Waking Up & Growing Up: A Transformational Weekend with Diane Musho Hamilton

Friday, March 28: 7-8:30 &
Saturday, March 29: 9AM – 4:30 PM

Discover the two most life-changing paths you can embark on—Waking Up and Growing Up.

Waking Up is the profound experience of awakening to your essential nature, known across mystical traditions as Enlightenment, Cosmic Consciousness, or Unity Awareness. This transformational state has inspired countless seekers in traditions like Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism, and Christian mysticism.

Equally essential yet often overlooked is Growing Up, the journey of personal evolution through the developmental stages of life—from infancy to adulthood and beyond. Research shows that Growing Up is key to cultivating emotional maturity, resilience, and meaningful relationships.

But what if you could explore both paths in one integrated experience?

This extraordinary weekend offers just that. Under the expert guidance of Diane Musho Hamilton—a Zen teacher and dedicated student of Ken Wilber for over two decades—you will explore:

Waking Up Practices

• Meditation to still the Mind
• Big Mind to discover Boundlessness
• Techniques to Open the Heart

Growing Up Tools

• Recognizing and transforming defensive patterns
• Self-regulating your nervous system for resilience
• Cultivating emotional maturity and interpersonal skills

This unique workshop weaves together the wisdom of Zen and developmental psychology to help you unlock profound, lasting transformation in your life.

Whether you’re seeking recognition of your true nature or practical skills to navigate relationships and life’s complexities, this weekend offers tools, insights, and practices you need to make real, meaningful change.

Don’t miss this opportunity to awaken, grow, and contribute. Scholarships available. Registration option for Friday night only is available. Registering for Saturday includes the Friday night talk.
