Miles Kessler Sensei
ECCU, 75 South 200 East, SLC
Join Diane Musho Hamilton, Zen Teacher, author, and award-winning mediator and facilitator, and Miles Kessler, dual-lineage holder in both the Iwama tradition of Aikido and the Burmese Mahasi tradition of Meditation for a live practice intensive in Salt Lake City, Utah.
During the five-day immersion, you will awaken and refine your in-the-moment conflict resolution skills to bring more vitality and energy to your relationships – at work, at home, and in your communities.
This intensive brings together two powerful teachers of dharma who will guide you in:
- Expressing effective, fearless authenticity in your communications.
- Exploring the polarities of active and receptive principles; masculine and feminine forms and expression.
- Aikido practices: Embodying clarified, confident, and fiercely loving presence.
- Experiencing how working with difference, dissent, and discomfort is a sure and swift path to true intimacy.
- Appreciating conflict as a gateway that invites more care and more compassion into your life and spiritual practice.

You will enjoy healthy and nutritious meals during the retreat. Meals are largely vegetarian, with some other protein options at lunch.
The meditative walk on Friday or Saturday will include a vegetarian/vegan lunch at a local restaurant. The cost of the lunch is included in the retreat fee.
Main courses are mostly vegetarian with other protein options available at lunch. Everyone is served the same meal. If you have medically necessary dietary restrictions, such as strictly gluten-free or lactose-free, we ask that you bring your own food to supplement. We will have gluten-free cereals available at breakfast and a limited supply of other gluten-free items at other meals. A medically diagnosed allergy to seafood or nuts requires that you inform us, and maintain your own rescue medication, such as an epi-pen.
We regret we are not able to prepare special meals for individuals or provide refrigerated food storage in the kitchen.
PARKING
Parking is free at Artspace Zendo. Ask for a TAZ parking sticker to use Visitor parking spaces in front of the Artspace Building and parking in the Macaroni Flats lot next door to the south. The sticker is free and must be visible on the driver side windshield of your vehicle to assure that parking enforcement can see your authorization to park after hours and for extended periods.
