I so loved this dialogue with beloved Zen teacher, author and award winning mediator Diane Musho Hamilton.

This conversation is for you if you want to learn practical tools for courageous conflict resolution and discover how to transform your anger, fear and grief into potent sources of insight and wisdom.

We explore:

• the distinction between 'waking up' and 'growing up, and how to do both
• why and how to trust even your most challenging emotions
• how to access the trustworthy guidance that comes from true presence
• ways to skillfully navigate the current intensity of political and societal chaos
• how to work with the distinct energies of sameness and difference to know exactly what is needed in difficult conversations
• how to cultivate a sense of wellbeing through a regular mindfulness practice

Join us for an enlightening discussion that blends spiritual practice and the essential skills of human development.
