Nine-day Insight Dialogue retreat led by Gregory Kramer and Mary Burns

This nine-day retreat offers a rare opportunity to explore Insight Dialogue, an interpersonal meditation practice rooted in vipassanā. Rather than remaining in silence throughout, participants are invited to bring the steadiness, clarity, and calm of traditional meditation into their conversations with others.

Guided by Gregory Kramer and Mary Burns, the retreat creates a supportive setting for deepening mindfulness in relationship. Through dialogue, reflection, and shared practice, attendees can begin to notice habitual patterns more clearly, cultivate greater presence, and experience how awareness can be sustained in connection as well as in solitude.

Designed for those seeking a more relational approach to meditation, this retreat invites a slower pace, attentive listening, and a direct exploration of how mindfulness can transform communication. It is an opportunity to practice with care, curiosity, and openness in the company of experienced teachers.
