A Benefit for The Ridhwan School and Spirit Rock

Description:
Experience an exploration of the spiritual journey as a path of love, where the heart’s discontent becomes the doorway to ultimate fulfillment.

Although the heart seeks fulfillment in people, possessions, and experiences, no external love can truly satisfy our deepest longing. Our discontent is an opportunity—a sacred invitation to turn inward. True fulfillment arises only when we empty our hearts to make space for the formless and intangible inner Beloved that is our true nature.

Join A. H. Almaas, founder of the Ridhwan School and the Diamond Approach, on a transformative journey of the heart. Discover how the search for love leads us through emptiness into a luminous darkness—a place where the mind is confounded, but the heart awakens to a passionate love for the unknown and to its potential for resting into the deepest fulfillment possible.

This half-day retreat is based on the new book, The Inner Beloved: The Heart’s Journey to Divine Unity (Shambhala, 2026). Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the bookstore, and onsite participants may have their copy of the book signed.

Sliding Scale: Our sliding scale options will support The Ridhwan School and Spirit Rock.
