The extreme softness and delicacy of divine love means that when it touches something, it can only melt it. You may notice your experience sometimes when you touch something very delicate and soft — you yourself tend to soften and relax and let go.

Why the Diamond Approach Matters in a World of Quick Fixes
Join us for an introductory online event with Diamond Approach teacher Andreas Mouskos.
Saturday, December 2, 2023, 10:00AM to 12:30PM MT via zoom.
Feeling stuck in a cycle of quick fixes that promise the world but deliver little? Ever wonder if there is a more authentic, lasting way to spiritual growth and inner peace?
Join us for an informative talk that explores the Diamond Approach, a modern spiritual path that provides the framework and methodology for profound transformation.
Go Beyond the Surface: We'll explore why quick fixes do not work for most psychological and spiritual work. Spiritual realization is not a one-time achievement, though that can happen once in a while; for the vast majority of us, spiritual realization is a gradual, methodical process of discovery and integration. It is a process of maturation of the soul.
Find Depth: Learn about a genuine approach that offers long-lasting inner transformation. The inner journey is not about polishing our personality on the surface and making it better. It's not about self-improvement; it's about radical transformation.
Modern Relevance: Discover how the Diamond Approach can address a contemporary person's spiritual quest, as well as provide ways to meet the unique challenges in many areas of life. The combination of spiritual work with psychological understanding makes a very effective path. This path is for people who want to live their life in the world in a more authentic way.
Join Diamond Approach teacher Julia Dengel for an in-depth exploration of the Inner Critic, that inner voice that judges us, compares us to others, and constrains our capacity for joy and freedom to be ourselves. Through teachings and experiential exercises, we will investigate the origins and function of the Inner Critic, and will learn strategies to reclaim our capacity to be who we are in our depth and power.

A sliver of light
A sliver of light
The crescent moon
A mirror of my soul
Some days a sliver of light
Reveals a part of me
the rest a mystery
On a full moon we can see
The total Pearl
Formed by all things throughout all of time
In its harmonious dance with the universal
Orchestra
Some days reveal the Pearl of me
like the moon
A dance formed by all things
But for now I’m present
With the light of the crescent
And a trust in what I can not see
