The Diamond Approach, developed by Founder A.H. Almaas is a dynamic, evolving spiritual teaching that leads to openness, freedom, and realization of the many dimensions of our human potential—especially the amazing beauty of our inner nature.

Drawing on modern psychology and ancient spiritual wisdom, the central orientation of the Diamond Approach is “to be in the world but not of it”. We still wake up and handle our day-to-day responsibilities and joys and participate in the world through our work—as nurses, business owners, artists, teachers, parents, and in any number of roles—all the while remembering that we are ultimately reflections of something deeper.

Diamond Approach teachings are offered in an organic, deepening sequence for us to explore personally with others in groups. Alongside our central practice of inquiry, we use meditation, movement practices and breathwork to engage and explore our immediate experience. We learn from each other in these settings and are supported by the presence of fellow students.
