Diamond Approach: Embodying the Divine Animal

Whether we feel it directly or not, our bodies are being impacted by and responding to the chaos of the modern world. Information overload, ceaseless global conflict, living life at breakneck speed—every day our nervous systems and instincts are struggling to help us survive and thrive. It’s not surprising that our biologically wired animal instincts are often expressed in habitual, distorted ways. 

Given the stress we feel and attempt to manage through our bodies, we often lose touch with the fact that our bodies, the very location out of which we live our lives—walking, eating, relating, creating—is not only a location of stress. Our bodies can be a powerful resource of support and place of integration of our inner nature and our outer life. 

What does it mean for this life in a human body to be all that it can be—for the truth of our inner nature to come forward and be how we live?   

Many of us sense that to gain access to our full potential, all of us must be included—our animal instincts, our bodies, and our spiritual nature.  

To cultivate this capacity to live an undivided life, we must deal with the instincts that compel the animal nature of our body. Learning to directly sense and work with the way our instincts manifest in our bodies opens the door for our drives for connection, pleasure, and survival to support our realization. 

Join Diamond Approach teachers Linda Krier and Jessica Britt for the opportunity to explore how each of the primal instincts—social, sexual, and survival—live in your body now and can be portals to fulfilling your potential. Together, we will listen to the stories of our bodies, discover the true nature of our instincts, and learn to embody the rich inner resources that lie dormant within us so we can touch the world from the wisdom of our full-bodied, spiritual nature.
