Coronavirus and the Diamond Approach

with A.H. Almaas

A free, interactive, online community event

Recording only. This event took place on April 11.

Looking for Support in an Unstable World?

The world is experiencing an unprecedented global health emergency. Confirmed coronavirus cases increase, healthcare supplies decrease, and we’re being asked to stay at home to help flatten the curve. Our daily lives, our normal routines, our certainty have been taken away.

Sheltering at home, the physical withdrawal to help protect the health of others, is necessary. But for some, an unintended side effect of this physical withdrawal has been an inner shutdown.

For some of us closing out the noise of the world is unintentionally closing down our inner experience too.

Physical distancing is necessary, but social connection and personal contact is needed now more than ever. Personal contact with your personal experience – all of your experience including anger, frustration, helplessness, sadness, emptiness, boredom, uncertainty – is needed now, too.

What if you could build your own internal sanctuary amidst the crumbling world structures?

We invite you to join A.H. Almaas (Hameed Ali) Saturday, April 11 at 10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. PT for a special public, online talk, Coronavirus and the Diamond Approach. A.H. Almaas will support you in exploring your current experience to identify internal conditionings that are keeping you in a personal lockdown so you can find the clarity needed to fully live your life.

FAQ

What is the Ridhwan School?

“Ridhwan” is a Sufi word. It means “satisfied and satisfying.” Our school, home to more than 4,000 students across the globe, has the potential to both help you to be fulfilled and to help others be fulfilled. Students learn to ground, sensitize, recognize, and trust the inherent guidance of Being.

What is the Diamond Approach?

The Diamond Approach is the core teaching of the Ridhwan School, a spiritual path that approaches our ordinary experiences, emotions, and sensations in a friendly way of understanding. This radical acceptance of our situation allows something to come through that puts us in touch with our spirituality.

In the Diamond Approach, everything we experience is utilized as a doorway to our spiritual nature. Rather than negating or seeking to transcend parts of our humanness that are considered barriers to realization, we learn to approach each aspect of our physical, emotional, and mental experience with acceptance and open curiosity to discover its truth. We do meditation and other exercises, but the main method is inquiry: non-judgment of what we’re experiencing, which brings crisp clarity into one’s own truth.
