Rumi & Hafiz: Mystic Poetry & the Diamond Approach

The poems of Rumi and Hafiz arose out of a rich spiritual and cultural tradition where seekers studied with teachers in intimate group settings and their spiritual unfolding was supported by teachings, practices, and ongoing relationships in community. How can we modern seekers share in the realizations expressed in this beautiful mystic poetry? Is it possible now to find a genuine spiritual path that supports our unfolding in ways that meet us where we are, and support our realization in
our current modern lives?

Join Diamond Approach teacher Julia Dengel for this FREE experiential webinar as we explore the deep and personal realizations expressed in mystic poetry, and how we might find support for our own deep realization. The Diamond Approach is a modern spiritual path, and this webinar will introduce seekers to some of the guiding principles of the path as well as to the practice of open-ended inquiry which supports our presence and unfolding. You too can experience and know the depth and expanse of your being as expressed by Rumi and Hafiz.

Come, Come, Whoever You Are
Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times.
Rumi

What Is Presence—and Why Does It Matter?

January 10–11, 2026
The Boulder Ridhwan Center, 6783 Baseline Rd., Boulder, CO
In person and on zoom. $200 for two days.
10am to 1pm and then 2:30pm to 5:30pm

Presence is our spiritual freedom liquefied, condensed. Presence is an actual sense of hereness—beyond our emotions, beyond the mind, beyond our ideas. Eventually, we recognize that immediacy really means presence.
We know Presence by being it. But how do we come to know it, embody it?
Through the wisdom of our belly, heart, and mind.
Each of these centers can either open us to Presence—or block it.
Head center: caught in identification
Heart center: trapped in reactivity
Belly center: held by rigidity or armoring

Join Diamond Approach teachers Beverly Alexander and Julie Endress for a two-day exploration of how we can recognize, open to, and embody our own living Presence.
Together, we’ll uncover the subtle ways we turn away from ourselves—and the freedom that comes when we turn back.
