DIAMOND APPROACH VANCOUVER |
| A spiritual teaching developed by A. H. Almaas, the Diamond Approach (sm) offers a path to the realization and integration of one's inner nature while leading an authentic and engaged life in the world. Incorporating knowledge and practices from depth psychology and spiritual wisdom traditions, it is a precise and effective method for spiritual transformation. The Diamond Approach is taught in groups in North America, Europe, and Australia and described in books by Almaas and others. |
Diamond Approach groups began in Vancouver, BC, in 1990, January 2003, and January 2006. The structure of the newer groups includes five or six teaching and practice weekends a year, small group sessions, ongoing inquiry groups, individual sessions with Diamond Approach teachers, and an annual retreat taught by Almaas. A new group is currently forming. For details on introductory events, contact Carole Finnegan (cefinnegan (at) yahoo.ca, 604-254-2225) or Jane Hill-Daigle (hilldaigle (at) telus.net, 250-708-2023).

In addition to teaching in Vancouver, Joyce teaches the Diamond Approach in Monterey and Santa Barbara and at the Esalen Institute. John leads international retreat groups and teaches groups in Colorado and Seattle, as well as Vancouver. The author of The Diamond Approach: An Introduction to the Teachings of A. H. Almaas (Shambhala Publications), he also teaches the Diamond Approach at Naropa University. Other ordained Ridhwan teachers are also part of the teaching team in Vancouver, leading small groups and conducting individual sessions with students. |
