Description

In a holistic dialogue one engages in a type of communication, or learning, that transcends man-made psychological structures.

This engagement is done through or with the understanding that speaking up, or acting, from memory only sustains the condition being looked at.

Rationale

Whats lurking behind our actions and means of expression? What does actually make our work complete and meaningful beyond question so one could let go of it as one is doing it?

Understanding our limitation seems to be the first and only step. Even the question of why that is sounds absurd to be asked. What comes afterwards, consequently, is in and out of itself.

This individual endeavor is about freedom and creation not separate from health and perception. And we are here to approach it, collectively, in a holistic sense.

Generic Process

To discover the common ground between the group members.
To explore the limitation of human communication and to go, potentially, beyond it.
To understand the process of thinking and thought and how limiting it can be to relationship and creative work.
To go into what it means to be listening in the here-and-now rather than reflecting on theories or deriving meaning from previous experiences.
To see what happens when listening is its own action.

Roles involved

Facilitator: One of things that make dialogue different is the deep understanding of thought and thinking. The lack of this foundational understanding hinders and breaks down the dialogue and denies holistic living. Here is where the facilitator role comes in: to clarify what is going on and what needs to be paid attention to. Participants, especially newcomers should expect some educational moments/ phases with regard to this, but only temporarily, and the facilitator role should be quickly dropped in order for the dialogue to run itself instead of assumed roles running it.

The main facilitator for this program is: Ayham Kader

Expanded description and induction

To participate it is essential to go through some of the following reading and listening material to see if this is for you or not:

Holistic Dialogue is a type of conversation that goes beyond the everyday particular mind to discover and uncover whatever needs to be addressed at this point and time, which could range from the dynamic of interpersonal relationship, the communication of real world problems and the exploration of areas beyond human conflict, such as creativity and the evolution of man. This is not a discussion or a debate, but it is an ever-changing form of communication and learning that is new to most of us - and it is factually new every time in its undertaking, which gives it the potential for transforming our consciousness and pattern-making habits.

At some points the potential harmony reached could be recognized as therapeutic and evolutionary by the participants, yet the dialogue is not limited to that and nor does it aim for it. It is an ever-evolving process that goes beyond any expectation and assumed need of the individual and the group. Holistic Dialogue is a way of approaching learning anew every time.
