So you might see that the spiritual journey is not a matter of going someplace—it is a matter of opening up to the possibilities of exactly where you are right now.

DHTEN is temporarily on zoom,
for the rest of the year, while our Center is being renovated.

The group and the work we are doing is deepening in many ways. We just finished our work on the Yellow - Joy - aspect. We will next meet in November, from the 3rd to the 5th.
Please tell your friends that might be interested, that they can join us and have a taste of the kind of deep work we do here.
We are entering into the mysteries of our soul! As Rumi says: "People are going back and forth,
across the doorsill where the two worlds touch; the door is round and open... "

You can send them to our website, DiamondHeartColorado.com

PUBLIC EVENTS
New Introductory Webinar for DHTEN

LOVE AS MOTIVE
A free introductory webinar, open to the public.
What do you love most deeply? You may love your partner, children, pets, car, home. You may love safety and comfort, or perhaps excitement and adventure. Maybe beautiful music, or art, or being in nature lights up your heart. Whatever you love you naturally want to be as close to it as possible, to know everything about it. You want to know the innermost truth of what you love. When we look closely we see that love itself is the motivating force for this desire to know, to be close, to be one with what it is you love. At the very depth of all these loves is the love for Truth itself. Our deepest love and desire is to know and be who and what we truly are. "Love is the motive force that makes you desire to know the truth."* In this free webinar we will explore the Love of Truth, and what gets in the way of following that love to our deepest nature and truth.

* "Love Unveiled", by A.H. Almaas, 2020, p. 12.

Book Group
Love Unveiled: Discovering the Essence of The Awakened Heart
By A.H. Almaas
ON ZOOM
We all have our own experience of what love means in our lives. What if there is more to love than we believe?

In the first book of a three volume series, A.H. Almaas invites us to cut through all the historical and cultural veils around love and explore its essential nature.

Please join Diamond Approach teacher Beverly Alexander as we delve more deeply into love and the multifaceted way it does and can impact who we are and how we live our life. Beverly brings her experience as a psychotherapist, cranial sacral therapist, and a rich family life to the wondering and curiosity of what really is love?

Do we really embrace it in all of its facets or do we think we know and limit its abundance. The class will have discussions and inquiries into what we have read and what comes up for us.

The group will run for 6 Wednesdays from 6:15 pm to 8:30 pm ON ZOOM. Dates are October 11th, 25th, November 8 and 22nd and December 6th and 20th.. All Wednesdays.

The cost is $150 for the series. Sliding scale available. 

Please email Bev at alexander.beverly@gmail.com to sign up or with any questions. No prior
experience necessary.

All are welcome. Invite your friends.

The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Wendell Berry, The Selected Poems off Wendell Berry
