This year’s theme beckons our hearts to embark on a sacred journey together. Entering through the doorways of longing and discontent, we’ll learn to follow our hearts through the hurt and frustration of our difficulties with love to a whole new realm of love – the inner sanctum and source of all love itself.
The journey begins on February 17th 
with the release of The Inner Beloved: The Heart’s Journey to Divine Unity – the latest book by Diamond Approach Founder, A. H. Almaas (Hameed Ali). This is the third and final book in The Journey of Spiritual Love Series.
To introduce us to the profound inner journey that this book invites, Hameed will be giving two talks on The Inner Beloved. The first is the Spirit Rock Meditation Center Book Talk on February 21st in Woodacre, California. The second Inner Beloved Book Talk will be online and in person at our center in Berkeley, California on Friday, March 13th at 6:30 PM PT. These are free events with an option to make a donation.
In these talks, Hameed will invite us into the heart’s transformative journey where we will discover how the emotional heart’s dissatisfaction can become the doorway to the true heart’s ultimate fulfillment.
We’ll hear how the format of this new book takes us beyond an intellectual understanding of the process, into the experience of opening to the true satisfaction and contentment of the inner beloved.
This spring Hameed will teach the long-awaited Quantum View of Spirituality Lecture Series, a timely teaching incorporating quantum theory’s understanding of the importance of the individual in scientific discovery and how this orientation can also free us from subconscious or rigid views about spiritual truth.
The painful consequences of our human tendency to dismiss or devalue perceptions that differ from our own are readily apparent in the world these days. In this series Hameed will show us how to counteract this tendency as he addresses how very different spiritual truths can coexist with equal validity.
We’ll learn how this view can unite us from our depth without oversimplifying, bypassing, or collapsing the importance and uniqueness of each individual and spiritual tradition. We hope you’ll join us for these three, free live talks and Question and Answer Sessions with Hameed to explore a mysterious, illuminating, and dynamic understanding of the inner journey—one that confronts habitual perceptions and liberates your capacity to experience true nature in yourself and others.
This fall, after a year-long pause to complete our technology upgrade, we’ll once again have the opportunity to inquire together in an online course. From October to December, Hameed and Karen will be teaching a webinar and The Inner Beloved Online Course. This much-anticipated program will invite us into direct, experiential contact with the depths of the heart through live teachings, practices, and Question and Comment sessions with the teachers and our global community.
If you’ve not read Love Unveiled and Nondual Love, the previous two books in the Journey of Spiritual Love Series or taken the Way of Love Online Course based on those books, now would be a great time. While not required, they provide a wonderful foundation for The Inner Beloved teachings. The Way of Love: Waking the Divine in the Human Heart is a 3-part exploration of what love really is, the ways it shows up in our human experience, and how we can move through inner obstacles to realize its full expression.
No matter where you start, we welcome you on this year’s journey of discovery and look forward to supporting the knowing of your heart this year.
