Ongoing Group 

Diamond Heart 11

For those who feel deeply engaged by the Diamond Approach, the introductory weekends can serve as a gentle doorway into a more ongoing spiritual exploration. In Fall 2026, we’ll be forming a committed in-person group called Diamond Heart 11 (DH11) — and you’re welcome to explore that possibility at your own pace.

DH11 will meet 7-8 weekends per year at the Ridhwan Center and will be led by Ben Centanni Deb Sylvan and Eme Le Cavalier, with supervision from Byron Brown and occasional teaching by Hameed Ali. This is an in-person only group; there will not be a zoom option. Once the group has been established for some time, it will close to new participants so that the field can deepen and support the shared journey of the teaching. 

Participation in the ongoing group is a deeper engagement that supports the richness and continuity of the teaching. Members are encouraged to attend all weekends. If a weekend must be missed, students will still receive the audio recordings of the teachings and are invited to stay connected by listening to the material and completing inquiry practices through journaling or with a partner from the group.

Ongoing participation also includes:

• Monthly small group inquiry sessions (12–18 participants). Groups will be in-person, and usually scheduled on evenings or weekends. An effort will be made to put you in a group that works with your schedule.

• One-on-one sessions with an ordained Diamond Approach teacher (usually every 2-3 weeks)

Costs

• $175 per weekend

• $100–$130 per one-on-one session (depending on the teacher)

• Monthly small group sessions ($45) begin after the ongoing group is established and closes to new members, likely sometime in 2027.
