What is a Modern-Day Spiritual Path?

A live online webinar with A.H. Almaas

Sunday, February 5th at 10:00 a.m. Pacific

What is a Spiritual Path and Why is it Important in Modern Times?

Today’s discouraging news cycles can sometimes make us feel like humanity is bent on self-destruction. This feeling is only overwhelming, however, when we lose touch with our true spiritual nature.

In the midst of challenging times, turning inward with the support of a spiritual path becomes even more essential. Not only in helping us navigate difficulties in ourselves and the world, but in helping shift humanity itself into a more loving, unified place.

But what is a spiritual path in modern times? Is it about following a particular teacher? Discovering the mantra that heals our pain? Achieving realization? How does it differ from structured religions that hold definitive ideas about what is true and how we should be in the world?

Join us on Sunday, February 5th, as A.H. Almaas, founder of the Diamond Approach, leads us in an exploration of these important contemplations. Together we will learn what a spiritual path is and isn’t, and see how engaging in one can support us in our daily lives and chart a new course for our collective future.  

"That is what spiritual teaching gives to the world: A possibility of unity beyond the differences"

- A.H. Almaas, Diamond Approach Founder

During our time together, we will discover...

What a spiritual path actually is and what one looks like in our modern-day lives

The difference between commonly accepted forms of spirituality that tell us what to believe vs. a path that guides us in discovering the truth for ourselves

How a path helps us directly experience love, strength, groundedness, and many other qualities that ease suffering in ourselves and our communities

How the orientation of the Diamond Approach, rooted in both ancient spiritual tradition and modern psychology, gives us the tools to move through the wounded places in us so we can know the truth of who we are and be liberated

That spiritual exploration can be a joyful adventure of discovery that allows us to more deeply enjoy our inner and outer lives

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 Diamond Inquiry™: non-judgment of what we’re experiencing, which brings crisp clarity into one’s own truth.
