Abstract

A co-operative inquiry group was recruited from amongst members of the co-counselling community who were also practising meditators. The central proposition: "Insight Meditation and Co-counselling can be usefully combined in a single reciprocal session" was rigorously examined during the course of 3 meetings comprising 36 hours of experiential group process, complemented by 5 months - between meetings - of focussed, individual research practice at home. Repeated cycles of action and group reflection found general support for this and related propositions. Results and recommendations for future research were presented in the form of a 'Manual for Practice' pamphlet.
