New Group Forming Now... Lodge Your Application Now...
We are now taking applications for a new group which will undertake it's first retreat from 30 May to 3 June 2012. The group will meet in Sydney three times a year. The retreats are non-residential and held at locations that provide accommodation for those that travel in. For more information contact Rosanna at enquiries@diamondessence.com.au or call 02 9423 6976 and leave a message. Someone will give you a call back. There is also more information (including a brochure, a flyer containing details of the group (updated on 28 February) and links to a series of videos by A. H. Almaas) available.
An introductory session was held in October 2011at Kensington, Sydney and the topic was "An Introduction to the Diamond Approach". This session was conducted by Anne Laney, a senior Diamond Approach teacher in Australia. You can find a 30 minute video excerpt of this session below or watch it on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/39917996
We are
a group of people whose curiosity and love for the truth of inner nature has led us to explore the deepest levels of Being through the guidance of an Inner Work path known as the Diamond Approach.SM
We work with Diamond Approach Teacher, Jean Berwick, and other assistant teachers from the Ridhwan Foundation in the US.
Jean introduced the Diamond Approach to Australia in 1992. Currently there are students in Sydney, Byron Bay, Cairns, Brisbane, Melbourne, Wollongong, the Blue Mountains, Perth, Adelaide, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the ACT. There are also students from New Zealand and Singapore.
There are similar groups in North America and Europe.
The Diamond Approach
The Diamond Approach is the unique modern inner work school developed by A.H.Almaas.
The aim of the Diamond Approach is self-realisation in a gradual, systematic way that is always governed by the individual's unique personal history, capabilities and needs. Individual and group work progresses through levels of development over several years.
This involves a dynamic form of teaching which supports the unfoldment of the soul through the process of open-ended inquiry into personal experience.
This process naturally and gradually activates the unconscious barriers to self-realisation that are unique to each individual student.
With the assistance of a teacher in private sessions, and the teaching of The Diamond Approach at retreats and in small groups, these barriers are made fully conscious.
The student can then mobilise his or her deepest potential - the Essence of one's True Nature. In time, this Essence becomes the source of self-understanding and the autonomous guide for the soul's journey home.
