Ridhwan School

The Ridhwan School is a loosely-knit affiliation of ongoing spiritual groups founded in 1976 by Hameed Ali (pen name: A. H. Almaas). The school is dedicated to the teaching of the Diamond Approach. It is principally based in Berkeley, California and Boulder, Colorado with other groups throughout North America and in parts of Europe and Australia. Hameed Ali is the spiritual head of the school and individual groups are taught by qualified Ridhwan teachers. The name of the school derives from the Arabic word for "contentment":

"Ridhwan is a kind of contentment which arises when you're liberated. Your personality becomes contented when you're free. Your personality itself is free from its suffering and conflict."

The school rejects "quick fixes" and graduation, and the students are engaged in learning and therapy for an indefinite period.
