Artist of the Spirit was created when Diana and HeatherAsh combined their many years of training, teaching and studies into a program that enables students to expand and support themselves while they learn ways to support and serve others. The focus is on heart, on intuition and tapping into the inner wisdom inside us all.

Artist of the Spirit is also grounded in Toltec Philosophy and psychology (as taught by don Miguel Ruiz), which has a unique and particular insight into the psychology of human dynamics. The Toltec practices you learn allow us to unweave lifelong fears and struggles - mentally, physically and energetically - for much deeper healing and transformation.
So, learning to be an Artist of the Spirit Life Coach goes beyond ‘a job’ or career - it impacts and transforms every aspect of your life - a model that grows as you grow, expanding as you expand!

How Our Program Works
What will you learn?
Everything you need! The tools, forms, templates, steps and strategies to be an outstanding coach, as well as the energetic and healing practices that make Artist of the Spirit (and you) unique!
Our spiritual focus is on you developing and enhancing your own personal relationship to spirit – however you define that. It is about tuning into your depths, your highest wisdom, intuition and inner guidance (along with the templates, processes, tools and steps we give you) so that you can then support others to connect more deeply with theirs. It's about a personal connection, rather than set ideologies, rules or prescriptions - because 'one size' doesn't fit all - or even most!
Our friend, Lee McCormick said it well: "Spirituality is not what you believe or know. Spirituality is the way you live life moment to moment , day to day. The way you do what you do and the energy, quality, sincerity, determination, attention, character you carry for living your life....The truth is in how you walk through each moment and the foot prints and energy you leave as you go."
We relate Body, Mind, Energy and Spirit to the Four Elements of Air, Fire, Water and Earth and use them as a model for our course layout:
