Ongoing Events
Our work is taught in groups committed to long-term inquiry and exploration under the guidance of experienced Diamond Approach teachers. We teach how to ground, sensitize, recognize, and trust the inherent guidance of Being. The school community manifests a field of presence and deep learning based on the years of each group’s shared personal inquiry and other practices, rooted in sincerity, trust, and dedication.

Basic Trust
« When our personal experience includes basic trust, you are courageous and authentic. You take risks. You don’t sit on your capacities. You engage in life wholeheartedly, doing what feels appropriate to you with the confidence that it will work out. Without much basic trust, you are paralyzed with fear of failure
and fear of rejection. ».
Facets of Unity, A.H. Almaas.
The Diamond Approach is a path of wisdom through direct experience. An ongoing Diamond Approach group is now forming. The group meets four times a year with monthly interim meetings. We are currently online until it is possible to meet in person. These experiential retreats include teaching of the Diamond Approach, inquiry, meditation, and body-based practices.

Community is about being fully ourselves with each other and being together. It has a power to do things that we can’t do individually, especially regarding our own growth and development.

Book Study Group: The Unfolding Now
Please join us for a book study group on « The Unfolding Now » by A.H. Almaas (Hameed Ali), founder of the Diamond Approach.
The keys to self-knowledge and deep contentment are right here before us in this very moment – if we can simply learn to live with open awareness. « The Unfolding Now » presents a marvelously effective practice for developing the transformative quality of presence through a particular method of self-observation and contemplative exploration that A.H. Almaas calls “Inquiry”.
This book group will include meditation, experiential exercises and study of the text to learn how to welcome with curiosity and compassion whatever we are experiencing including the many obstacles that keep us from being present such as defensiveness, ignorance, desire, aggression and self-hatred.
