💛🕯️💗🎶🌿

I am so excited! Can’t wait to dive in!

Feeling the feels that I won’t be supporting the California Moondance this year 🌺🕯️💗 and won’t be witnessing so many receive their names and pipes, or pour you tea late into the wee hours of morning under the full moon light, singing with you with all my heart in sacred presence and prayers for the healing of all women and our lineages, for your hearts… for my heart.. and the hearts of all our relations… for Pachamama and our sacred work on the planet…

Will be missing the crew of águilas del fuego and loves who have supported alongside me. And getting to pray in temescal with you.

Sending love and prayers up for an absolutely potent and nourishing, meaningful, transformative, healing week of ceremony 🪶💛🦋✨🌕

Ometeotl 🙏🏼🙌🏽

A favorite creative practice…

Often I like to scribe at full or new moons, or during a microdose journey, or after deeper ceremonial journeys. ✨

I have markers and colored pencils that I like to use to scribe my prayers and invocations, to help me integrate my experiences and ground my prayers and vows. (And sometimes just to put something on the page like a free exploration of my psyche.)

I keep them by my altar and from time to time flip back to look at past expressions. Sometimes they are relevant for my present moment, and I spend time with them for awhile.

When I work with voice clients I love to encourage creative expression and time at their altars to support their embodiment and empowerment journey.

Channeling a visual prayer for your voice is simple yet can be SO powerful. I tend to use words to speak aloud, though sometimes I use more images than words.

It’s really about how you will best receive your own medicine later on through this form, like a little tangible reminder 🕯️

I know many folks out there have similar practices…

If you don’t already, and it feels potentially nourishing, I highly recommend creating a visual, artful prayer for your voice that can accompany you in your path of vocal empowerment and healing 💜

As you can tell from my creation, you don’t have to be “good” at drawing or even writing. It isn’t about how it looks to anyone else. It’s about something very personal and meaningful to YOU.

I would love to see your own creations of “a prayer for my voice” 🌟 if you ever feel to share!

If you’re curious about working 1:1 with me, I have some openings for clients this summer!

And I’m offering special rates for summer… see 🔗 in the b!o

Would love to share this very special journey with you!

So grateful for my mother and all the love and support she has offered me all these years. Words cannot describe how blessed I feel and how deeply grateful I am. I would not be here or sharing any of the beautiful offerings I have given over the years if it weren’t for her. 💖🎶🌺🙏🏼

📷 2 & 3 - My mom visited me early this month from the east coast! She even got to come enjoy Beltane festivities this year… It really was so meaningful to introduce her to many folks in my community and share part of my life here with her.

Prayers for all mothers to feel loved, for healing between mothers and children where healing is calling, for all mother figures and women mentors and to be appreciated and feel loved as well.

For me, I am mothering myself, my songs, and a few plant allies, and continuing to learn what it means to embody Mother in my life.

I know for many this “holiday” is a painful time because of various reasons. Sending love to those who resonate with that. ❤️

I thought I was “rising up” …
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And what I found was the truth of my fragile roots
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I thought I was becoming some sort of avatar of my empowered self…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it healed me in ways until it didn’t.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And so the dying and clarifying process, part of the lifelong alchemy of a human ego, has been churning me and inviting me home for some time now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My soul longed for more depth, hungry and burning with discontent, without understanding why, except for some certain moments of clarity…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Heartbreak has challenged me to face myself squarely with unwavering honesty, to go deeper than ever before, to the very center of my life’s prayers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Descending into darkness, I have spun about in storms and waves, facing Fear and reckoning with attachments, as I prayed for and practiced ways to attune to the center and access my Witness self, my Wisdom self.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In those moments of unraveling and communion, I continued to experience my own somatic being re-membering me to the sensations of what my soul already knows, the deep and ancient memory of my “instructions”, the perfection of the Is-ness, the beauty of the mess, the stellar joy available through the acceptance and embrace of incompletion and imperfection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I welcome the ecstatic freedom of letting go, each unnecessary root and piece of an entangled thought system pulled up at just the right moment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Again and again, tending the garden.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May I continue to rise rooted so I can more fully, authentically serve…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And so may we all 💜

Between worlds, between identities, between structures and definitions, I float and dance and surrender within the liminality of this passage.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What will remain? Who will remain?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How to stand up and show up to my life as I feel the vastness of Change…?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The beckoning of this Dying of self has been calling for so long, and I have been doing my best to answer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Seemingly sudden and yet, in some way, it has been happening since long before I could understand.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Precious, the moments of dissolution. Butterfly awaits, perhaps, but how am I to know?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does the caterpillar worry about its fate?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Look to the changing winds
Listen to the hum of the earth
Ask the flowing waters
Gaze into the flickering fire
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is still and true?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where does Attachment grip itself within your being?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lay it all at the Altar.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Face directly into the heart of your fear
and there you will find
the doorway to Liberation.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Feel the pulsing invitation to Truth…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The promise of destiny is somewhere
seeded in the song of your soul.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What needs to happen so you can hear it? So you can remember its sweet melody from deep in your marrow?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How will you make space to listen?

💗

Oh heart, precious jewel. Breaking open, I become more the gift that I already am.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Having begun a new cycle around the sun on Wednesday, I continue to feel my way through a tender passage. The flowers are certainly blooming, though, from the compost 🌷🙏🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been feeling so much resentment and anger for the way I’ve been treated by someone. Then, yesterday, I remembered that actually, at the core... it was I who abandoned myself. Much of that anger and resentment is towards a part of myself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And so I remember and reaffirm that the price of self-abandonment in relationships is no longer worth it for the surface-level or addictive pay-offs. This is one of those lessons that has come again and again.

As I begin this new solar year, my vow to myself is to continue to mend trust within my own being. To recognize when my sense of okay-ness, beauty, value and power is being sourced externally and to re-center myself within and stay close to Spirit and to my prayers for my path.

Nothing totally new, yet another profound layer…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I deserve relationships and collaborations that truly value me and what I bring. I feel more clear than ever that to share my voice, my body and my heart is a powerful choice and should be received with honor.

I renounce allegiance to the stories and beliefs of “not enough” that have driven me to settle for secret breadcrumbs of affection, unsafe intimate connections, and codependent attachments.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If it feels supportive for any of you to repeat the following, I invite you to join me in this prayer-invocation:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“From root to crown, crown to root... Within, without and anchored in all directions, timelines and dimensions, I affirm and welcome the loving presence, guiding wisdom and somatic imprinting of my sovereign, luminous soul signature.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Majestic Grace, I Am.
Awe-some Beauty, I Am.
Crystalline Truth, I Am.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My voice and my presence are GIFTS worthy of being deeply cherished and honored.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
May each of our hearts and souls be nourished in this spring rebirth. Many lotuses rising to the sun for the benefit of all beings. 🪷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With love,
Diana 💖

I want to CELEBRATE my most recent Soul Voice Alchemy mentorship client Audrey 💫🙌🏽💗 for the beautiful devotional work and care she brought to the last three months of our container, and also celebrate and honor her deeply instinctual, authentic and embodied vocal channel that consistently inspired me every session!

Thank you, Audrey, for trusting me, for bringing your prayers and co-creating sacred space for your expression and healing path. Thank you for your enthusiasm and special frequencies of magic ✨

I love love love mentorship journeys and client sessions where we get to go deep and be in the shamanic healing realms of voice and embodiment together. Authentically showing up and being with all that is, together.

At the close of our final session we gave offerings to the creek on the land where she lives and sang together. So grateful 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Beloveds, Audrey is local to Sebastopol (and still somewhat new to the area) and is currently offering birth work services through — she is an amazing human and I hope you all get to meet her!! 🌷
If any women out there are looking for ceremonially-held vocal activation and empowerment support, I’m open for both mentorship clients and regular sessions.

Spring is a great time to say yes to this potent work… 🙏🏼 links in c0mments to explore!

I met for the first time in 2021 at Gfest in Mount Shasta. I had heard of her before but truly didn’t know what to expect.

As soon as she began her solo set, I was instantly transported into a ceremonial prayer space that touched my soul and my heart in such deeply profound ways I was crying healing tears the entire time.

I felt such a kinship with her way of being, her songs, her voice and her essence that something broke open inside me. Not only was her music the medicine I needed, but experiencing her offering reflected to me parts of myself that resonated to the essential parts of my relationship to my own channel and path.

I bought a CD and for the next several months straight, as I navigated COVID — and some excruciatingly challenging relationship and core wound pain — her music and her voice were there for me, calling me back to love, to truth and to liberation. Every day, her music reminded and re-membered me to myself and my path.

In 2022, I reached out to her for the livestream series I do with Maggie through .heart.music and we had a beautiful session in September that year.

Since then we have been growing a beautiful sister friendship that continues to amaze me and shower me with blessings. So unexpected and such a gift 💖

Singing with her is truly an honor and a joy. Together we are co-creating a beautiful night of music in Sebastopol on April 6th that will be so special and powerful.

Join us at for a ceremonial evening of transformational world soul folk as we dance on the currents of sound and song, co-creating a potent field of love, belonging and liberation.

Info thru link in my bio 💓

Much love, family. If you can’t make it I hope we will get to share these gifts with you soon!

Beautiful day on beautiful land yesterday ✨🌷 feeling the springtime healing of the sunshine on my skin and courage to answer the call to the adventure of my life. I feel like I am thawing out… anyone else?

This past year has been deeply humbling. Dying to so much of myself and what I thought my life was all about… Who am I?

SOUL SERUM: A Ceremonial Evening of Transformational World Soul Folk

Doors 6:30pm
Music 7pm

We are crafting a beautiful container of musical prayer to deeply nourish the heart and soul. It will be fresh as spring blossoms and the rivers rushing with life-giving waters.

Tix are live now (see 🔗 in bio)

See you there! ✨

It’s storming outside and it’s February and it’s been 11 years since I turned my life and will over to a Higher Power and we’re not in Kansas anymore and the legacy of the Nakba is ringing in my ears.

And things feel new and exciting and terrifying and heartbreaking and messy and curious and wonderful and painful and perfectly ridiculous and devastating and magical and lonely and overflowing with love.

Practicing surrender, welcoming grief, inviting myself into the arena of reckoning and recalibration.

It is brave to be alive at this time with eyes open, heart available to meet the suffering of the world and the awesome beauty of it all, woven together in a glorious, terrible tapestry. To be courageous and humble enough to contribute our unique notes in the symphony, anchored in truth, listening for the organism of our co-creation to reveal its wonder and song… knowing we will likely not know how it ends, nor how it all began…or how we all got here singing in the first place…

(They say healthy relationships leave room for mystery…)

Courageous and simple, too, to rest at center, to reach out to hold warm hands and beating hearts of our beloveds and bow together at the altar of impermanence, to tend the fires of transformation, to walk with praise on our lips as the ground shifts below in its age-old story that our ancestors knew well.

How do we tend remembrance of the cycles of death and renewal when we forget the bigger story? When we forget we are dancing a dance of Creation?

It seems one way is to remember to sing the old songs, and the new songs, and whatever songs help us find the thread of medicine we need in any given moment.

Keep singing, loves. And if you don’t know what to sing, ask the birds. And if they don’t answer, remember that you are a bird.

Blessings to your hearts. 💗

Prayers up 🕊️ we will not forget 🕯️ the children and all the beautiful people of G-za ~ thank you to those who prayed with us yesterday as part of our solidarity with the mirror altar global prayer con gracias por iniciar esta oración 🙏🏼

Last night a beautiful group came together to pray with Grandfather Fire and co-create this water altar. Thank you for offering the space to make this happen ❤️

Our co-creation was a strong reminder that we all know how to do this and we all need to do this.

Bearing witness
Allowing the heart to break
To open wider
To embrace all beings
To ask and listen for what is ours to do
And sourcing courage
To act
And to acknowledge
When many would rather turn away
All of us here
Tending what corner of the world is for us to tend
The threads that are for us to weave
The songs that are for us to sing
The names that are for us to remember
The stories that are for us to tell
Each one of us completes the circle, a jewel in Indra’s net.

We do not need to know the answer to pray. We cannot presume we know the whole story. But we can still show up. We can keep our eyes open and gather resources to offer where they are needed. We can keep coming together in these ways.

💜

Tomorrow 2/10 in Fairfax I am co-hosting a sacred fire circle with in support of this prayer for the children of Gza. This call for prayer originates from 🙏🏼

We will gather 6:30-8:30pm. If you feel called to join, DM me or Romeo for the address + parking info. (I may not have service at an event midday so if I don’t answer right away try him.)

Bring prayers, firewood & other offerings for the fire as you desire 💜 and a song for peace if you wish.

I want to note that release of all hostages is also part of the prayer and is not forgotten even as we focus our energy on something specific.

If you are unable to join us please consider creating a mirror altar in solidarity with this global prayer. This may be as simple as lighting a candle, dancing, sharing prayer through art, etc.

💖

The light finds a way through. The light is always shining, sometimes we just need the right angle to make something beautiful … ☀️ Winter musings below…

Yesterday I had the privilege to spend a little time with an elder who reminded me how prayer is fundamental to being human…

In this winter time I remember also that the power of prayer is not only about affecting some external shift or about receiving something for which we ask.

Prayer changes us just by the very act of doing so. Just by coming to the altar, just by looking up to the sky and connecting with that which is beyond us. By sitting with the sacred fire or the candle flame, we are showing up to Spirit, to ourselves, to tapping into/calling in/reaching for what is most true and loving and wise within us and this world.

In the 12 steps, step 10 says “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with a Power greater than ourselves, praying only for knowledge of God’s will for us and the power to carry that out.” (You can change the words for God however you like)

“Conscious contact”— which you can also wordsmith to suit your unique sensibilities—is vital to our souls. This is vital for everyone.

In times when we feel most lost, if we can still pray, we are not lost at all. Prayer can tether us back to the light and truth of our soul and our belonging to Creation simply through the surrender to asking for help, the humility of not-knowing, the remembrance of being in relationship and belonging to this Earth and to something powerful that is loving, mysterious, wise.

