Big Mind Workshop

This is Dr. Levy's description from our previous Workshop:

Utilizing the Big Mind Process created by Zen Master, Genpo Roshi, this experiential workshop enables participants to see themselves through a multitude of different perspectives.  Rather than a purely intellectual exercise, Big Mind creates powerful temporary shifts of consciousness that open up new personal realities for participants.  In essence, Big Mind offers a glimpse of satori.

Building on the Voice Dialog work of Hal and Sidra Stone, Zen Master Genpo Roshi found a way to make the wisdom of the East accessible to the Western mind by involving the ego in the transformation process rather than trying to suppress it.  The Big Mind process is an extremely powerful technique that allows participants to shift from their typical dualistic perspectives to a nondual state whereby the participant experiences him or herself as including all people and all things.  In other words, barriers between oneself and others are relinquished.  Although this state is temporary in nature, it is powerful enough to have a lasting impact on those who experience it.
