Whenever we are on a path of personal or spiritual growth, we will encounter the inner critic. The Diamond Approach has a very effective methodology of working with this part of our mind, so that we can liberate our life energies and more fully develop our potential. To begin this teaching, we'll be offering a free intro talk on a Saturday morning. This material is appropriate to students of any spiritual or personal growth path. You can attend just the intro talk or also continue with one of the weekend events (see below). Use the button below to register to get the link.

We are offering this in-person weekend exploration in 3 locations. At each weekend, we'll explore 1) how the inner critic develops side-by-side with ego structures, 2) the understanding needed to disidentify from its tenacious grip, and 3) active, embodied methods used to begin to open space for our essential nature to arise, supporting our freedom. The small-group session after each weekend will be a time to follow-up on your application of the material, helping with questions, inquiry, and fine-tuning ways of defending against the inner critic and exploring the space that opens as you do that.
The cost for a full weekend event is US$250 for those who live in the United States or CAD$250 for those who live in Canada. Please inquire if you need a discount to be able to attend.
The weekend events are open to people newly interested in the Diamond Approach, as well as to those who already have had some engagement. The free introductory evening is a prerequisite.
Attending one of these deeper explorations is highly recommended if you plan to join the newly forming Cascadia 5 Diamond Approach group. The inner critic will nip at your heels at every stage of the path, so learning the tools that lead to space and eventual liberation are foundational, then built on further as we journey through the Diamond Approach curriculum.
