A Taste of the Enlightenment Intensive

Free - Online Session
A Pilot Session
This 90-minute free online session offers an introduction to dyads — the simple yet profound method of self-inquiry at the heart of the Enlightenment Intensive process.
Whether you’re curious about attending an Intensive, or simply interested in exploring dyads on their own, this session is an ideal place to begin.
If you’ve already experienced an Enlightenment Intensive, this will serve as an introduction to working with dyads for personal growth outside the EI setting.
What are Dyads?
Dyads are a partnered self-inquiry practice that combines deep listening with open, authentic communication.
They work in two important ways:
They create a contemplative space for deep reflection.
They allow us to engage directly with the immediate issues arising in our lives.
Through dyad practice, we come back into contact with ourselves, with each other, and with the deeper meaning that shapes our lives.
What to Expect in the Session
You’ll practice the open reflection that lies at the heart of contemplating.
You’ll experience giving and receiving the attentive listening that helps transform isolation into connection.
You’ll cultivate the art of authentic contact and communication with another.
Beyond the Retreat Setting
Dyads are a powerful self-inquiry practice in their own right.
Outside of a retreat, they offer:
A simple, structured way to experience mutual support and authentic connection.
A practical antidote to isolation through shared presence and deep listening.
A self-discovery tool to explore deeper issues in our everyday lives.
Whether you’re simply exploring or considering an Enlightenment Intensive in the future, you’ll leave this session with the knowledge and experience you need to begin working with dyads in your own life including joining our regular dyad groups.
