Afgelopen weekend was ik op Insight Dialogue-retraite. Zoals bij elke retraite kwam ik weer terug met een hoop waardevolle inzichten en gesterkt in mijn mindfulness-pad.
Seres de todos os reinos, Talvez pensemos que o conceito de vício se aplique apenas àqueles que perderam completamente o leme de sua vida para o álcool, o cigarro e as drogas ilegais. Mas ele pode ser pensado de maneira um pouco mais ampla, incluindo tudo aquilo que continuamos a fazer mesmo tendo consequências prejudiciais. E aí pode entrar o celular, o Big Brother, o Chandele de chocolate e aquela velha ruminação que só te põe pra baixo. Uma interessante discussão do tema, em intenso diálogo com tradições contemplativas e suas ferramentas, se encontra no livro do psiquiatra Judson Brewer, The Craving Mind (em tradução livre, A Mente Compulsiva). Para falar sobre a abordagem de Brewer e outras coisinhas mais, convidamos Fabiana Gaspar, fundadora da Via Integrativa, que conduziu recentemente um grupo de estudo e apoio baseado no livro de Brewer, e já estudou o tema academicamente. Pelo Via Integrativa, a Fabiana oferece atividades ligadas a yoga, mindfulness e habilidades socioemocionais, incluindo o Insight Dialogue. Também tivemos a honra de contar com nosso querido amigo, o psicólogo e professor Rondinelli Mariano, na mesa. O papo está viciante e esperamos que tenha consequências agradáveis em todes. Bom programa!

Lisa is solo today and is joined by Rhonda V. Magee, author of The Inner Work of Racial Justice: Healing Ourselves and Transforming Our Communities Through Mindfulnes. Rhonda V. Magee (M.A. Sociology, J.D.) is a Professor of Law at the University of San Francisco and an internationally-recognized thought and practice leader focused on integrating mindfulness into higher education, law and social change work. A prolific author, she draws on law and legal history to weave storytelling, poetry, analysis and practices into inspiration for changing how we think, act and live better together in a rapidly changing world.Born in North Carolina in 1967, Rhonda experienced a childhood of significant trauma and challenge. Yet, she was gifted with the insight that through a life of caring engagement, self-development, and service with others, she could find a way up and out. She has dedicated her life to healing and teaching in ways that support others in a journey to wholeness and justice. A student of a variety of Buddhist and other wisdom teachers, including Norman Fischer, Joan Halifax and Jon Kabat Zinn, she trained as a mindfulness teacher through the Oasis Teacher Training Institute of the University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness. She teaches mindfulness-based interventions, awareness, and compassion practices from a range of traditions. A former President of the board of the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, Professor Magee is a Fellow of the Mind and Life Institute, where she recently completed a two-year term on its steering council. She is a member of the board of advisors of the University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness and the board of directors for the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute.A professor of Law for twenty years (tenured since 2004), Rhonda teaches courses dealing civil actions for personal injury and insurance recovery; courses dealing with race and inequality; and a course she co-created on mindfulness and lawyering, Rhonda is experienced in interpersonal dynamics-informed small group facilitation (supported by training, retreats, and practice through a variety of programs, including Stanford University's Interpersonal Dynamics Facilitator Program and Gregory Kramer's Insight Dialogue). Rhonda's teaching and writing support compassionate conflict engagement and management; holistic problem-solving to alleviate the suffering of the vulnerable and injured; presence-based leadership in a diverse world, and humanizing approaches to education. She sees embodied mindfulness meditation and the allied disciplines of study and community engagement as keys to personal, interpersonal, and collective transformation in the face of the challenges and opportunities of our time.Rhonda has served as a guest teacher in a variety of mindfulness teacher training programs, including those sponsored by the Mindfulness Awareness Research Center (2017, 2018), led by Diana Winston, the Engaged Mindfulness Institute, led by Fleet Maull (2017, 2018), and the Center for Mindfulness (2017), led by Saki Santorelli and Judson Brewer. She serves as daylong or retreat co-leader and solo teacher at centers including Spirit Rock Meditation Center, the Garrison Institute, the Shambhala Mountain Center, the Omega Institute, Esalen and New York Insight Meditation Center.Rhonda is the author of numerous articles and book chapters on mindfulness in legal education, and on teaching about race using mindfulness, including “Educating Lawyers to Meditate?” 79 UMKC L. Rev. 535 (2011), “The Way of ColorInsight: Understanding Race and Law Effectively Using Mindfulness-Based ColorInsight Practices”, 8 Georgetown J. of Mod. Crit.