And even when we touch despair, perhaps questioning all this spiritual stuff; even when, in anger or pain, we feel we have lost faith, our sense of trust with the Divine feels broken somehow…

I think there is always a prayer to/for something that dwells in our hearts, ready to leap onto our lips and through our song, if we allow ourselves to listen.

In a way, perhaps, this is built into our beings as an innate soul resource. Perhaps we were created in such a way that, in the dark and troubled times, the medicine in our blood and bones guides us to pray ourselves home.

Beloved women — Ready to step into a new dimension of your voice in 2024? ✨

12-Week Soul Voice Alchemy mentorships are an opportunity to dive into the power of your voice-as-medicine— for yourself and others—in a sacred, personalized container.

For me, this work is way more of a spiritual journey than simply “vocal coaching”. Soul Voice Alchemy is vocal embodiment and empowerment as a transformative, holistic healing path.

We do not solely focus on dry technique or about singing “better” but rather on cultivating yourself as a sacred vessel and tapping into how to sing “truer”.

Authentic. Intuitive. Embodied.

In the slides above I’m sharing some recent feedback from .elliot ~ we had the most beautiful journey together this past autumn, and I am truly still overflowing with gratitude! Sister you are such a 🌟 and I am so excited for your path!

And btw - no “singing” experience is necessary!

💫🙏🏼💫

Blessings for this Winter Solstice ✨

I find myself still navigating a long moment of immense inner shifts. The waters are deep, and I bow at the feet of the dance between dark night and holy light as I prepare to tune in and go offline for a few days in prayer and soul-full listening. 🕯️

As this time of year invites us into stillness and sacred pause, we are given a chance to move through a ritual of renewal as we descend to meet the longest night and emerge into a cycle of growing sunlight once more.

Ancient myths remind us that we find the light in the darkest dark, and that darkness has much to teach us. We must each face into the dark to discover wisdom and truth.

But before I take my leave, I wanted to share...

I’m honored to be offering a Cacao Ritual + Embodiment Journey as part of the New Year’s Eve happening at on 12/31 💫 I’ll be part of opening the night so you can come a bit early and get your activation and intention-setting in!

Check the link in bi0 for the event details. Excited to serve up some smooth and delicious ceremonial cacao 😍 via

Hope to see you there!

Excited to be offering a beautiful night of music with this Friday 11/17 at in Sebastopol 💗

In a time when there is so much suffering in the world, so much intensity rolling through the collective… it is an honor and feels like a necessity to bring offerings of beauty and love, to make space for moments of togetherness, to create sanctuary… and to choose to BECOME sanctuary.

In these last couple years, Aea’s music has been just that — a sanctuary for my heart and soul to bare itself and allow the fullness of life to move through me. In the midst of some of the most painful moments, her music helped me find my voice and anchor my prayers.

So it is such a great honor to put this event together, and I deeply hope you will be able to join us!! 💖

Aea will be accompanied by whose guitar brings this music into a transcendent landscape.

I will be opening starting at 7pm ~ doors at 6:30 ✨

Ticket link in my bio!

P.S. bring cash for Aea’s absolutely divine homemade chocolates, you will bliss out with how amazing they are!!

I will meet you here… {a poem, a call, a reach for something}

I turn to The Bhagavad Gita
in search of solace for my aching heart
to ask what is mine to do
as I have been asking all this time.

Each of us must turn within to ask
that age-old question
and listen
for an answer that has been longing for us.

I turn to the sun shining through clear skies
while somewhere far away the skies are black with smoke,
and I hold dimensions of truth in my hands
on the groundless ground,
sand escaping through fingers,
or so it seems.

I turn to my guitar, to my drum,
And as I steady my breath
Through ancestral cries,
A wail arises as if from the very core of the earth herself,
Joining in with voices around the world
And the voices that can no longer cry out
And the voices that never could.
We sing
Up through the roots,
The roots that connect us all
To the very first broken heart.

I will meet you here,
in this timeless well of grief,
to lay our heads upon the shoulders of ancients
and become beacons of love
for all eternity.

I will meet you here,
here where there are no sides to choose,
only the burning fire of love and compassion
for the suffering of humanity.

I will meet you here,
in the paradox, the spectrum of nuance,
in the urgency of freedom,
in the not-knowing,
in the unbearable compassion,
in the quest to know right action.

The sages have prepared us for these times,
or so I think.
I do my best to drink from their cups,
abundant in wisdom and love,
and pray that my body remembers this sacred water
so I can offer it to another just like me.

Drink of this water with me, beloved,
though my hands be a meager cup,
the water is cool and cleansing.
It comes from the tears of our grandmothers
and the songs of freedom.
It has never been lost,
it just needed
to rain once more.

Will you sing the rain with me?

Amidst the fires of hatred,
the traumatized reactivity…

Do we dare to sing the rain?

Do we dare not to…?
