This series was initiated by our friends at Dankbar Leben as physical distancing became commonplace around the world as a way to support gratefulness groups and individuals interested in this form of connection. The intention is to practice becoming still and practice listening as inspired by Br. David’s letter “The Gift of Silence” (April 2020).
Sample format: Welcome, inspirational theme with poem or quote and a short meditation; followed by dialogue guidelines and 30 minutes of mindful dialogue; ending with a body awareness practice, short sharing, and a practice invitation in the form of a ritual with a creative/artistic element.
The intention is to work in teams from different backgrounds and languages, drawing from experience from the global gratefulness network. More details about intention and format, as well as participant testimonials, can be found on the dialogue group page. This page is in German but can be translated using online translation tools.
