Emergent Dialogue: A Bi-monthly, Online Practice Group

Imagine having a conversation in which everyone feels heard, all perspectives are welcomed and respected, and somehow something emerges from the collective that is greater than any of the individuals could have predicted, or even imagined. Emergent Dialogue Practice Sessions offer the opportunity to co-create and practice this relational meditation as we learn to access the power of being together in a shared experience of Deeptime awareness.

“In Emergent Dialogues the intelligence of the field becomes part of the conversation. Our different perspectives cohere into a living and united creativity.”
—Thomas Steininger, Co-founder, One World in Dialogue

What's Emergent Dialogue?

Emergent Dialogue is a new way of engaging – with ourselves, each other, and with Universe. It is a practice of bringing consciousness to relationship – recognizing that the space between us is actually a connection, rather than a separation. It gives voice to the new possibilities and potentialities that arise when we bring attention to the intersubjective field that we are co-creating.

“Emergent Dialogue can be seen as a synergy or confluence of Mindfulness and Deeptime Perspective.”
— Stephan Martin

What Happens in Emergent Dialogue?

We engage qualities of:

  • Openness

  • Presence

  • Surrender to not-knowing (releasing assumptions)

  • Curiosity

  • Deep Listening

  • Coherence - Welcoming everything that arises as an essential part of the whole

We suspend the habits of:

  • Goal-orientation or decision-making

  • Duality of judgment

  • Assumptions

And co-create a field of:

  • Flow

  • Inclusion

  • Generative Processing

  • Coherence

  • Expansion

  • Co-creation

“The practice of Emergent Dialogue invites us into a new way of being together — one that brings us beyond separation and division into a collective field of possibility.”
— Marianne Rowe


Empowering Evolution with a Form of Dialogue . . .

“A form of free dialogue may well be one of the most effective ways of investigating the crisis which faces society, and indeed the whole of human nature and consciousness today. Moreover, it may turn out that such a form of free exchange of ideas and information is of fundamental relevance for transforming culture and freeing it of destructive misinformation, so that creativity can be liberated.”
– David Bohm*

* David Joseph Bohm (1917-1982) was an American-British scientist who has been described as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century and who contributed unorthodox ideas to quantum theory, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind.

Who is this for?

  • Activists who want to cultivate Deep Listening as a pathway to effective communication.

  • Creatives looking to go deeper and tap into the larger field.

  • Religious/spiritual who want to have a first hand experience of union.

  • Educators looking for new ways to cultivate dialogue in a learning environment.

  • Entrepreneurs looking to open new ways of engaging with partners and clients.

  • Non-profit leaders looking to heighten organizational communication.
