Rumi & Hafiz: Mystic Poetry & the Diamond Approach

The poems of Rumi and Hafiz arose out of a rich spiritual and cultural tradition where seekers studied with teachers in intimate group settings and their spiritual unfolding was supported by teachings, practices, and ongoing relationships in community. How can we modern seekers share in the realizations expressed in this beautiful mystic poetry? Is it possible now to find a genuine spiritual path that supports our unfolding in ways that meet us where we are, and support our realization in
our current modern lives?

Join Diamond Approach teacher Julia Dengel for this FREE experiential webinar as we explore the deep and personal realizations expressed in mystic poetry, and how we might find support for our own deep realization. The Diamond Approach is a modern spiritual path, and this webinar will introduce seekers to some of the guiding principles of the path as well as to the practice of open-ended inquiry which supports our presence and unfolding. You too can experience and know the depth and expanse of your being as expressed by Rumi and Hafiz.

Come, Come, Whoever You Are
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times.
Rumi

FINDING YOUR WAY IN A CONFUSING WORLD
A Live ONLINE Introduction to the Diamond Approach

Life today can feel like a lot.
Constant news. Endless scrolling. Big decisions. Pressure to succeed.

It’s easy to feel scattered, anxious, or unsure of your direction.
What if clarity didn’t come from trying harder to figure everything out — but from learning how to slow down, listen inwardly, and trust yourself more deeply?

In this live online webinar, Diamond Approach teacher Chris Krueger will introduce and explore:

how to stay grounded when life feels overwhelming
how to move from reacting to responding
how to access your own inner clarity and guidance
and how inner work can support real strength and peace in daily life

The session includes a short experiential practice, teaching, and open Questions & Comments. No meditation or spiritual background needed — just curiosity.

If you’re looking for more authenticity, resilience, or a deeper sense of direction, this is a great place to start.

This event also introduces Diamond Heart Ten (DHTEN), a long-term group for those who want to continue the journey. We are in the final months of accepting new students

The zoom link will be emailed to registrants on the morning of the webinar.

Come try out a retreat before our Inner Work Group closes later this year!

02/28/2026

Join Russ Hudson - one of the world’s leading Enneagram teachers - for a deep exploration of the Enneagram as a path of awakening to our true nature. A longtime student of the Diamond Approach, founded by A.H. Almaas, Russ brings decades of insight to this work.

In this five-part program, we will explore how personality patterns relate to their essential core, how each Enneatype expresses fundamental human qualities, and how adaptive strategies arise from a felt loss of essence. Russ’s experiential teaching integrates body, heart, and mind.

This is a rare opportunity to learn from a master teacher who brides psychological insight and spiritual realization. Space is limited. Early registration is encouraged.

When: March 20-22
Where: CO Ridhwan Center & on Zoom

What Is Presence—and Why Does It Matter?

January 10–11, 2026
The Boulder Ridhwan Center, 6783 Baseline Rd., Boulder, CO
In person and on zoom. $200 for two days.
10am to 1pm and then 2:30pm to 5:30pm

Presence is our spiritual freedom liquefied, condensed. Presence is an actual sense of hereness—beyond our emotions, beyond the mind, beyond our ideas. Eventually, we recognize that immediacy really means presence.
We know Presence by being it. But how do we come to know it, embody it?
Through the wisdom of our belly, heart, and mind.
Each of these centers can either open us to Presence—or block it.
Head center: caught in identification
Heart center: trapped in reactivity
Belly center: held by rigidity or armoring

Join Diamond Approach teachers Beverly Alexander and Julie Endress for a two-day exploration of how we can recognize, open to, and embody our own living Presence.
Together, we’ll uncover the subtle ways we turn away from ourselves—and the freedom that comes when we turn back.
January 10–11, 2026 The Boulder Ridhwan Center, 6783 Baseline Rd., Boulder, CO
80303. In person and on zoom. $200 for two days.
10am to 1pm and then 2:30pm to 5:30pm

Elixir of Transformation:
Compassion
An Introduction to the Diamond Approach

All of us face struggles, and sometimes we are hardest on ourselves when we hurt the most. Compassion - a capacity inherent in every human being - can be a balm that helps transform our hardest times. In this webinar we will explore how our natural compassion gets blocked and how the liberation of our compassion can fuel our personal transformation by deepening our capacity to be with and understand the many challenging truths in our lives.

This free experiential webinar is designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners who want a deeper understanding of how compassion can support our spiritual transformation. Through inquiry and discussion, you'll learn how to work with blocks and tap into the reservoir of Loving Kindness that is inherent in your very nature.
Join Diamond Approach teacher Julia Dengel for this FREE live, experiential webinar on Saturday July 19 10-12:30pm Mountain Time (9-11:30 Pacific Time; 11-1:30pm Central Time; 12-2:30pm Eastern Time), on Zoom.
