DANCING THE MESS OF RELATIONSHIP: An Art-Monastic Experiment in Relational Meditation
April 4, 2026 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Our intention for this 9-day program is to practice meditation on the relational field. Where a traditional meditation retreat might have practitioners focusing on their breath, or sensations throughout their body, this meditation practice will have us focusing on what is coming up between us in relationship moment-to-moment, the ever-unfolding dance between self and other. Unlike other retreats which focus on relational practices (such as Circling or Group Relations) this program will oscillate between verbal relational processes, most often Circling, and nonverbal relational processes, most centrally Contact Improv and Meditation.
