Practice Opportunities

“That’s the purpose of discussion, that’s the purpose of drawing near, that’s the purpose of lending ear–the liberation of the mind through no clinging.”
~ AN 3:67

Opportunities to engage with relational Dhamma teachings and practices are available worldwide through retreats, online offerings, and via local practice communities facilitated by Insight Dialogue teachers, facilitators, and dedicated practitioners.

The in-person events and online practice opportunities listed here are led by members of the Insight Dialogue Teaching Community and are sponsored by a variety of organizations, including the Insight Dialogue Community. 

Inspired by the Buddha’s teachings on generosity (caga) and giving (dana), events sponsored by the Insight Dialogue Community are freely offered. The Insight Dialogue Community covers all administrative expenses for our programs, and teachers and facilitators are supported by the generosity of practitioners through donations. To provide as many doorways into relational Dhamma practice as possible, we also list events offered by Insight Dialogue teachers and facilitators where the sponsoring organization may charge a fee to support teachers or to cover organizational expenses
