Everything is Workable with Diane Musho Hamilton

Diane Musho Hamilton Sensei is a gifted mediator, facilitator, and teacher of Zen and Integral Spirituality. She has been a practitioner of meditation for more than 25 years. She was great at navigating our conversation with listening to our personal stories and relating her wisdom to them.

Our discussion includes the following:

  • How her book came to be
  • Relationship on conflict resolution is a weakness among meditative communities
  • Zen teaches to become intimate with oneself but doesn't necessarily support harmony in relationships
  • Feeling the ego of our old nervous system
  • Experience teaching the National Women's Judge Conference
  • What the growing of mindfulness in the mainstream means
  • What is panic and where is it in the body
  • Finding the intelligence in fear and learning to live with it
  • Simple emptiness on one hand and the evolution of self-identity on the other
  • What is in an apology
  • Working in the personal domain for conflict resolution not only helps in personal but systemic change
  • Are we as a species becoming less violent?
