What allows us to truly be guided in our inner journey and our lives?
Diamond Guidance is a true inner guide that brightly illuminates our experience. It is like a lighthouse that cuts through the fog of our conditioning so we can understand ourselves with clarity and precision. In this way it guides our inquiry and our lives to greater connection to our True Nature
The Red Essence can manifest as true strength and courage. It gives us a sense of robustness and capacity to meet the challenges in our life. The Red essence is needed to disengage from our superego, the inner critic. With this disengagement more of the truth of who we really are is revealed

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.
