About Diane

Diane has been a practitioner of meditation for almost 30 years. She began her studies at Naropa University in 1983 with Choygam Trungpa Rinpoche, and became a Zen student of Genpo Roshi’s in 1997. In 2003, she received ordination as a Zen monk and received dharma transmission from Roshi in 2006. Diane facilitates Big Mind Big Heart; a process developed by Genpo Roshi to help elicit the insights of Zen in Western audiences. She has worked with Ken Wilber and the Integral Institute since 2004. Diane was the first Director of the Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution for the Utah Judiciary, where she established mediation programmes throughout the court system.

 

She is the recipient of several prestigious awards for her work in this area, including the Peter W. Billings Award from the Utah State Bar, the Utah Council on Conflict Resolution Peacekeeper Award, the Judicial Administration Award and Friend of the Court.

Her work as an expert mediator and facilitator will expand in 2013 into an international series of workshops and certificate training programs on Integral Facilitation. The European training events will be announced soon.

Diane is also writing a book to be published by Shambhala Publications in 2013.
