Great Lakes Diamond Approach 2

Presents: An Online exploration of Presence

Begins January 21, 2025; 6 to 8:45 ET

Schedule: Jan 21, Feb 11, Mar 4, Mar 25, Apr 8, May 6, May 27

About the Great Lakes Diamond Approach 2: This is a group that is learning the practices of the

Diamond Approach, a contemporary spiritual path. We welcome new members.

This seven-session class will explore Presence. Presence is an actual sense of here-ness—beyond

our emotions, beyond the mind, beyond our ideas. It brings a luminous fullness to our direct

experience that is textured and touchable. It is also the transformative agent that fuels inner work.

Each class will discriminate an aspect of Presence and the specific barriers to realizing it. We will

discover what happens when we open to our experience in the moment.

What to expect: At each meeting there will be a meditation, a teaching and a time to
practice inquiry, a primary practice of the Diamond Approach.

Sessions taught by: Lou Weir and Julia Lowe, certified Diamond Approach teachers.

Cost: $210

Weekend Retreat-Exploring Peace

Meditation and Inquiry Retreat 

June 12, 13, and 14, 2026, In Person

 July 8 Online 

Though the world may be a reflection of our collective inner lack of peace, our individual experience can be independent on the outside world. And our own inner striving and beliefs can prevent us from feeling the deep relaxation and seemingly mysterious place of stillness and peace. We will spend the weekend looking at the barriers and also the felt sense of this quality of our true nature. Come join us!

About the Great Lakes Diamond Approach 2:
This is a path developed by A. H. Almaas and made for our time. It includes the wisdom of

the ancient traditions and the findings of modern psychology—
designed to support a return to our essence, our true nature. 

Schedule:
Friday, June 12 6pm to 9pm EST; Sunday, June 14 9am to 12:30 EST; Saturday, June 13 9am to 5pm EST;
Wednesday, July 8 6pm to 9pm on Zoom

What to expect:
We will have teachings, meditations, body sensing practices, and inquiry, one of the foundations of our practice.
The retreat theme is Peace.



This retreat will be taught by Lou Weir and Julia Lowe, ordained Diamond Approach teachers.

Cost: $265 or $240 if paid before May 12

We will meet on Friday at 180 Little Lake Dr #1. Ann

Arbor, Michigan
