| Integral Meditation A 5-Day Retreat with Diane Musho Hamilton Friday 5 Wednesday 10 Sept 2008 This five day retreat gives you space and time to explore the depths of Big Mind and Big Heart through an Integrally-framed range of meditative, psychodynamic and body practices. Diane Musho Hamilton Sensei is the dharma successor of American Zen Master Genpo Roshi, and is his first successor in the Big Mind lineage. Diane's program will lead you through Zen meditative practices, psychodynamic shadow work, and the Big Mind process. The retreat will also include bodywork and energetic practices to provide you with a rounded transformative experience that engages the full depths of your self through mind, body, spirit and shadow. Big Mind is the name given, by Genpo Roshi, to a straightforward and effective method of self investigation designed to give you an experience of your unconditioned nature. This process is a new synthesis of methods from western psychology and the non-dual wisdom traditions which successfully navigate core aspects of your psyche to reveal the compassionate nature of your heart and to cultivate a better understanding of the limitless wisdom and presence of your mind. Diane is a truly impressive teacher who uniquely holds status as a Zen sensei, Big Mind process facilitator, and as a key teacher with Ken Wilber's Integral Institute. She is also a professional mediator, group facilitator, and trainer in conflict resolution. With a demanding international teaching schedule, this retreat presents a rare opportunity to study and practice with Diane on her first teaching visit to Australasia.

Meditation for Today Meditation for Today was established in 1993 by Philippa (then Pip) Ransome, when Venerable Ayya Khema (1923-1997) asked her to teach meditation and the Dhamma. Ayya Khema, one of the great mystics of the twentieth century, is remembered for the clarity of her teachings and especially her understanding of the meditative absorptions. Philippa is one of only 6 teachers in Australia authorised by Ayya to pass on the Buddha’s teachings and Meditation for Today is dedicated to this purpose. The teaching is pure, simple, joyful and speaks to the heart. |
