<p><span class="bodytext">In addition to working professionally for many years as an organizational consultant, Diane is a minister in the Eternal Life Church, a non-traditional church founded in New Mexico. This is a church without walls, without doctrine and dogma. The purpose of this ministry is to raise spiritual consciousness and understanding in the world, toward healing of the human body, mind and spirit. This ministry supports freedom of choice and personal responsibility in all matters, including one's own spirituality and healing methods.<br>
</span><span class="bodytext"><br>
Because of her extended experience as a teacher on sacred ground and her journeys of learning through native, shamanic traditions and A Course in Miracles, Diane is able to meld a background in psychology and communications with the spiritual to assist in healing work in a variety of ways. Early personal experience is recorded in her first book, Blindwalk to Potter's Farm, An Odyssey of Spirit.<br>
