Introductory Events
The Freedom to Be - 4 Locations
We long for authenticity and to feel at home – in our own
skin and in this world. We suffer when we sense the ways we are disconnected, contrived, afraid to show up as ourselves,
or at a loss for who we truly are. The Diamond Approach is a path of spiritual development that leads to fulfillment and maturity through its broad understanding of our deepest nature and its precise methodologies for working through barriers and opening to direct experiences of Being.
The Freedom to Be is an introductory teaching being offered in four locations (details below) as we prepare the ground for Cascadia 5,
an ongoing Diamond Approach group in the Cascadia /
Salish Sea Region. Although we recommend attending
an entire 1.5-day event, it is possible to attend Friday
evening at no charge and then decide whether to
continue with the full teaching.
The Freedom to Be sessions will be taught by Anne Hoff
and Jamie Baldwin, lead teachers for Cascadia 5.

The Unfolding Now - Book Group - Portland
Realizing Your True Nature through the Practice of Presence
Real life is happening in the present moment. What makes it
possible to access the present moment more fully?
The Unfolding Now by Diamond Approach founder A.H. Almaas is a book that explores just that and reveals how our everyday lives are directly connected to spiritual realities. In realizing these truths, we discover deeper fulfillment and richness in our lives. This book group with Jamie Baldwin is an opportunity for people to find out more about the Diamond Approach and to explore the profound art of self-inquiry and what it means to practice presence.
Join us for a journey through The Unfolding Now. We will begin with the first six chapters of the book over the course of six weekly
in-person meetings in Portland, Oregon. These meetings will include meditation practices of the Diamond Approach, a talk from the readings by the teacher, exercises to inquire into the week’s topic, and time for further exploration through questions and discussion.
Wednesdays 6:30-8:30 pm
Aug. 6, 13, 20, 27; Sept. 3, 10
Fee: $150 (sliding scale available)
Location:
15962 Boones Ferry R., Suite 100, Lake Oswego, OR 97035

One-on-One Sessions with a Teacher
Individual Work
In the private-session work done with a Diamond Approach teacher, the student explores their direct experience in an embodied way as the teacher guides and facilitates the inquiry process. Sessions include dialogue as well as breath work and body exploration on a mat. This process of inquiry always takes us toward true nature, no matter the starting point. Students typically do sessions 1-2 times a month.
