Dyade Press

Dyade Press – meditation, yoga, psychology, culture, society

Dyade Press publishes books on meditation and yoga, often in the larger contexts of psychology and health, existential issues, culture and society. The press is associated with Acem School of Meditation. It is located in Oslo, Norway, but publishes books in a number of languages (see top menu).

"Dyade" is a common European spelling of the word dyad, which means a group of two. The publications from Dyade Press discuss the life challenges of the individual, but always in a dialogic context, reflecting an emphasis on the interplay of meditation and social interaction.

Dyade is also the name of a Scandinavian periodical, with four issues a year.
