Join Megan Price for this three-part series to learn about how to cultivate foundational insight skills through an introduction to Insight Journaling. 

Insight, at its core, is a method of self-understanding and discovery which draws on curiosity as its central tool, and prepares us to be authentically curious about others. Cultivating this curiosity benefits from the practice of regular reflection on ourselves as we go about our experiences of daily life. 

In this series you will be guided through questions, prompts and discussion towards developing a practice of Insight Journaling to engage regularly in reflection towards self-understanding and the growth of curiosity.

2022 Annual Insight Summit

Why so curious?

Curiosity didn’t kill the cat you know. That’s just a threat narrative spread abroad by powers that don’t want to be questioned. Sometimes we are those powers. But as you well know, the cultivation of curiosity – the drive for transparency and understanding – is the lynchpin of the Insight approach in all its manifestations, each of which requires courage and self-transcendence. This is the core virtue of all practitioners of the Insight approach.

So get curious! Whether you are new to Insight or an old hand there’s always more to understand – especially in a community that welcomes questions. Join us online for the 4 th Annual insight Summit on September 29 and 30.

Join us to critically engage and celebrate the role of curiosity in mediation, body work, justice, story telling, indigenous world views, artistry and spirituality.

The Insight Summit is an annual event to gather the Insight community through enlivening presentations, conversations and practice. The Summit connects international practitioners, educators and scholars through thoughtfully designed sessions devoted to themes and topics of interest to the Insight community.

We’ll also discuss how our roles and contexts make a difference.

Join Jacinta Gallant for a three-part learning series about how to get started with Insight Mediation.

• Part I: What are we doing that’s so different when we mediate with Insight?  What do we need to learn - and unlearn -  to be highly effective Insight practitioners. In this first session, we will focus on noticing, transparency and role. 

• Part II: OK, I’m noticing… now what?! As Insight mediators, our noticing leads us to choose how we respond. In this second session, we will focus on how Insight skills can help us be productive and responsive during moments of conflict and also when communication between parties is going pretty well. 

• Part III: Keeping cares on the table. As Insight mediators, we want to facilitate dialogue by discovering threats. How do we use what is learned to help parties make decisions about their future that they are satisfied with?

All approaches to personal and social change – the Insight approach among them – are oriented by a theory of change, an account that seeks to explain how things change and why they do. So as Kurt Lewin famously said, if your goal is to understand how to change something “there is nothing as practical as a good theory.”

In conversation with session participants and each other, Marnie Jull and Jamie Price will explore the following set of questions:

· What is the Insight theory of change?

· Is it a good theory?

· Why so?

· What practical difference does it make for Insight practitioners to have this theory in mind as they go about their efforts to make positive change in their area of practice?
