A deeper look into her journey
​
Diamaria grew up in Chicago Illinois and studied ballet, modern, jazz, contemporary, and flamenco dance for a total of 23 years. She began dancing at Columbia College for the Arts with aspirations of performing with a Chicago dance company. After several injuries that hindered her abilities to perform, she sadly needed to shift her passion. At the age of 26 she completed her BA in psychology and found a new intrigue for human behavior. She took an interest in Jungian Psychology while finding deep fascination in Self-Actualization (Enlightenment). She began to study human archetypes and shadow work in her mid-twenties. She figured if she couldn’t use her body to be a vessel for self-expression, she would explore her mind through both the conscious and subconscious.
Shortly after graduation, in June of 2006, she moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to be with a love she met while on vacation. There she began working as an elementary school teacher as it was a comfortable fit for her and her husband. After 4 years of marriage, at the age of 31, they divorced. This was the beginning of her spiritual journey. With great sadness and feelings of being lost in life, she began taking mediation classes to ease the pain and confusion. After experiencing her own results of peace, trust, and happiness, she decided to dedicate the rest of her life to helping others on their path of healing.
She became a frequent visitor in Sedona Arizona, where she felt most connected to her soul and planted seeds to live there someday.
In 2015 she felt called to deepen her practices of inner peace and stillness and enrolled at the McLean Meditation Institute in Sedona Arizona. Here she got to meet other women on the path of Soul-Alignment and begin learning how to “work” outside of a corporate job. (She was still working as an elementary school teacher in Las Vegas).
The Calling
Dia Facilitated her first Mother’s Day Cacao Ceremony in May of 2017. She cannot explain exactly how she was called to begin this path as a medicine woman and Ceremonialist. She felt the frequency within the medicine came into her field as an invitation to explore living with intention, love, playfulness, creativity, and connection.
In 2018 Dia facilitated her first 8 week group mentoring program, “Awaken Your Spirit”, sharing strategies and practices to support the Divine Feminine through their dark night of the soul. She knew her experiences and rebirth in 2016 was being called to share and support those in a similar place. Do you also feel that everything you've experienced during your awakening is a calling to now share?
Since 2018, she continued to renew her vows to be a conduit to the divine field of energy, creation, rebirth, devotion, and love. The past 6 years have blessed her with opportunities to elevate her consciousness through experiences while creating miraculous containers of beauty, awakening, transformation, and prosperity.
The Leap of Faith
In 2019, she invested in a Women’s Leadership Initiation led by Sofiah Thom, Co-Founder of Danyasa Eco Retreat Center, CEO of Temple Body Arts, and Co-Founder of Envision Festival in Costa Rica. And while she did not have the full investment of $6000 for 12 days, her entire being knew she needed to be there with a council of powerful women while being in Sofiah’s field of energy. Those 12 days lit a fire under her ass, opened her heart, and expanded her field of creation like no other experience she had had up until then.
Everyday was a deep journey into the soul and mysteries of the Divine Feminine. Dia never felt so alive in her life! She knew her purpose was to anchor in the potent teachings of serving as a Divine Feminine Priestess.
Once arriving back home, she hit the ground running in creating soul-awakening containers and never looked back.
(She quit her job teaching and became fully devoted to facilitating Ceremonies).
In March of 2020 her life had come to a short pause however. As the entire world felt as if it were crumbling, Dia’s life was in complete shambles. During a heart wrenching breakup and what felt like a complete death within, Spirit threw her out of the home in which she served in and shared with who she thought was her life partner. Her temple space and sanctuary felt as if it got ripped out from her heart and soul. The darkness of the world was being reflected onto and through the person in which she shared her life with. With $500 to her name, she felt as if she had hit rock bottom. And she did.
By the grace of God, Dia was given a beautiful room within a friend’s home to stay and heal.
With all non-essential businesses being closed, she had to find and call in a space to support her healing, the healing of others, and a way to bring in some sort of income. Dia was not called to be a voice online. She craved in person connection and didn’t care what people would have to say about being a pioneer during a pandemic.
The desert of Las Vegas Nevada found, called, and welcomed her in.
She created a “Ceremony Season Membership” This included New Moon and Full Moon Ceremonies along with a gathering every Thursday.
We met in the desert within the Red Rocks of Las Vegas Nevada.
She showed up raw and completely vulnerable in everything she was experiencing. As a council the women got to rise through the lies, manipulation, and fear that was the true pandemic. Dia created the most beautiful community of women to hold space for in their healing. She got to be held while healing her broken heart through Sacred Ceremony. Dia says, “she rose from the ashes of what felt like hell and began creating a life of truth through love.”
In addition to facilitating Ceremonies to support her own emotional and spiritual healing, She invested in supporting her physical body in a live online Yoga Teacher Training Program through Hibs Yoga in Henderson Las Vegas. And while she did not have the full-tuition upfront, she knew there was no better time to strengthen her core, create new habits of self-love, and prevent emotional trauma to get trapped in her tissues.
She says “healing is never linear, yet requires multiple mind, body, and spirit practices.”
Dia was able to pay off the training by July because she believed in herself, her healing, story, voice, and powerful work she was creating for her community in the desert during this time of the unknown.
Divine Alignment
2021 was a year of quantum growth for Diamaria! In January of 2021, she journeyed to Guatemala to connect with the medicine men and women where Cacao has been used for centuries in Ceremony for creating harmony within community and healing the heart. And in October, she was called to Egypt to receive an awakening to her true essence as a Divine Feminine Priestess. Each Pyramid, each Temple was like deja vu. She walked this path before. Dia began to remember who she came here to be and how she came to serve Divine Feminine Leaders during the Golden Age Awakening.
In April of 2021, Dia was called to shift her life into Sedona AZ where she transcended multiple timelines of limited beliefs by staying in devotion to the Rise of the Divine Feminine by creating Soul-Alignment Women’s Retreats.
Diamaria is the Creatrix of Awakened Ceremonial School , Soul-Alignment Retreats, Sacred Cacao Ceremonies, and private Retreat Awakenings. Dia continues to reside within the majestic land of Sedona AZ, where she continues to listen and embody the elemental wisdom which called her there.
Her journey has been one of radical personal self-development, deep paradigm transformation, supreme self-love, and quantum healing, while calling her truth & power back! If you’ve read this in its entirety and feel a deep resonance within every layer of your energy body, Diamaria is rooted in confidence that Awakened Ceremonial Yoga School is a soul match for you.

