With the world in a state of uncertainty, what allows us to trust?
In our usual way of trusting we may trust in particular things— an individual, your mind, or a particular situation.
There is something more fundamental than regular trust. Basic Trust, the inherent trusting in the benevolence of reality, is something we are born with. But through our childhood conditioning we become disconnected from that Basic Trust and our True Nature.
When we explore and understand Basic Trust and what limits our experience of it, we can reconnect to our inherent Basic Trust and the benevolence, goodness, and love inherent in reality. With this reconnection, our inner journey and our life can be transformed.

In these changing times, Inquiry, the central practice of the Diamond Approach, offers a powerful, dynamic doorway to becoming more anchored in your own personal experience in the moment. It is a unique method of self-understanding.
We will meet live as a group, and you will have the opportunity to inquire individually with the teacher while in the supportive online presence of the other group members. This is open to the public.
We will also explore and learn meditation, and sensing practice, which are supportive to understanding the Diamond Approach.
