Gathering the Honey of Presence:
Community as Support for Spiritual Realization
The full support of the Diamond Approach has three levels: large group meetings, monthly small group meetings, and private sessions with a teacher once or twice a month.
Large group meetings are held either on five or six weekends a year or longer retreats which meet less frequently. These gatherings include talks on a particular aspect or dimension of Being and the issues that obscure it, and opportunities to explore reactions to the talks through a variety of exercises.
Each large group also breaks down into smaller groups which meet during the same gathering and also monthly. In the presence of the small group, students work with a teacher on their own unique process.
Finally, students also inquire into their unfolding process with a teacher in private sessions that integrate gentle bodywork with inquiry.
Typically, after a period of consolidation, Diamond Approach groups are on-going for many years. A Diamond Approach group gathers the “honey” of Essential Presence and through the members’ commitment to Truth, supports the awakening and quickening of each student’s spiritual unfoldment.
