Saturdays, Sep. 2, 16, Oct. 7, 21, Nov., 4, 18, 8:30 - 9:30 am Pacific

Emergent Dialogue is a new way of engaging – with ourselves, each other, and with the co-creative field of which we are all part. It is a practice of bringing consciousness to relationship – recognizing that the space between us is actually a connection, rather than a separation. It is rooted in the principles of quantum physics -- that everything is connected, that Universe and all its parts are a relational space of infinite potential, evolving as a whole. Emergent Dialogue gives voice to the new possibilities and potentialities that arise when we bring attention to the inter-subjective field that we are co-creating through this evolutionary way of being together.
