About the Teachers

Anna-Lisa Adelberg is a recognized healer, spiritual teacher, and co-founder of the Luminous Awareness Institute, which offers students an awakening and healing path synthesized from Tibetan Buddhism, developmental psychology, neurophysiology, and subtle energy. Her work integrates both psychological and subtle energy work, to ensure that awakening is embodied into our human life and human emotions. She holds a humanistic approach to the character structures which embraces the knowing that we are each intrinsically already good, whole, and complete.

Doshin Daigu Michael Nelson Roshi is the founder and abbot of Integral Zen.  He started meditating and studying Zen in the late 60's, but without the guidance of a good teacher, he was confused and discouraged by the obscurity of Zen teachings.  In earnest, he began studying other meditative practices and martial arts, which were difficult but less obscure.  It wasn't until he met Zen Master Jun Po Kelly Roshi that the disciplined practice and eloquent simplicity of Zen suddenly took root and began to penetrate the dense clouds of his stubborn conditioned mind, revealing the ordinary, openness of vast empty sky.  About the same time, Doshin also began reading Ken Wilber and studying directly with him. Integral Zen was born.

Doshin is a poet, teacher, and troublemaker – a Zen Master of no rank.  He is the founder of Integral Zen and the Poetry of Dying Project, which uses the mirror of death to point to the essence of life.  Doshin worked directly with JunPo as he first released and then developed the Process of Mondo Zen. Doshin uses several similar practice methods, which he calls “Wu Technologies” to initiate curious seekers into a direct experience, a glimpse of the deepest truth of who we are – pure selfless awareness unpolluted by the perceptual illusion of self and the perpetual delusions of conditioned ego mind.