In this episode, I was fortunate to speak to Gregory Kramer who is the founding teacher of the Insight Dialogue Community. Back in 2015, I invited Gregory to be one of the keynote speakers at an international conference that I organized on Mindfulness at SFSU. I knew of his work on Insight Dialogue. I recently stumbled upon his new book, A Whole-Life Path: A Lay Buddhist’s Guide to Crafting a Dharma-Infused Life, and I immediately knew that I had to have him on the podcast. In this deep and free-flowing conversation, I explore with Gregory how he came to a pragmatic understanding and creative application of the Eight Fold Noble Path into his daily life. This conversation was itself a living example, perhaps a spontaneous unfolding in real-time of the power of dialogue – when the intention is turned to full awakening. We explore the importance of the first path factor – Right View – and why it is critical to getting all of the other path factors right. We also riff on how many Western Buddhists have acquired a wrong view – a meditation-fixation, a mindfulness-only approach to practice – that not only lacks a guiding Right View, but fails at integrating a small fraction of time that is spent in sitting meditation with their daily life. We both get a little geeky at times pondering the meaning and implications of scriptural terms and teachings – but I think you will feel the intensity and dynamism of this down-to-earth conversation on the Buddhadharma. I think you will enjoy this episode very much. But first, a little more about Gregory Kramer. Gregory teaches meditation, writes, and is the founding teacher of the Insight Dialogue Community. He is also author of Insight Dialogue: The Interpersonal Path to Freedom, from Shambhala Publications; Dharma Contemplation: Meditating Together with Wisdom Texts; Seeding the Heart: Practicing Lovingkindness with Children; and other books and articles. Gregory has practiced meditation since 1974 and studied with esteemed monastics, including Anagarika Dhammadinna, Ven. Balangoda Ananda Maitreya Mahanayaka Thero, Achan Sobin Namto, Ven. Punnaji Mahathero, and others.
Seres de todos os reinos: como integrar toda a vida em um caminho de transformação? Para responder a essa questão espinhosa convidamos Gregory Kramer para a primeira live (internacional) do Coemergência. Gregory é professor de meditação há 40 anos e discípulo de vários professores respeitados no budismo. Há cerca de 25 anos, ao observar uma dificuldade comum entre praticantes, a começar por ele mesmo, de integrar a prática intrapessoal com as relações e os papeis sociais que precisamos exercer, co-criou e vem aperfeiçoando o Insight Dialogue, um método de meditação interpessoal que, a partir dos princípios budistas e exercícios práticos, busca levar a prática meditativa para nossas interações num sentido amplo e profundo. Seu trabalho conta com a admiração de grandes referências da área como Joseph Goldstein, Tara Brach e Bhikkhu Bodhi. A conversa foi realizada no nosso canal do Youtube e contou com a participação de Beth Farias representante no Brasil do Insight Dialogue e tradução consecutiva de Marcus Teles. No final, abrimos para algumas perguntas. O formato ficou um pouco deferente. Esperamos que gostem. Para apoiar Coemergência, é só ir em www.apoia.se/coemergencia.
In deze aflevering ga ik in gesprek met Iris van Vemden, over haar ervaringen met Insight Dialogue. Insight Dialogue is een interactieve meditatie-techniek, die ontwikkeld is in de context van Vipassana-meditatie. Voor Iris heeft deze meditatie-vorm haar (nog meer) de kracht van kwetsbaarheid en van verbinding laten voelen.

De gast is Riët Aarsse. Riët is verbonden aan Amsterdam Inzichtmeditatie en leraar Insight Dialogue. Joost gaat in gesprek met Riët over de huidige situatie in Myanmar sinds de militaire coup van 1 februari waarbij de gekozen leiders gevangen zijn gezet. Ze maken zich zorgen over de mensenrechtensituatie en zien de enorme veerkracht van een ook jonge generaties die onvermoeibaar en geweldloos de straten opgaan.Over de relatie tussen meditatie hier in het westen en de boeddhistische traditie in Myanmar. Hoe we dankbaarheid tot uitdrukking kunnen brengen in hulp. Wat we in Nederland doen voor de mensen die zo onvermoeibaar de democratie proberen terug te krijgen in Myanmar. Vipassana of inzichtmeditatie, hartmeditatie, mindfulness – het heeft allemaal een connectie met Myanmar.‘Het bewaren van de dhamma en de betekenis ervan voor het dagelijks leven in een cultuur die daarvan doordesemd is - dat is waar we de mensen in Birma dankbaar voor kunnen zijn', aldus Riët.Joost en Riët maken deel uit van vipassana.nu, een collectief van retraite-begeleiders. Beide mediteerden en studeerden lange tijd in boeddhistische kloosters in Myanmar en voelen zich diep verbonden met het land en de mensen.Moge alle mensen in Myanmar veilig zijn, en vrij van vijandigheid.
And so it goes on. This is our second episode in the new practice series. In the meantime, I had something of an allergic reaction to social media, and the internet more broadly. Despite a pretty disciplined relationship with digital life, I had something akin to an epiphany mid-January and realised that in my own way I had got caught up in maintaining what I am increasingly thinking of as the synthetic real. The digital life is seductive in ways that are not always easy to identify and like many insidious forces in this world, it can creep up on you in unexpected ways. What this means long-term is anyone's guess. For now, I have reduced my internet time drastically, with time spent on social media cut by 90% and I am thrilled by the results. If such concerns orbit your life too, you may want to check out Jaron Lanier's work on social media. Our guest this time is Gregory Kramer, insight meditation teacher since the 1980s, he has developed a practice called Insight Dialogue; A sort of interpersonal meditation practice. Gregory teaches meditation, leads retreats and has written two books on Buddhist practice. The first on Insight Dialogue, and the second released in 2020 called A Whole Life Path. Gregory was candid in his answers. There are powerful moments in this episode that arise as we venture down the path of the deeply personal nature of practice. Gregory's work is rooted in early Buddhist traditions yet he lives a house-holder's life. His commitment to the practising life is evident throughout. In his own words; “...my own life experience have led me to emphasize an integrated path of development, where individual and interpersonal meditation are joined with contemplation, ethical inquiry, and a commitment to kindness.” Other point of interest, Gregory's been married for over forty years and has three sons and five grandchildren. He was once a music composer, performer and taught composition at NYU while scoring films, video and dance works. He also developed devices for the music and recording field, and was even a founding figure in the science of auditory display and data sonification.

