Relational Dharma
|
|
Relationship, as practice, invites the same qualities of openness, curiosity, kindness, compassion and acceptance as all expressions of practice. But most of all, it calls us toward actually relating.
Really relating, to our own experience, and to our experience as it is encountered in our relationships with others takes courage – a willingness to actually be present with all that is happening, even when its not easy...
When we learn to stay, to not abandon ourselves, and our own direct and immediate lived experience as it emerges and merges within our experience of another, a new dharma is formed. When discovered, this organic, relational body, unfolds and enfolds us, gently healing the human wound of separation - and the pain of feeling disconnection and alienation.
Through Relational Dharma Inter-Mindfulness Meditation, a new ground is revealed – inviting another way of being, threaded through an interconnected wholeness, ease, beauty, mutual compassion, innate goodness, shared joy and belonging.

Jeannine Davies, PhD. RCC, is a researcher, writer and psychotherapist in private practice in Vancouver, B.C. Her work envisions and models, contemporary, non-sectarian approaches to transforming ourselves and each other through the dharma of relatedness and propelling our higher human potentials. In addition to a doctorate in Psychology, she has trained for over fifteen years in Classical Theravada Buddhism and insight meditation with leading Burmese meditation masters in the lineage of Mahasi Sayadaw, as well as been influenced by Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. Her research has involved the intersection of Burmese Buddhism, human rights and non-violence, intersubjectivity, consciousness and Western Psychology with an emphasis on distilling the core inner energies and outer expressions that catalyze personal and social transformation. Jeannine is the founder of "Relational Dharma", a transformational, spiritual model and psychotherapeutic path of intersubjectivity inspired by a contemporary re-envisioning of the central teaching within Buddhism of interdependence.
"The nature of the mind, the Buddha nature, is not my Buddha-nature or her Buddha-nature. It's just Buddha-nature. It's like the sky. It's infinite and all-encompassing. It's what we all are in our true nature. We are not separate."
