Diamond Cutter Seminars in Israel110 people filled the Ramat Gan “Emotion Studio” near Tel Aviv for three days in January to take part in the first-ever Diamond Cutter business seminar titled “The Wisdom of Diamond Cutter-Part 1 ”.  

Dr. Dvora Tzvieli, formerly of Bell Laboratories, and accomplished computer scientist Dr. Arie Tzvieli, created the three-day experiential workshop by first developing a new, groundbreaking curriculum, all based in the teachings of Geshe Michael Roach - the author of The Diamond Cutter.   Through lecture sessions, large and small group discussions and even meditation and yoga classes geared for business people, participants explored the apparent causes of their successes and failures…and then went on to identify and work with the true causes.      

Professional businessmen and businesswomen, teachers and homemakers alike were led through the intensive program to learn the true causes of Making Money, Enjoying the Money and the Path, and Making Our Life Meaningful.    Topics included “Hidden Potential”, “Deep Reasons for Success”, “Problems and Solutions in Business” and “Ultimate Managing Tool.”  

The understanding gained from this workshop is applicable in all areas of life - it is not just for the business community.

Drs. Dvora and Arie are reporting some dramatic results from attendees, including more than one paradigm shift….as early as the last day of the seminar, some participants were reporting instant results from application of what they learned.  "The workshop delivers absolutely amazing wisdom and presentation...and can change your life immediately" said Dr. Arie.

Planning for future workshops is in progress….another Part 1 in April, and the first presentation of Part 2 in July 2009!
