You'd like to know what's behind mediSAYtion ...
And we’d love to tell you!
The practice of mediSAYtion came from a seed, passed over for years, and yet passed on to us by people who spent their lives meditating silently.
“Passed over” because those who knew of this practice seemed to be satisfied with their silent practice, and were not looking for something new. “Passed on” because it was known to have potential, and so was shared through the years via a chain of silent, solo practitioners, in the hope that some day, someone might run with it.
Dale Figtree was a devoted meditator who’d been exposed to this seed along her 45 year path of solo, silent meditation practice. She met Alan Cooney, a man who wanted to meditate, yet who had tremendous difficulty sitting still for any length of time. Dale showed Alan this seed of a spoken partner practice. He could do it! And he LOVED it.
Dale and Alan expanded, refined, and explored what’s possible with the practice while doing it daily. Their excitement at its tremendous value gained momentum, until Alan gave it a fun name and decided to build a website to share it with the world.
We know the practice today as mediSAYtion, and this community website is for the purposes of sharing and practicing it.
