About Us
What is Dialogue?
‘Dialogue’ comes from the Greek word dialogos. Logos means ‘the word’ or in our case we would think of the ‘meaning of the word.’ And dia means through – it doesn’t mean two. A dialogue can be among any number of people, not just two. Even one person can have a sense of dialogue within himself [herself], if the spirit of dialogue is present. The picture or image this this derivation suggests is a stream of meaning flowing among and through us and between us.
Dialogue is not only about techniques or skills. It is more than that. It is about the Heart of the Conversation and not just the art & science. It is about our intention and our heart towards the conversation. What is our intention when engaging in dialogue? Are we curious? Are we open to alternatives and asking how we can understand the other person/s and helping them understand us?
