In our Sangha we practice Mindful Dialogue:
- Bow in to speak and bow out to end sharing
- Listen deeply to yourself when speaking, being mindful of what motivates you to speak and your intention
- Speak only from your heart, felt experience and understanding. Practice minimizing intellectual or philosophical sharing, long story telling, and judging and criticizing yourself or others
- Listen deeply to the sharing of others
- Allow silence between shares and leave time for others to share
- Please do not offer advice unless requested
