DIAMOND HEART PROGRAMS

Diamond Approach teachings presented by the DHAT Institute

DHAT Institute, under the direction of Hameed Ali, offers the public opportunities to study the Diamond Approach through various Diamond Heart programs, including ongoing Diamond Heart groups that meet in the Berkeley and Boulder areas.
