The "Big Mind Process" is most succinctly described as a combination of western psychological technique with a Zen Buddhist understanding of reality. The primary inspiration for the Big Mind Process exercise is the Voice Dialogue method. Voice Dialogue and Big Mind are similar to a variety of awareness exercises in Gestalt psychology, with Big Mind situating this process within a Buddhist ontology that moves one between the domains of the relative and absolute.

The Big Mind Big Heart approach to life is a method of self-investigation that is straightforward and effective. It's a new combination of tools, a blend of Western psychology and the Eastern traditions, developed for the express purpose of helping us to better understand the mind and the nature of human life.

Open to all levels of interest.