Qual é a imagem que vem à sua mente quando se fala em meditação? Para muitas pessoas, costuma ser algo como a de alguém sentado à beira de um lago ou na frente de uma parede branca, sozinho ou em um grupo, mas provavelmente sem nenhum tipo de interação. Devido a essa concepção, muitas vezes esquecemos que a consciência meditativa pode ser cultivada em todas as circunstâncias da vida. E se for possível praticar a meditação interagindo com outras pessoas? E se essa interação for parte fundamental da prática? Ficou curioso? Essa é a proposta do Insight Dialogue, que é, nas palavras de seu criador, Gregory Kramer, "um caminho interpessoal para a liberdade". Convidamos a psicóloga, praticante experiente e professora de Insight Dialogue Beth Faria (www.bethfaria.com) para nos esclarecer como é possível cultivar as qualidades de atenção, relaxamento, abertura, conexão e discernimento através do diálogo e das interações com uma ou mais pessoas. Para nossa alegria, Beth transformou o próprio papo numa experimentação da proposta, e também nos trouxe reflexões preciosas sobre como a prática do mundo interno não pode se desvincular de uma preocupação ética mais abrangente. Esperamos que o papo te instigue a refletir sobre as nossas possibilidades de ação em nossas relações e no mundo. Te convidamos para que dê uma pausa no piloto automático mental, relaxe e se abra para essa conversa. Se quiser fazer parte desse movimento é só contribuir no apoia.se/coemergencia.

What would it be like if we were able to extend the silence & clarity of the meditative mind into our relationships? Would this impact how we listen, what we say, and even how we perceive reality? Gregory Kramer, teacher of a unique interpersonal meditation called Insight Dialogue, claims that it does this and much more. In this dialogue we find out about the specifics of the Insight Dialogue practice, covering each of the six steps of this practice (see below), as well as exploring what it’s like to be on a retreat where both individual and interpersonal contemplation takes place. The six steps of Insight Dialogue: Pause Relax Open Trust Emergence Listen Deeply Speak the Truth This is Part 2 of a two-part series. Listen to Part 1, Interpersonal Meditation: Awakening as Relational Beings. Episode Links: Insight Dialogue: An Interpersonal Path to Freedom ( http://bit.ly/U4EAi )
Gregory Kramer, teacher of an interpersonal meditation practice called Insight Dialogue (and author of a book with the same title) joins us to explore the question of, “What is the path of awakening, when we realize that we are essentially relational beings?” We discuss his early path as a meditator and the later work that contributed to the co-creation of the dialogic meditation practice, insight dialogue. We also delve into the interpersonal truths behind the 4 noble truths, especially as they relate to interpersonal suffering and hunger, and see how interpersonal meditation is one way to become free both personally and relationally. This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Listen to Part 2, Insight Dialogue: Extending Meditation into Mutuality. Episode Links: Insight Dialogue: An Interpersonal Path to Freedom ( http://bit.ly/U4EAi )
Would you enjoy meditation that included communicating with others? Based on the understanding that we are social beings, Gregory Kramer developed Insight Dialogue, an offshoot of Insight Meditation.

Conflict is a normal part of life. The question becomes, What is our relationship to the conflict we experience? As we embrace conflict, we can discover the valuable gift it has to offer us. Listen to Rev. Kelly with her special guest, Rev. Lori Woodley, as they share the tools and teachings of connection in conflict through our presence and our words. Though this powerful practice of learning to connect deeply to ourselves and others, we learn new ways to co-exist, thrive and co-create peace in ways that appear miraculous.
