About the event
Zen, We-Space and Inquiry of the Diamond Approach
February 1–28, 2026 | Wild Ivy, Andalucía, Spain
We’re pleased to announce a 1-month immersive training at Wild Ivy Integral Practice House in the beautiful mountain village of Vélez-Blanco, Spain. Participants may join for 2, 3, or 4 weeks, or extend into a 2-month residency.
Rooted in our Zen Buddhist lineage, this training also introduces key teachings and practices from the Diamond Approach (A.H. Almaas), a contemporary spiritual school integrating psychological insight with essential realization. The synergy of Zen and the Diamond Approach supports a profound meeting of immediate presence and gradual unfolding—grounding awakening in the totality of one’s lived experience.
