Insight Dialogue Asia Pacific Sangha’s 2026 Series on the Whole Life Path
offered by Beth Faria, Jill Shepherd and Anita Bermont
“The Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path provides a wiser way through life than any offered by our conditioning. It’s an intentional path through life’s tangle. And intention is necessary. Any change for the good must face the momentum that made things as they are now. Old habits run deep within us; we complicate, palliate, protect and meander. …
If we truly aspire to ending our personal ignorance and craving, supporting relationships rooted in mettā and compassion, and contributing to human flourishing and a just and humane society, then we need a fully immersive, always-on engagement with the Noble Eightfold Path. We need to engage the Buddha’s path as a whole-life path.” – Gregory Kramer
In 2026, the global Insight Dialogue community will celebrate the fifth anniversary of Gregory Kramer’s book, A Whole-Life Path. Here at IDAP, we’ll join that celebration by exploring the Noble Eightfold Path together, using Gregory’s book as a resource.
Over the course of the whole year*, we’ll discover how the eight factors can be strengthened in both silent and relational meditation and in every moment of our daily lives, powerfully supporting our progress on the Buddha’s path to freedom.
* We will offer a total of eighteen practice sessions, spread over three series of six meetings, with a one-month break between each series.
Series 3 (6 Oct – 15 Dec) will focus on the Meditative factors of the path: Wise Effort, Wise Mindfulness, and Wise Samādhi
Date and Time:
Series 3: 6 October 2026- 15 December 2026
Each series will run for 6 sessions on every other Wednesday (Australia, NZ and Asia)/Tuesday (North America), 10-11:30 am AET
