Unlock Power, Passion, and Authenticity In Your Relationships

How much happier could you be if you unlocked your power, passion and authenticity in every important relationship in your life?

Join renowned mediator Diane Hamilton in order to enhance your happiness and deepen your relationships by learning to navigate the three native perspectives that can unlock your power, passion and authenticity in every important relationship in your life.

Did you know that close relationships, more than personal satisfaction, is the most meaningful factor in happiness? Research has shown that if you feel close to others you are 4 times as likely to feel good about yourself than if you do not feel close to anyone. (Magen, et al. 1996. International Forum for Logotherapy) But one of the main obstacles to deeper relationships is obvious: we struggle to navigate our own experience while learning to more fully engage with someone else’s experience.

How It Works

Mindblowing Connection is designed to enhance your happiness and deepen your relationships by teaching you to navigate your three native perspectives, unlocking your power, passion and authenticity in every important relationship in your life

In this focused and powerful 1-hour coaching session with Diane, you will learn how to…

Learn the 3 marvelous revolutions in consciousness that are the bedrock of all relationships.
Give yourself the permission to be uniquely who you are and to share that with others.
Learn the perspective that allows you to simply and fully own your sovereign truth and the immense power and passion that come from that.
Learn how to overcome the key obstacles to being authentic, powerful and connected with others.
Connect you with your deepest vitality by engaging in practices that help you tap into each native perspective.
Unlock conversations and meaning in a relationship and get to the deep authenticity by more fully listening.
Open your world up and experience new joy by going through the gateway of new and different perceptions.
Learn to stay present to another person by “relinquishing the I” while being re-energized by another person’s perspective.
Learn to broaden the adventure of your life by reflecting and inquiring into another person’s experience.
Learn to relax your “judging mind” and stay interested in receiving another’s perspective and tap into their emotional tone when listening, even when receiving negative feedback or criticism.

And much, much more!

About the Author

Diane Musho Hamilton

Diane is a uniquely gifted, playful, and awake group facilitator, consultant and teacher of Integral Spirituality and Zen. She is a lineage holder in the Soto Zen tradition, and has collaborated with the Integral Institute and Ken Wilber since 2004, developing the Integral Life Practice seminars and the Integral Spiritual Experience global events. Diane is the co-founder and lead trainer of the Integral Facilitator pathway of programs offered by Ten Directions.

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 mediation programs throughout the court system. She is the recipient of several prestigious awards for her work in this area, including the Peter W. Billings Award and the UCCR Peacekeeper Award.

She has studied and practiced Buddhadharma for over 25 years, beginning at Naropa Institute in 1984 with the teachings of Choygam Trungpa Rinpoche. She was ordained as a Zen priest in 2003 and received dharma transmission from her teacher, Genpo Roshi, in 2006. She is a facilitator of Big Mind Big Heart, a process developed by Roshi to bring the insights of Zen to Western audiences.

With her husband, Zen teacher and lawyer Michael Mugaku Zimmerman, she established Two Arrows Zen, a center for the study and practice of Zen. They maintain two facilities – an urban center in downtown Salt Lake City, and a rural retreat center in the red rocks of Southern Utah where traditional Zen meditation is joined with nature-based practices and shamanic disciplines.

With extraordinary depth and insight, Diane encourages us to consciously evolve beyond old and limited ideas of who we are so that we might discover our own unique expression of wisdom and of compassion in this time. She is the author of Everything is Workable, published by Shambhala Press, and a contributor to Harvard Business Review. Her newest book is The Zen of You and Me, also by Shambhala Press.
