Michael Torresan
Michael’s unique psycho-spiritual path includes several years with the Ridhwan School teaching the Diamond Approach, success in the international corporate arena, and a professional journey that spans Europe, Middle East, North Africa, and Central America.
From 1984 to 2003, Michael was an ordained minister/teacher of the Diamond Approach, leading private students and international groups through the psychological barriers to experiencing one’s true self. In 1987 he established the first Diamond Approach group in Vancouver, Canada, and in 1989 created the first group in Seattle, WA.
In 2003, he created the Authentic Living Institute (ALI) to continue helping people reconnect with their deeper, spiritual nature. The foundation of this work was awakening essential qualities which provide intelligence and capacity to free the individual from the limits and constraints of the egoic life.
From 2003 to 2010 Michael was a corporate consultant incorporating some of the psycho-spiritual understanding into self-awareness programs to enhance leadership, team effectiveness, productivity, and increase employee engagement. As a dedicated teacher of the Enneagram—a vital tool for self-discovery - he designed and delivered programs to Boeing, Microsoft, Intel, and a host of companies. As a certified Systems Thinking practitioner, he was able to add the self-awareness aspects of this discipline to his consultancy.
The wisdom and experience gained in decades of successfully guiding people, has been reformulated as Authentic Living Global to serve as a vehicle broadcasting the truth needed to support a global awakening.
“This work saved my life. Trying to create a meaningful life through the mechanical viewpoint of ego was only serving to destroy my career, undermine my health and wreak havoc in my relationships, leaving my deeply disillusioned and unhappy in the process. Through the work, I came to a deep reconnection with the core of my being and found the freedom to create my life in ways I had never dreamed possible.”
—Debra, student for 7 years
Alison Dawn Lee
Alison’s work as a master teacher draws from a range of teachings as well as her own journey of self-inquiry through enlightenment intensives, breath work, bodywork, transpersonal psychology and the Diamond Approach. Her multi-faith curiosities have led her from Buddhism to the Christian mystics, to a meditation cushion on the hilltops of the Himalayas. She is also trained in the Enneagram, Conscious Leadership, Transformational Speaking, adult education, and more.
As a sacred space-holder, she embodies essential qualities such as love, strength, power and compassion. She has a unique capacity to directly see into the centre of the moment and ask piercing questions which bring her clients to greater awareness. She is a lover of truth—fearlessly and joyfully exploring her own soul and embracing the journey. As a teacher, she has an intimate teaching style, sharing her own personal experiences generously and humbly.
Alison combines her psycho-spiritual coaching with an MBA with a specialization in leadership. Over 18 years, she has worked one-on-one with 350+ executives across industries and as an organizational learning and development consultant in large organizations.
Her role in ALG is to combine her psycho-spiritual knowledge and experience with Michael’s 40+ years of teaching. She’s committed to broadcasting the truth around the world so that more and more individuals have a direct experience of who they are and can integrate that into how they live their lives. She believes the health and healing of humanity and the planet are dependent on the development of our greater consciousness.
“When I am talking with Alison, I know I am talking to someone who is profoundly conscious. There’s almost an aura around Alison—who she is, the way she holds herself, the way she speaks—it’s all congruent with Alison. There’s a depth to her that’s quite rare.” — Brendan
“Consciousness is simply who Alison is and how she expresses herself. I know this is a huge part of the personal work that she is engaged in herself and it just shows up all the time. It’s very much how she does her work.” — Louise
