Writing is a brief, structured practice of responding to a writing prompt, followed by time for individual and group reflection. The writing is for you-the participant. This practice is for everyone. You do not need to consider yourself a 'writer' to participate. This is not a writing workshop, and you are never required to share anything you write. Participants often report gaining new perspectives, thinking about experiences in new ways, and reconnecting with parts of their lives that they value but don't often pause to reflect on.

They have been divided into 6 working groups working on the topics of the legal self, constitutionalism, theocracy, language, female clerical authority, and the persecution of heretics. The Dialogue is not merely meant to identify similarities and differences, but to allow scholars to think their "own" tradition conceptually anew through this encounter.
