence happens and listening generously with intent to be influenced by shared meaning.

If you have participated you know the amazing experience it is in community building and personal growth. Now we allow anyone who has participated in Dialogue before to attend whenever they want.

Come when you like, just let us know you are coming so we set up for the correct attendees. If you have been in one of the 5 classes since 2017 you know the protocols and you will be on the roster to receive notice of the meeting and the topic.

If you like the topic or just want to practice deep listening without judgment, RSVP us you’re attending. Let’s all Dialogue together making you and me, and this planet a little better!

THE DIALOGUE CIRCLE IS OPEN TO ALL
