Unlike other Dialogue methods that focus on decision-making and consensus as a result of the process, Bohm Dialogue removes the pressure for agreement or outcomes, enabling the group to surface deeper understanding on the assumptions and biases that often block our ability to listen freely to others, and allowing new thinking and fresh perspectives to emerge.

Key elements of a dialogue process

• The process requires deep listening that allows for inquiry into what is important to individuals and the group. Participants are not required to speak unless they feel moved to do so; the group follows the ‘flow of meaning’ that emerges and moments of slowness and silence are welcome.

• The process invites participants to become aware of what is happening in the moment, including bodily and emotional awareness, in addition to the process of thought, and any judgements or assumptions that arise.

• Dialogue does not require agreement during the process or specific outcomes. However, it does require a willingness to participate with respect, openness and non-judgement.
