A new Diamond Approach group is forming this spring!
The Diamond Approach is a dynamic, evolving spiritual teaching that leads to openness, freedom, and realization of the many dimensions of our human potential. There are no beliefs to accept or ideology to embrace—you simply need a sincere desire to know what is true about yourself.
Alongside our central practice of inquiry, we use meditation, movement practices and breathwork to engage and explore our immediate experience. Diamond Approach teachings are offered in an organic, deepening sequence for us to explore personally with others in groups. We learn from each other in these settings and are supported by the presence of fellow students.
Love is the expression of spirit that most profoundly connects our human life with our depth. All the ways we need love are simply reflections of our need for spiritual growth. - A. H. Almaas
We’d like to invite you to our first retreat on the topic of love, taught by local Diamond Approach teachers Kathleen Graham, Jim Lockridge and Kara Vangen.
Love and the Inner Journey
Friday, May 20-22, 2022
What is love? We have lots of ideas about what love is and the word love is often misused and misunderstood. Our need for love is universal and very human. We all want it and need it, not just for our spiritual development but for our very survival.
Love is so essential and yet so full of mystery.
Come join us in this exploration of love; what it means to us and to our spiritual journey.

Retreat Structure:
The initial stages of the teaching will be in the form of weekend retreats, meeting 4 times a year, Friday evening thru Sunday at noon. As the group gets established, additional sessions will be added which will extend the retreat.

Established over 25 years ago, Diamond Approach Midwest is home to a community of sincere and devoted spiritual practitioners from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas, and other states and welcomes students who do not have a group in their region. This May, Midwest Group 4 will be starting an open retreat group which will be a hybrid of online and in person retreats. The teaching team are Midwesterners themselves and have been studying the Diamond Approach together for 25 years.
This on ongoing retreat group (MW4) is now open and welcoming students. Our first retreat addresses Love and its role in our inner journey. What is love? Come join us in this exploration of love.
