Gregory Kramer: Not knowing, being present in the moment

Gregory Kramer and I set out to talk about mindfulness, not just talking about being present but practicing what we preach. Our intention was to embody the attitude of not knowing as we stay present with what happens moment by moment. What came out of it is akin to music: the meaning is not so much in the details as in the flow. We invite you to slow down and participate in the process, checking inside what emerges for you as you share this space with us. Gregory Kramer is the Founding Teacher of the Insight Dialogue Community and has taught insight meditation since 1980. He developed the practice of Insight Dialogue and has been teaching it since 1995, having offered retreats in North America, Asia, Europe, and Australia. He has studied with esteemed teachers, including Anagarika Dhammadina, Ven. Balangoda Ananda Maitreya Mahanayaka Thero, Achan Sobin Namto, and Ven. Punnaji Maha Thero.
