Garden of Grace with Diamond Burnett

“Bet on yourself.”
All else could fall away and I would be okay with who I am. I’m excited to be a master of my life, to teach one day, and to walk hand-in-hand with the land and with nature.
This is a mystery school I would recommend to anybody, because it brings so much joy into my life. It brings so much joy into my being, and we need people in our lives that don’t allow us to hide from ourselves.
Before mentorship, I was really uncertain.
I didn't feel very close to my Soul, like me. I had courage in myself, but that inner self esteem...it was there, but I was playing small and I was trying to figure myself out.
I just wanted to be closer to my Soul, and I also wanted community. Our first meeting, I felt safe and I felt this was a space that I would be understood. Whereas I looked out into the world and the things that I was interested in or curious about, people consider really ‘woowoo’ like even the idea of channeling. So I wanted to be [and] to feel like this🤞🏾. I wanted to be [and] to feel that with myself.
Of course, all the florals [on] Diamond [Greer Jones]’s website was a big thing as well. I really felt called in through that. It just was so beautiful. It is so beautiful in all the ways that she has designed it, and the way that it has moved and shaped throughout the year.
So, I just wanted to be a part of something where I felt safe, and I've always felt safe in this container and our mentorship. A part of me always wanted to be a part of a mystery school, so that's also something that was always, for as long as I can remember, that I wanted to be a part of.
I’m just…I feel joy right now.
This part always makes me feel so happy—our monthly sessions sharing space, and then also the workshops. I love seeing everyone's faces and how everything always feels like it's on time. And the morning notes, just everything. I've really enjoyed everything, and if anything, I've just wanted more togetherness.
Then also the floral activation and ceremony at the beginning, that's really powerful. The sacred triad that always shows up at the beginning and throughout the mentorship. And the homework helps me stay accountable...even sometimes, in my mind, I'm like, Am I doing the homework?
Also I was a writer, but this mentorship has brought out more of my inner writer, and I love journaling even more. I have my journal here that I use. It has flowers and it says “With God, all things are possible,” and then I have other journals that I have written in throughout my mentorship.
I love how clear Diamond [Greer Jones] is as a channel.
I feel like everything that comes through, even sometimes when it's just like, Oh, wow. My guides are really dragging me, still feels so relevant and it's so clear. It slices through like a sword.
How fun. It's just a really fun environment. It's true, you really can show up to this space and be authentic. And then, there's been times where I feel like I have to show up a certain way and it's just like, No. During the session, everything gets cut through.
It’s raw and it’s authentic.
I think that's where transformation really seeps in and healing seeps in.
When we're willing to be authentic and when we're willing to really show up for the work and for also the play. You know, it's not “work,” but just to be able to play in our lives and to create the lives we want.
That’s also something that I’ve visibly noticed: my life has changed.
It's just so beautiful. The guidance and me following the guidance. Me now being at a point where I'm designing my own website, and now I'm actually really interested in starting the gardening consultation.
There's guidance that comes through (and has come through) that I've noticed, too, with the mentorship—that I've heard months, months, months, months prior and it kind of foreshadows, in a way, what's to come. If that makes sense. It's like I often feel like I'm catching up to my Soul, even though we're like this 🤞🏾 and we're together, we’re not separate.
But yeah, sometimes it takes me a little bit of time to accept, Okay, this has always been my path. This is where we're going. When I think about it, the time has flown by. It's really flown by.
I’m grateful.
This is a mystery school.
That's how I feel. I would recommend it to anybody, because it just brings so much joy into my life. It brings so much joy into my being, and we need people in our lives that don't allow us to hide from ourselves.
I feel me showing up for myself in this sacred way, doesn't allow for me to hide from myself or hide from the things that I find that people maybe would judge. You know? Because when I look at me now, I love all of me—All aspects of myself—and I feel more comfortable in my skin. I feel more comfortable in who I am. I’m more comfortable in who I am.
I feel like I walk through the world more easeful, and that I know my purpose. I don't feel that I need to show up in certain spaces, in certain ways. That I could just share my heart and be who I am. And there's beauty in that.
And it goes back to again, that authenticity.
