Meditation before a dialogue

Marie-Eve Marchand

What happens in the body and mind before dialogue begins? Marie-Eve Marchand offers a guided meditation designed to prepare participants for the quality of attention dialogue requires.

Members of the Academy can read the full annotation and access the source material. 

Marie-Eve Marchand leads a short guided meditation intended as a threshold practice — something to be done immediately before entering a dialogue session. The meditation works on settling attention, softening the habitual drive to fix or respond, and creating interior conditions that support genuine listening. Rather than treating the container as something established only through group agreements or external structure, Marchand treats it as something each participant must cultivate individually before collective work can begin. The recording is a practical resource for facilitators and dialogue hosts looking to open sessions in a way that marks the transition from ordinary conversation to a different quality of presence.
