Zayin Neumann, M.A.
Zayin blends time honored shamanic practices with a somatic practice of Interactive Embodied Meditation, all held within a contemporary framework of Integrative Health.  He likes to use the metaphor of gardening to describe his work, which focuses primarily on creating sacred space to work with spiritual and body dis-ease to engender personal growth and transformation.  He also finds himself creating sacred space for new sprouts (babies) and their expecting parents.   The depth of Zayin's "gardening" is supported by comprehensive experiential and theoretical work within the intersection of western psychology, contemporary wisdom traditions, and his own evolution towards his fullest expression through integral gardening.

His own expression is one of transparency and inclusiveness, integrating the ways of being in the world listed below:

• Deep Roots in the Soil
• Deeply moved by the Power that moves us all
• Authentically living his own Big Story
• With clarity and direction provided by Beauty
• Flying with wings warmed by the Sun
  

Zayin Neumann has completed an M.A. in East-West Psychology and is currently working towards his Ph.D. in the same field at the California Institute of Integral Studies. He has completed the Advanced Training in Core Shamanism offered by Michael Harner and the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. In addition, he has worked in intensive settings with several highly respected shamanic teachers and healers from a variety of traditions.   He has completed several intensive trainings with Marina Romero and Ramon Albareda, the founders of ESTEL, a center for integral studies that was located in Barcelona, Spain up until the summer of 2007.  He continues to work very closely with Marina and Ramon, whose work animates The Hummingbird Way and much of Zayin's Integral Gardening.
