Midwest Diamond Approach 4

EXPLORE WORLDWIDE:
Midwest Diamond Approach 4

Midwest Diamond Approach group 4 is a newly developing group and continues to be open to new students at this time.  In 1996, the Upper Midwest  Diamond Approach was established at the Christine Center, a rural retreat center in Central WI. Over the years students from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri and other midwestern states have become members of MW DA groups 1, 2, and 3. Now, MW DA group 4 is welcoming students, not only from this region, but also to those who do not have access to a local Diamond Approach group. You are welcome to check this new group out for yourself.

The DA Midwest Group 4 meets four weekends per year plus an additional interim session between retreats; Friday evenings through Sunday afternoon. Two retreats are on line and 2 retreats are in person with an online option. Retreats include meditation, DA teachings, question and comments, personal inquiry, and small group meetings. Private individual sessions with a teacher are also available.

All residential retreats are held at the Christine Center in Willard WI. This is a beautiful retreat center nestled in rural Central Wisconsin: https://christinecenter.org 

The Midwest Group 4 Teachers are Kara Vangen, Jim Lockridge and Kathleen Graham, who all reside in the upper midwest and have been students of the Upper Midwest Diamond Approach since the 1996.
