What kind of early environment is needed to grow and develop as human beings?
A good holding environment is needed that provided a sense of safety and security, the sense that you are, and can count on, being taken care of. Your soul needs an environment that is loving, dependable, consistent, attuned to your needs, and that provides for you in a way that is empathic to those needs.
By exploring our childhood environment, we can understand what allowed for, and what limited, our experience of a good holding environment. This understanding allows us to reconnect to an essential holding environment that is loving, kind and ultimately takes care of us in a real way. 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.
