“This spiritual path is a love story of truth-seeking and truth-finding, of the knowledge of love and the love of knowledge, and of a topsy-turvy magical ride penetrating uncharted universes.”
KAREN JOHNSON - Co-Founder of the Diamond Approach
In the necessary process of developing our everyday self, we grow apart from our truer self, our authenticity. As a result, our day-to-day experience can feel a pale imitation of something more real.
The degree of estrangement from who we truly are, and the circumstances under which this happens, vary from person to person. For many people, the associated feelings of alienation, discontent and purposelessness become an existential crisis.
This moment of truth can evoke a yearning for something different and deeper. Turning inward to discover our depth is often expressed as a desire to discover, ‘Who am I really?’, ‘Where do I truly belong?’, ‘Is there more to life than what I am experiencing?’, and ‘What else can I be?’.
Feeling the drive for self-discovery to realise your spiritual nature and recognising that the external world will not provide what you long for, is a step towards waking-up and becoming a spiritual seeker on a path of self-awareness.
Are these experiences familiar to you?
The Diamond Approach path is a teaching that addresses the heartfelt longings and questions of spiritually oriented people living in the modern world.
Introducing the Diamond Approach
Through exploring the ordinary circumstances of everyday life, this teaching about the realisation of our human potential and how to live that realisation emerged. Here you can watch people talk about their experience on this unique path of self-discovery.
From the perspective of our teaching realising your spiritual nature is often experienced as a feeling of coming home through discovering and loving the truth of who you really are.
Here you can find out more about Diamond Approach Australia, the teachings we offer, and the spiritual practices we use to support your journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.
You can find answers to frequently asked questions such as is the Diamond Approach a religion (no) or a form of psychotherapy (no) here.
Start your journey of self-discovery
Perhaps a desire for this journey is alive in your own heart – quietly, secretly waiting for you to notice. We offer you an invitation to start the adventure of rediscovering the miraculous nature of every unfolding moment.
How you can engage with this path of self-discovery
All you need to become involved is a sincere desire to discover what is true about yourself and the nature of reality. Through teacher sessions, retreats and online learning, we offer you the self-development experiences to continue your inner journey home towards living in harmony with the flow of life.

Discover the Potent Stillness in the Depth of Your Own Being
Do you long to be quiet inside yourself? Do you ever wonder about what personal power really is? Have you felt a sense of beauty and magic open up inside for a moment and wanted more?
Join us for a transformative journey at our “Peace and Power” 5-day retreat. This immersive experience invites you to explore true inner peace and the nature of power. We’ll look at how peace and power are our nature and our birthright, how these qualities get blocked, and how they can be rediscovered and integrated into our life now. Along the way, we will understand how hatred and hostility can be transformed.
As A.H.Almaas writes “Peace: It is not an emotional state or merely the absence of conflict; it is rather the presence of stillness, which is an aspect of Essence. It is the Presence of Being as absolute stillness and calmness. This stillness is not experienced as dull or vague, but as an exquisitely alive kind of consciousness. Peace involves the cessation of the torturous ego activity, with its hopes, and desires, efforts and resistances. That is why it is often equated with ego death. Peace is actually both death and life in the same consciousness.
Pearl Beyond Price, pg. 313
