Self Inquiry Dyad 3 Day Intensive
The “I AM” Retreat- March 13th-15th 2026
Cost: by donation
View Sample Schedule
(Timezone: EST/EDT New York/Toronto Time)
Self inquiry dyad intensives are designed to create conditions of no escape for the ego structure and for the awakening or realization of your true nature.
Working continuously from early morning to late at night, participants alternate roles in dyads (groups of two), where one person is a witness and the other engages in deep inner investigation to realize who they are.
The intensives are in alignment with the self inquiry of Ramana Maharshi, the Zen traditions, and owe a great debt to the Charles Berner Self inquiry method, as well as the dyad techniques used in modern psychology. This is the most powerful tool we know of to bring about “kensho”, or the direct knowing of your true nature. The 3 day intensive is the full expression of this technique, which as we find out is not a technique at all, but an invitation into the unconditioned. Check out the many videos and resources on the ATW self inquiry resource page.

Self Inquiry Dyads
Join the IAM App at: www.selfinquirydyads.com.
Over the past months, we’ve been quietly testing the new IAM app with a small group of practitioners. With their feedback, we’ve been gradually refining and improving it. Now we’re opening it a little bit more widely before we do a full launch. We are inviting those who have attended any past IAM retreat, or anyone who has previously attended any facilitated self-inquiry retreat and is familiar with the dyad technique.
** To give yourself the best chance of connecting with a partner,
please click “Join a scheduled Dyad” in the IAM app, at any of the available scheduled events.
