John V. Davis
John V. Davis’ primary interest is full human maturity and self-realization, with a special focus on the intersection of spirituality, psychology, and the natural world. He has been an ordained teacher of the Diamond Approach, a spiritual view and path, since 1983 (www.ridhwan.org). John’s book, The Diamond Approach: An Introduction to the Teachings of A. H.
