Relating to reality as it is

Cost: Free
Teacher: Ashley Wain

If you slow down and notice your inner life – the reactions to your inner and outer experience as they happen moment to moment – you will likely recognise that each event, each particular thing you encounter provokes some kind of negative response, perhaps a rejection, refusal, pushing away, dismissal, or an anxious grasping. We find it difficult, generally, to accept the world as it is. We are often, in subtle or gross ways, inside or out, at war with how things are.

What would it be to know a true acceptance of reality? Would that mean acquiescing to things that are harmful? Would it mean giving up ‘the good fight’? Or is true acceptance something deeper?

In the Diamond Approach we know acceptance as presence that feels like a beautiful blessing, a kind of grace. Join us to explore this rare and wonderful quality.
