• What are self inquiry dyads?

Dyads are a form of self inquiry done with a partner, designed to bring about direct experience of your true nature (also known as kensho, samadhi, or awakening)

• Where does this technique come from?

Developed by Charles Berner in the 1960s, these dyads are a core component of the Enlightenment Intensive workshops, which aim to help participants achieve a direct, non-verbal experience of their true nature or consciousness. The “I AM” app incorporates and is in alignment with the self inquiry of Ramana Maharshi, the Zen traditions, and owes a great debt to the Charles Berner Self inquiry method, as well as the dyad techniques used in modern psychology.

• Who can do self inquiry dyads?

A self inquiry intensive is the most powerful tool that we know of for awakening. It may be the perfect catalyst for awakening at a certain point on your evolutionary journey, but it is not for everyone. One may have physical or psychological healing that needs to happen before doing one of these retreats. Please contact us and arrange a zoom call for more information.
