Monthly Thursday Evening Dyads

Once a month on a Thursday evening, we gather online for a 90-minute session using the dyad format from the Enlightenment Intensive tradition — a simple yet powerful practice of direct, spoken zen self-inquiry.

Through silent listening and present sharing, we open a space where the mind quiets, awareness sharpens, and something real can be met — in oneself and the other.

Whether you’re new to dyads or familiar with the EI field, this space welcomes you just as you are.

About the Enlightenment Intensive and Dyad technique

Enlightenment Intensive is a group retreat designed to enable a spiritual enlightenment experience (satori) within a relatively short time. It is a ‘stand-alone’ process outside any organisation or religion, yet it uses a combination of the most efficient tools from traditions such as zen, mindfulness and modern communication techniques. The founder of the Enlightenment Intensive process was Charles Berner, who developed its structure during his research of more effective ways to accelerate spiritual development and personal growth.

The core of the process are enquiry sessions called Dyads that facilitate a physical, mental and spiritual detox. Dyads are enquiry sessions that are held with two people. One listening in stillness, the other communicating their direct experience of this moment in response to the question ‘Who am I?’ After five minutes the roles change.
