Join Us this October 28th for “Dancing With the Collective Field of Light and Shadow” with Zen Teacher Diane Musho Hamilton

Join us this coming Thursday, on October 28th at 5pm Pacific for a dynamic dialog with Sensei Diane Musho Hamilton.

Diane Hamilton is amazing in front of a room — a uniquely skilled, playful, free, and awake group facilitator. She is a Zen teacher in the “Big Mind” tradition, a skilled mediator, and she co-developed Integral Life Practice as a senior trainer with Terry and Ken Wilber at Integral Institute. She is also a specialist in “Shadow Work.”

In this dialog, Diane and Terry will directly engage the collective field of awareness that opens up between everyone gathered for the call. They will invite a dance with the emergent energies of that field, employing Diane’s instinct for speaking to the unspeakable shadow dimensions in an dynamic exploration of integral evolutionary spirituality.

Together, we will inquire into the implications of a new integral evolutionary wave of consciousness: How can we create a meta-sangha of teaching and learning together? How can we be co-venturers on the path? What are the shadows at play in our evolutionary ambition? In our aspiration to new kinds of cooperation? In our collective field of awareness?  In our roles as teachers, students, and even co-venturers?

Diane Musho Hamilton is a fully ordained Zen priest and teacher. She has studied Buddhism since 1984, and was given dharma transmission by her Zen master, Genpo Roshi, in 2006. She works with the Big Mind process; a facilitation technique synthesized by Roshi to convey Eastern teachings to Western audiences.

Diane is well known as an innovator in facilitating group dialogues, especially conversations about culture, religion, race and gender relations. She was the first Director of the Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution for the Utah Judiciary, where she established the original mediation programs in the state court system. She lives in Salt Lake City with her husband, Michael D. Zimmerman, a lawyer and Zen teacher.
