Ministers

In addition to HeatherAsh Amara and Raven Smith, the following beautiful people are trained ministers with the Toltec Center for Creative Intent. They are available for weddings, handfastings, blessingways, funerals, transition ceremonies, and more. Each TCCI minister goes through years of training so they can shine their light brightly and bring creative joy to all the ceremonies they facilitate. They are skilled at getting out of the way and letting Spirit flow through, and they are also a whole lot of fun!

All our Ministers are also Circle Guides

Diana Adkins

Diana has devoted her life to study/practice in the major spiritual and earth traditions, and she brings this to her years of Toltec teaching and coaching. Traveling this world has taught her to love the diversity of humankind and to find the magic held in all of our varying ways and beliefs. Diana has studied and works easily within many traditions, styles and formats: Toltec, Celtic, Christianity, Buddhism, Native American, Wiccan, Sufism and more. Draw on Diana's experience and compassionate support to open ever more deeply to the truth of who you really are, creating a life of joy and abundance rather than fear and disillusionment.

Before Teaching and Coaching, Diana worked as CEO/Accountant for non-profits in the U.S. and Indonesia and still serves on various boards. She is a Reiki Master, initiate in the Rays and Dervish Healing Order, a batik artist and creator of spiritual art and tools. Visit her website at www.makeitsacred.com.

Jai Cross

Our newest Minister! Congratulations, Jai.
