WHAT. In 2025 LiLo has started the Dialogatory Series. The Dialogatory Series sessions have two main features:

(i) they are a space for exploratory dialogues among the LiLo community that may produce complex knowings (including experiential and personal) and generate insights on Life(Living) and Love(Loving) broadly construed;

(ii) they are a laboratory for experimenting with, creating, adapting and evaluating a variety of dialogical methods, strategies, practices and processes.

WHEN. These sessions will take place on the first Saturday of every month, in a repeated sequence of different times to allow for participation across time zones. The first session is on April the 4th, 2026, at 15:00 Lisbon/London time (GMT+1).

HOW LONG. These sessions will last 120 minutes. The first 5-10 minutes are dedicated to welcoming and warm-up exercises and the last 10 minutes to wrapping-up and integrating. The session will be closed 10 minutes after the defined start time to prevent the entry of late participants from disturbing the flow of the group. If some participant needs to leave the session earlier they should do it discreetly and share their impressions or experience of the session either on the session chat or in a dedicated shared document.

FOR WHOM. Full Associates (Fellows), Collaborator Partial Associates, Friend Partial Associates, Honorary Associates. Visitors under special conditions (see below)
Note: The Dialogatory sessions are open to Visitors in the following conditions. Visitors are invited or sponsored by Full Associates/ Fellows or Collaborators who act as hosts and vouch that their participation will respect LiLo’s Values and principles. The Full Associates/fellows or Collaborators must also be present in that session. The Full Associates/Fellows or Collaborators send to LiLo’s Management Board an email indicating the expression of interest of the candidate to visitor, with them in CC. The Board will then provide information for the formalisation of the Visiting membership for that event. For these sessions, the expression of interest is done session-by-session. When conditions are met, a Visitor can then proceed to becoming a Friend.

If you are interested in participating and you wish to know more about the program reach out to us at lilo.web.institute@gmail.com. If you have not participated in any LiLo activity before we may refer you to a Fellow, in case you know one, or invite you to a short introductory conversation about LiLo and the opportunities for participating in its activities.
