“When you allow yourself compassion in the heart, the head center opens automatically. They become one center, and there is rest in the mind.” — A. H. Almaas
The presence of solidity impacts our consciousness by making us feel secure and safe, grounded and supported. The Six’s sense of fear is related to the absence of this presence. When we do not have our inner solidity, the feeling is of castration: a loss of will and its power. The response to this intolerable castration is insecurity, fear and anxiety, which are the central characteristics of the phobic Six. The fear response in counterphobic Sixes is covered over by hardness and rigidity compensating for the missing solidity. This inflexibility is what reveals the false will as fake, for true will is flexible even when firm. It is unflappable in the face of challenge or threat and responsive in the face of truth and reality. Hence the liberated individual flows with situations as they arise and responds intelligently and with flexibility in dealing with those situations. There is no sense of weakness associated with being flexible, while for the fixated Six, flexibility implies weakness. (Excerpt from Keys to the Enneagram by A. H. Almaas)

"Loving the truth is giving oneself up to the truth. To love the truth for its own sake means that in the very instant of loving the truth, your self-centeredness has vanished." — A. H. Almaas

DA Asia 2 is a new, ongoing in-person group beginning in 2027. The group will be taught in English and will meet in Chiang Mai, Thailand, at the beautiful Horizon Botanical Garden Resort.
The group is open to people from across Asia and beyond. We hope to bring together a diverse community of people from different countries and cultures who share an interest in inner exploration, spiritual development, and discover a deeper and more authentic way of being.
We will meet twice a year for an eight-day residential retreat. Between retreats, there will also be two online teachings each year, each offered either as a full-day session or as two half-day sessions.
The retreats will include teachings on the Diamond Approach, meditation and body-awareness practices, experiential exercises that bring the teachings into our own lives, opportunities to practice Diamond Inquiry, small-group work, and individual private sessions with a teacher.
The group is intended to provide an ongoing container for inner exploration and spiritual development, allowing the teaching and practice to deepen over time.

"The mystery of Being can never be exhausted. No matter how much it reveals, there is always a greater mystery and a deeper beauty waiting to disclose itself." — A. H. Almaas
