A Bohm Dialogue on Love

“Shared meaning is really the cement that holds society together, and you could say that the present society has very poor quality cement…The society at large has a very incoherent set of meanings.  In fact, this set of ‘shared meanings’ is so incoherent that it is hard to say that they have any real meaning at all.” - On Dialogue, David Bohm

In a world that is so much more connected online and yet polarised, true connection - the pathway to love - with each other often feels out of reach. As some of us are feeling even more disconnected, has love lost its meaning?   

If you are seeking deeper meaning on the question of love, join us to experience Bohm Dialogue, a revolutionary approach to communication developed by quantum physicist David Bohm. Together we will co-inquire and co-create meaning on the many experiences and perspectives of love.

This workshop offers you a unique opportunity to: 

- Experience the flow of meaning between minds 
- Cultivate deep listening and suspend judgement 
- Unveil hidden assumptions and explore new perspectives 
- Access collective intelligence and creative insights 
- Foster a sense of unity and shared consciousness 

This Bohm Dialogue, themed around love, is hosted in collaboration with Annabel Dickson. Annabel is a people professional, coach, trainee counsellor and 2x social entrepreneur, co-founding the Youth Funding Network and Makerble. She's now working on start-up number three centred on love.

Don't miss this chance to be part of a transformative experience that could change the way you relate to others and understand yourself. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today and take the first step towards unlocking the full potential of human dialogue.

Session overview

The session will begin with a series of short framing exercises, individually, in pairs and small groups. These simple creative exercises are designed to cultivate curiosity and stimulate deeper thinking on universal experiences and feelings that can be explored in more depth during the dialogue. The dialogue itself is practised in a circle: creating an inclusive and non-hierarchical space. The process requires deep listening that allows for inquiry into what is important to individuals and the group. Participants are not required to speak unless they feel moved to do so; the group will follow the ‘flow of meaning’ and moments of silence are welcome. Dialogue does not require agreement during the process or specific outcomes. However, it does require a willingness to participate with respect, openness and non-judgement.

A note on pricing
I believe that the world urgently needs more dialogue, and that the experience and skills of dialogue should be accessible to anyone. I keep my public facing dialogue workshops as low-cost as possible, to cover the cost of venue hire for in-person workshops and a small contribution for online sessions. 

• If the cost is still inaccessible to you and you would like to attend please get in touch.
• If you are an organisation and would like to discuss how dialogue could benefit you please get in touch. My facilitation and dialogue work in organisations is what allows me to offer low-cost public dialogues.
