Diana Grace is a Meditation Teacher, Stress Management Consultant and Trainer, and an experienced facilitator and public speaker, specialising in delivering Personal Development Programmes. She has addressed conferences
and presented workshops in Europe, Canada, USA, Zimbabwe, and throughout the U.K, and has been a regular presenter at the Holistic Learning: Breaking New Ground: International Conference, Toronto University, where herpresentations have included Nourishing the Soul in Education and Values and Visions.

She began her personal path in meditation as a young teenager, whilst also becoming a student of Theosophy, the Vedanta, Feng Shui and the healing arts. By the time she was eighteen she was giving public talks on spirituality and meditation. Although she does not adhere to a particular faith belief or meditation teaching, she is guided by her connection to her own spiritual life and communicates in the simple language of the heart. Her courses for adults in the arena of metaphysics show the very practical
application of nurturing the inner life for self-healing, balance and empowerment.

Diana has made a valuable contribution to our growing awareness of the importance of meditation and nurturing the soul in education. She has been pioneering and facilitating meditative practice for children and educators since 1978, both in mainstream schools in the U.K. and as far afield as rural Zimbabwe. Her school programmes Times for Reflection support learning and behaviour through nurturing emotional and spiritual literacy and human values, resulting in calmer classrooms and enhanced creativity, as David Powell, former Advisory Head Teacher in Wiltshire, noted: I have witnessed Times for Reflection workshops first hand. The effects on children are calming, focussing and result in improved behaviour and creative work.

The Times for Reflection programmes include Stress Management for teachers, pupils, parents and college students and have been well received, helping to contribute to a whole school ethos and the well-being of individuals and school communities.

Healthy living requires attention to the inner health of ourselves, our children and our colleagues. The programme which is run by Diana shows us the significance of this and touches the deepest parts of our lives, helping us to grow in ourselves and in our relationships. Bart McGettrick,

Dianas experience also includes designing and facilitating the Nourishing the Soul teachers retreats, in the U.K. She is contributor to the book Meditation in Schools published by Continuum, and was co-focaliser for the International Conference Soul in Education 2000, Findhorn, Scotland.
