In times of crisis, we often see an outpouring of what we call the “human spirit”: that force that compels people to show up with greater compassion and care for one another.
This love is available to us all the time, yet many of us grapple on a daily basis with how to access it, both for ourselves and others. So what stands in the way?
Since none of us was loved “perfectly” as a young child, we’ve all developed defenses and negative beliefs over time around our lovability…
“Nothing is as important as who you truly are — your essence, which is pure Being.”
- A.H. Almaas

A.H. Almaas (pen name for Hameed Ali) is the founder of the Diamond Approach to Self-Realization, a contemporary teaching that developed within the context of both ancient spiritual teachings and modern depth psychology theories. He has authored eighteen books about spiritual realization, including the Diamond Heart series, The Pearl Beyond Price, The Void, and The Alchemy of Freedom.
He is the founder of the Ridhwan School for Spiritual Development, an inner work school devoted to the realization of True Nature. The orientation of the school is directed toward guiding students to realize their true nature to the fullest realization and further still to endless enlightenment. His next book Love Unveiled releases May 26. Pre-order a copy from Shambhala Publications, Amazon, Barnes & Noble or any other book supplier.
This course is the second part of the 3-part online teaching series Divine Heart of Humanity. Each course in this series may be purchased individually, or you can register for the full series for a combined discount.
“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.
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.
In this pre-recorded workshop, you’ll hear a talk from Hameed, participate in experiential exercises, enjoy music and guided meditations, and learn from other participants in the Q&A portion with Hameed.