I am SO grateful I met Diamaria. Her Ceremonies have been such a beautiful and special time to connect with myself and other women, with the support of being vulnerable, loved, and emotionally heal. The support and energy cultivated during her Ceremonies is like nothing I’ve experienced. You come as you are and you will be accepted and loved as you are.
I love how Diamaria creates a container for the women to stay connected even when we are not in Ceremony. She continues to support and hold us accountable for the things we manifested during our sacred time together.
There’s nothing like spiritually connected feminine energy.
Being at Diamaria’s Venus Rising Retreat has helped me release many things that were no longer serving me in a healthy & supportive way. I’ve met many incredibly strong and beautiful women I have a forever connection with.
Venus Rising helped me find my power and my voice. I cannot say enough amazing things about this woman!! She is a powerful beautiful spirit, and I’m so beyond grateful that she’s in my life.
I HIGHLY recommend attending Diamaria’s Ceremonies and Retreats. You will be welcomed and surrounded by acceptance, love and support through your journey. AHO!

Diamaria’s energy radiates with acceptance and love. She is truly a gifted Ceremonialist with a talent for creating safe and beautiful spaces for connection. Her Cocoa offerings are a special and sacred experience.
After attending my first Ceremony with her, I knew I had found the safe sisterhood and connection I was long searching for. I immediately felt welcomed and supported. I arrived home feeling renewed with excitement and joy, and I couldn’t wait to attend her next Ceremony.
I was rather closed off and insecure prior to discovering Diamaria’s Ceremonial magic, which is powerful yet gentle. Her Ceremonies helped me open up, trust, recognize and connect to my own inner divine magic. Her presence inspires confidence, connection, support, encouragement, depth, growth, release and freedom to take place. I am so grateful to have found her along my path. She has become such a light in my life and facilitator of self empowerment.

My Intentions for Venus Rising:
~Say yes to all experiences and to be fully open
~Shed the black clothing I had worn for the last 40 years, from head to toe, every day, since I was 17
~Embrace wearing color and see what changes that may bring
~Deeply connect with the chakra stones I create for Ceremony
Every intention I set, was met. And, for the first time in my life, I felt my most authentic self. Free to be me in the company of spiritual women while engaging, connecting, and conversing deeply without judgment.
Living in Ceremony again and again and again was sacred, transformative, and healing. I got to experience the vortex magic, the energy of the Earth, while swimming in fresh-water creeks, hiking the round red rocks, and meditating under a canopy of ancient trees.
Expansive. Free. Natural.
Dia shaped this magnificent Summer Solstice to coincide with all the elements – earth, air, water, fire, wind, sun, & moon. She did so with warmth, professionalism, and great thought and organization.
I recommend being in Diamaria’s Ceremonial Retreat for any woman calling in that next layer to be revealed of creativity, empowerment, and self-love,
