Cascadia Insight Dialogue Retreat

Join Nicola Redfern, Mary Burns and Gregory Kramer for this annual Insight Dialogue Retreat.

The Cascadia Insight Dialogue Retreat offers a rare opportunity to explore a range of different approaches to finding freedom, using the Insight Dialogue meditation practice to draw together wisdom from both the Insight and Zen traditions.

We will explore one of the key obstacles to finding freedom: the ways we cling to views and opinions. Silence, time in nature, and shared meditative inquiry can illuminate how views form and inform every aspect of our lives, including our understanding of ourselves, society and the world.

We will explore different teachings on views, including Wise View which is the foundation of the Noble Eightfold Path. With this framework we can also investigate self-view by understanding how a solid separate sense of self is constructed, and how it might soften. Likewise, we may see more clearly the conceits and comparisons that arise along with self-view, which then create social divisions and class stratifications, causing deep suffering and inequity. And lastly, we may gain an understanding of Nibbāna as the transcending of all views.
