Seattle Insight Meditation

Join Nana Gyesie this Saturday for a daylong retreat. Beginners are welcome!

We will be exploring Transcendental Dependent Origination (TDO) as an embodied, lived realization rather than a purely conceptual or metaphysical insight. Situated in the contemporary context of 2026 and beyond—marked by technological acceleration, collective trauma, identity fragmentation, and the commodification of spirituality—the course examines how misunderstood transcendence often becomes a form of spiritual bypassing. Participants will investigate how disembodied interpretations of non-duality, emptiness, or transcendence can reinforce dissociation, ethical disengagement, and unresolved psychological patterns. Through somatic inquiry, contemplative practice, and relational reflection, the training restores Transcendental Dependent Origination as a dynamic, ethical, and nervous-system–aware process—revealing how liberation emerges not by escaping conditions, but by fully embodying their interdependence in thought, body, action, and relationship.
