Coşkun Çelik
I was born in Turkey and moved with my family to Belgium at the age of four. Growing up between cultures and languages, I often felt that life was larger than the forms through which we ordinarily know ourselves. Early on, I found myself drawn to questions that seemed to have no final answer: What is existence? What are we, really? What is it that lives through us?
These questions led me to philosophy and to the study of Political Sciences and Linguistics — but even as I immersed myself in ideas, I sensed that what I was seeking could not be found in concepts alone. I was deeply nourished by Sufi teachings and by the work of J. Krishnamurti, whose invitation to meet experience freshly resonated deeply in me.
Then, unexpectedly, I came across a book on the Diamond Approach and felt an immediate recognition — a path that welcomed both the precision of understanding and the mystery of Being. Since then, it has become a living inquiry and a continual unfolding.
I do not see myself as someone who has answers for others, but as a companion in a shared exploration of what it means to be human. My intention as a teacher is to create a space of openness, presence, and curiosity where people can discover their own experience and inner truth — and to support students in bringing what they discover into the fabric of everyday life.

Meirav Schreiber
Meirav is a Dance Therapist (since 2001) and Family Constellation Facilitator and Teacher. She joined the Ridhwan Foundation’s Italy group and teacher training in 2006, and is a DA Ordained Teacher. She is married with a child, and lives in Israel.
I feel, from my own path with the Diamond Approach, the importance of living life fully rather than standing apart from it — going through the real difficulty of human issues and personal history, and coming to know ourselves in what lies beyond them. When spirit is grounded in our own soul, we can live from a deep sense of calm, truthfulness, and worth that does not depend on the outside.
What attracted me to this work is simple: I love living life, and I love being myself — and that is the gift this path has given me. After years of inquiry and retreats, I have come to know myself beyond my personality, and now live peacefully with it. I am no longer searching for problems; when they arise, I have the tool of inquiry to understand and meet them.
