Bohm Dialogue is a group conversation with no agenda, no decisions to make, and no problem to solve. Participants sit in a circle and speak when moved to, while paying close attention to their own thinking and assumptions as they surface. The aim is not to reach agreement or produce an outcome but to observe how thought operates in the group.

How the Bohm Dialogue Workshop Works

A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process

1Setup

Arrange chairs in a circle and introduce the concept of Bohm Dialogue, explaining its differences from typical discussions and stating the ground rules.

2Step 1: Opening and Ground Rules

Welcome participants and explain that there is no agenda or problem to solve. Introduce the ground rules to ensure everyone understands the expectations for participation and dialogue.

3Step 2: Seeding the Dialogue

Offer a broad, open-ended question to initiate conversation. Allow silence to encourage participants to reflect and engage with the topic organically.

4Step 3: The Dialogue

Facilitate the ongoing dialogue, listening attentively and intervening minimally to redirect conversations that become debates or surface-level exchanges. Encourage deeper reflection and awareness of thought processes.
