Learning in relationship, communication & community
A New Kind Of Learning Together
In group circles or one-to-one, we look into questions shared by the participants and allow what is being examined to unfold in observation.
Nobody leads with answers or knows what will be discovered in advance.
As I explore the topics with others, I begin to discover that my thinking is full of ideas, conclusions and assumptions.
I see that this thinking controls and limits my outlook, my perception of others, my relationships and how I live my life. I discover also that others are like me in this regard.
A totally different way of living and relating
The intention is not to create an artificial sense of shared well being, or a safe space where we all agree around certain spiritual, political or psychological ideas. Is there a very different quality of direct perception open to us?
Creative dialogue proposes a moment in observation and sensitive listening – without rehashed opinions, conclusions or authority – that may generate a totally different spirit of friendship, freedom, affection and community.

Why are our lives and our relationships so conditioned? So repetitive and so superficial?