The biggest change since I began…
Noticing that I can laugh at myself more.
Before my mentorship, I feel I was very hard on myself and like I needed to be at a certain place in my life. I kept factoring in my age in regards to where I thought that I needed to be.
But again, [now] I just feel more comfortable in who I am and who I Be. Also [noticing] the moments of where Soul jokes around with me throughout the day. Or I'll be thinking about something and then it or the person just immediately shows up.
I’ve allowed more magic into my life.
Allowed just more magic, and allowed myself to be more goofy. Allowed myself to be more of who I am, like the natural Essence of me.
You know, too, what changed is that (more times than not), I don't feel that I really care that much how people see me. That's something. Because working with my inner perfectionist and wanting things to be this way and it's not, that's based on how others see me or my Path or the things that I'm here to bring forth.
I care more about being in tune with myself than how other people may perceive me. Even staying in things, places, situations or with people, I used to feel like I had to. Now it's just like, No. It's me and myself.
I'd rather be so true to where I'm going and my Path, that...yes, what I'm hearing is like, “All else could fall, everything else could fall away, and I would be okay with who I am.” That's a big statement for me, but it's true.
Now, I’m free.
I feel free.
I don't feel constricted to just one place anymore, like staying at one job. It just feels like I've opened. I bloomed. Like, “what's coming?” I've bloomed, and that reminds me of my Soul Symbol at the very beginning [of mentorship].
I'm most excited to live. To fully live and to not live for another, or feel responsible for another, responsible for a group of people, but to truly just live my life out loud and fully. I keep looking up, because there's so much greenery here. Just immersed in my Nature and who I am.
I'm excited to learn even more about myself. You know? In the ways that I will grow even more, the ways that I will change. In certain aspects of my life, I'll say that I'm not so like this (clenches body) to change. I'm noticing that I'm growing with that too. There are certain things that’s like, Oh, this is changing. Okay, all right. Well, that's that. I’m excited to flow with my life.
I’m excited to be a master of my life.
I'm excited to find all the ways of getting out of my comfort zone. That's also something that's been coming up too, of being in that ‘Both And’ of: Yes, it could be scary to go outside of what I'm comfortable with, [and] at the same time, that is where change happens and a lot of growth and a lot of inner faith and a lot of inner trust happens.
The phrase that's been coming up is: Betting on myself. I'm excited. I'm excited to invest in myself more, and to invest in the things that I'm curious about and that I wonder about. Allowing life to just unfold, and to see the magic in everything even more. Because I feel like I've been doing that, but even more.
I'm also excited to teach one day. That's also something that I feel it's going to happen—me teaching one day. I'm excited to have my own students. Just excited for all of my dreams to come true, like all the things that, again, I'm curious about and I know it's going to happen, and even the things that I don't even know yet.
I'm excited to walk hand-in-hand with the land and with nature. Because to me, nature is my heart, and the many ways that will show up. Because I may think now that it'll be a certain way, but I don't know. I'm okay right now with not knowing, because I know that one day I will know.
So yeah, I want to keep growing. I want to keep playing.
I’m in bloom, and I’ve arrived.
I know who I am.
I feel like I used to be afraid to say being a channel or being a heart activator. You know? And I'm at a point where I can embrace that—where I have embraced that—because I've seen it. I've seen the Truth.
You should do it. Bet on yourself.
It's worth it. It's so beautiful. It's a beautiful container. And Diamond is an amazing teacher. You'll feel held. It feels warm and held. There's so much beauty and ease and Truth, and there's so much compassion. Even when I send Diamond emails, like the email support, there's so much kindness and compassion that I feel in the emails, the energy.
Yeah, it's amazing. It's amazing, and it feels like a big hug. You'll grow if you're really devoted and committed to where you're going and to seeing your life change.
This is the place to be, in the Garden of Grace.
There's just so much beauty. And if you want to feel even more connected to who you are—because again, we're not separate. It's not that Soul is separate from who we are, but it's like there's an attunement I feel that happens in the Garden of Grace, an attunement to our Essence, attunement to the Truth of who we are—this is the place.
And like I said, I would recommend anyone.
