Many of us live our lives in a way that feels lost. We are looking for some kind of guidance from the outside.
What provides true inner guidance to us in our lives and on our spiritual paths?
Diamond Guidance is a true inner guide for our lives and inner journey. Diamond Guidance gives us the capacity to know and understand our experience with clarity and precision. In this way it guides our inquiry and our lives if we are open to the guidance.
The Yellow Essence can manifest as true openness, curiosity and love of truth that is needed to invoke the Diamond Guidance. This allows our inquiry to be truly guided to illuminate and reveal the truth of who we really are.

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.
