General Information

Emma & Barry M cGuinness, Enlightenment Intensives in Bath

Emma & Barry

    • All our Enlightenment Intensives in Bath are led by one of us, Emma or Barry.  You can read about us here.

    • We both trained to run Enlightenment Intensives in 1992. Since then we have been involved in almost a hundred Intensives.

    • We normally have one or two other staff, known as monitors, who help organise the environment and supervise the group exercises, plus a cook.

    • We have the knowledge and skills needed to help you in your process of seeking, experiencing and integrating a direct realisation of Truth.

    • All prices as shown INCLUDE your deposit, retreat accommodation, and all meals.

    • A 3-day EI includes 4 nights’ accommodation.

    • There may be a small extra charge for parking at a nearby private car park.

    • There may be a small extra charge for any unusual dietary restrictions which require special preparation.

    • All prices are shown in GB Pounds Sterling (£). 

    • We can accept payments via either bank transfer or PayPal.

    • You can use a currency converter to see the equivalent in Euros (€), US Dollars ($), or whatever, such as: Currency Converter. 

    • To qualify for the reduced rate for early-bird booking, we need both your Registration Form and your desposit payment by the deadline shown.

    • Deposits are normally transferrable but non-refundable.

    • If you have paid a deposit for an intensive but are then unable to attend it,that deposit can be transferred to another one of our EIs if we have at least 2 week's notice.

ONLINE DYAD GROUPS

A laptop on a desk signifying online communication (dyads).

    • Regular dyad groups are an ideal way to continue using the dyad method for self-discovery and self-development.

    • We (Emma and Barry) host Online Dyad Groups once a month via Zoom. 

    • These are open to all who are familiar with the dyad procedure.

    • There is no charge, and no commitment; feel free to participate or not. 

  • Schedule

    Each meeting includes a brief intro by Emma followed by two 40-minute dyad sessions.

    • For the dyads, participants are assigned to breakout rooms in pairs.

    • There’s a 10-minute break between the two dyads. 

    Dyad Questions / Instructions

    Participants can work on any question/instruction of their own choosing.

    • If you need ideas, see these popular dyad questions.

    • We recommend having pen and paper handy in case you need to write down your dyad partner’s instruction. 

    Dyad Rules

    The dyads are private and not monitored, so it is up to each participant to know the basic dyad rules and stick to them:

    1. Be a good listening partner:

    • Pay constant, respectful attention to your communicating partner. Avoid reacting / responding to what they say.

    2. Be a good communicating partner:

    • Never refer to your partner or to anything your partner has said.

    3. Respect confidentiality:

    • Anything said in a dyad stays in the dyad. Never repeat anything you have heard a partner say. 

    Change-Overs

    We rely on self-managed changeovers. In other words:

    • After 5 minutes the current listening partner says 'Thank you'.

    • You now swap rioles: the former contemplating partner is now the listening partner and gives their partner their instruction ('Tell me ...').

    Ideally, we recommend participants to use the gong timer audio file which you can access or download here. 

    But note — to ensure both you and your partner can hear the bells, there may be some technical settings to adjust in Zoom before or during the meeting. See here. 

  • Our Online Dyad Groups are normally held on the third Tuesday of each month - between 7 pm and 9 pm UK time (BST in summer/ GMT in winter).

    • Get in touch if you would be added to our mailing list for the monthly announcements of each upcoming Zoom meeting link. 

  • Nothing. Our Online Dyad Groups are a free service for anyone who wants to do dyads.
