Die zentralen Seminareinheiten dieses Programm werden von Elizabeth Debold und Team auf Englisch gehalten. Wir bieten aber auch deutschsprachige Übungsgruppen an, um Emergent Dialogue auf Deutsch zu üben.
The first two modules aim to give you enough instruction and practice to start to stabilize your awareness in and of Interbeing. Once you can consciously surrender and give yourself to the subtle, living intelligence of Interbeing, then you can start to co-consciously create and begin to engage in sense-making from the intelligence of the space between. The third core module offers you a safe and exciting space to put into practice all that you have learned so that you can bring it into different situations in your life. Together, the teaching team and participants will decide on topics for dialogue. Each session will give you the opportunity to dialogue in random small groups and then to come all together to share and clarify what actually happened.
The Module meets every Wednesday from April 22 to June 17th, 2026. The sessions last up to two hours, starting at 17:00 CEST (which is 11:00 EDT, 8:00 PST, and 8:30pm IST). All sessions will be co-led by the Team and participants. Small groups will be held in each session and will be either random or self-organized. While participants will have a range of experience, no Catalysts will be assigned to guide the groups. Each group will take care of itself. There will always be one group led in German.
is an individual and collective awareness practice that evokes Interbeing, a new human potential for love and creative synergy. “Interbeing” is just that: a being or living presence that comes alive between and in and through us. It is emergent, meaning that it is something new and surprising that arises out of the not-already-known. And it depends on us, on human choice, to realize its potential.
brings to life the magic of language to manifest new dimensions of reality out of the imaginal. Through sharing in collective sensing and sense-making, this dialogue practice opens a space where paradox is resolved in surprising ways. An emergent capacity for human togetherness rooted in non-separation becomes the foundation for deep inquiry into Life itself. It points to a way that our uniqueness and diversity can cohere and synergize in a complex unity.

The only way to discover Interbeing is through practice. You cannot learn it by studying or thinking about the concepts only; Interbeing is something that comes to life in Emergent Dialogue in a group setting. This dialogue practice is more than just speaking together; it’s a matter of sensing, presencing, letting go, choosing, and being available to the emergent edge of what wants to happen between us.
During the course of the Module, you will have many opportunities for practice. We combine ongoing instruction and exercises in each teaching session, and alternating weeks of small practice groups will allow you to explore and develop what you have learned.
Transmission & Initiation. The first, and most important, element in learning Emergent Dialogue is an experiential recognition of this living space between us that we call Interbeing. Establishing this through transmission is essential. It is an initiation into collective presencing.
Experience & Exploration. Practice starts with perception training: developing the sensing “muscles” to perceive the subtle, embodied connectivity of the living intersubjective field. Again, this is not a concept or an idea, but depends on the palpable experience of this field and the sensitivity to recognize it. From here, we inquire together into the nature of this space of Interbeing, and in the process, it and we develop a new way of being human together.
Understanding. In addition to exploring and inquiring together, we will also provide content for the mind to place Interbeing and the practice of Emergent Dialogue in a larger context. This includes philosophy, history, developmental psychology, and cultural evolution.
This last module explores how to work with the practice as a tool for transforming culture. We explore how Emergent Dialogue creates the potential for new forms of collective learning and intersubjective sense-making. We practice Emergent Dialogue with a wide variety of topics and explore the space beyond polarity. In this, a new potential for a culture of Ereignis, arises between us. Diversity is held in a wholeness that emerges from the synergistic intelligence of the whole.
Together, in active participation in the large and small sessions, we will explore and practice:
Discussing topics that are challenging and cause division
How to counteract polarization through emergent dialogue
Reaching a new level of collective learning
How to stay open to interbeing in the midst of intensity
Becoming more aware of our own shadows and fixed ideas
How to be fully in the dialogue and not stepping out to observe
Developing deeper trust in interbeing and in our humanity
And you will share all of this in the company of curious, high-spirited fellow humans.
Register NowStart with a check in and introduce the topic for dialogue. This may be a reading or a topic. Participants will be invited to suggest topics that the whole group will choose from.
Dialogue in random small groups for approximately an hour.
In the last 30 minutes, explore what happened in the groups and how to respond to challenging or unexpected situations.

Our aim is to bring this process of emergent interbeing to as many human beings who would benefit from its potential as possible. We recognize how urgent it is to discover new ways of sense-making together and to unleash a deeper creativity to respond to the crises we are in as a species. This emergent capacity for intersubjective dialogue belongs to humanity, not to us. We want to make it available as widely as possible so that money is not an obstacle to anyone who sincerely wants to take part.
We offer all of our programs in the spirit of the gift economy—or, in German, a Geschenkkreislauf—where we offer what we have learned and you respond with a gift, usually a financial contribution. However, we have come to realize that, for some programs and this program in particular, we cannot simply offer it for free and ask for contributions. Too many who sign up for free end up not having a commitment to the program, which makes the practice groups unstable and hurts the learning environment. So, we are asking for a specific contribution when you register.
To help us cover our costs and be able to continue our work, we ask you to contribute 320 euros. That amounts to about 25 euros per session.
If you cannot afford this contribution–due to being a student, getting hit by inflation, having a fixed income, living in a country where this is far too expensive–then please be in touch with us. Or if you need to pay in installments, say of 100 euros per month, we can arrange this.
We also invite you, if you are able, to make a contribution of 500 euros as a Benefactor. Your contribution will help provide scholarships to those who cannot afford to contribute financially and are eager to learn. AND…
AGAIN, IF YOU TRULY WANT TO COMMIT TO THE PROGRAM, AND NEED A FEE REDUCTION OR PAYMENT PLAN, PLEASE BE IN TOUCH. We have scholarships and will not turn away any motivated person who happens to have financial limitations or who lives in a part of the world where this is far too expensive.
