Details of presenter...

Gregory Kramer, originator of Insight Dialogue,
also known as interpersonal meditation, will be conducting
a workshop aimed specifically at therapists who wish to deepen
their listening and interpersonal skills. It will focus, amongst
other things, on cultivating refined mindfulness, on speaking
the truth from deeper recesses of the heart-mind, on examining
Buddhist psychology and on exploring how relational wisdom
is experienced in the body. The aim is to assist therapists
to find tranquility while engaged in the process of relating
with others. Some other areas of investigation will be the
subtle aspects of transference and countertransference that
can remain hidden even after long years of therapist training
and professional experience. In addition to dialogic meditation,
some time will be spent in periods of silent practice as we
learn to rest, fully present with our internal experience
as well as being attuned to others.
Gregory Kramer has been teaching Vipassana and loving-kindness
meditation since 1980. He has developed the Insight Dialogue
practice, a form of meditation practice that is fully interpersonal.
He is a visiting faculty member at Barre Centre for Buddhist
Studies in Massachusetts and holds a PhD in learning in human
systems.
