Beyond The Ordinary

Through workshops, programs, and guided experiences, Diane creates a safe and supportive space for you to explore who you are, how you feel, and what may be holding you back.

If you feel disconnected, diminished, unsure, or quietly longing for more, it is not because there is anything wrong with you. It is because parts of you – and perhaps parts of your relationship — have been waiting to be met more gently, more truthfully, and more deeply than they have been before.

This work has 2 purposes.

1. is A Coming Home. Not to an idea of who you should be — but to who you have always been beneath the stories of not-enough, shame, guilt, forgetting, abandonment (by others and by self).

2. is a place to be nurtured, to breathe, to relax into the truth of who you really are and receive, because you deserve it.

There are three doorways to the Magic of Beyond The Ordinary.

IS FOR WOMEN ONLY – it is a return to the living intelligence of the body, the heart, the sensual and the sacred — a remembering of the miracle of being alive as you.

IS FOR COUPLES ONLY – it is a return to intimacy that is not about performance or obligation, but about presence — where desire, tenderness, trust and passion can breathe again.

IS FOR MEN ONLY – it is a return to who you are under the masks society/family have placed on you; a letting go of what the world thinks of as “masculine” and a recognition and honouring of you.

Diane has been walking with people through these returns for decades. She knows the territory – the fear, the resistance, the longing, the courage it takes to turn up, to feel your feelings, to let something real happen.

Here, there is no rush. No judgement. And nothing essential in you is seen as broken.

What has gone quiet can be rekindled.
What has been hidden can be met with kindness.
What feels lost can be remembered.
What has been buried with shame or guilt can be dissolved.

This is not about becoming someone else.

It is about coming home to yourself – and, if in a couple – when you are ready, to each other.

Testimonials

From the very moment I walked through the doors, it was like coming home… I listened with wonder to Diane McCann Mathews presenting her passionate life-work… much information to digest and consider… I discussed and found feedback on ideas and thoughts I had pondered alone for many years… I felt surrounded and supported by many strong and caring women… I experienced laughter and tears and release. Although I worked in a female oriented workplace, this was very different and very special. So nurturing.

Once the door that Tantra provides opens, it is impossible for it to ever truly close again – because having experienced the deep connection, closeness & heartfelt love with your partner – you know that for ever and a day you have experienced pure love. It can be challenging to incorporate & practice the learnings around a busy life, kids & everything else that places demands on us – but when we do practice we re-connect & remember each other, ourselves & what is really important in life. It was exceptional – truly one of the best experiences we have ever had together.

The Work Behind Diane

Diane McCann’s life has been devoted to awakening human potential. Trained extensively in the USA and England, she has walked the path of healing, personal growth, and conscious business for more than six decades – beginning with her very first workshop at just 13 years of age and finding her first spiritual teacher at the same time.

With qualifications in many alternative therapies, Diane supported individuals in private practice for over 50 years, offering deep insight, compassion, and transformation. From 1985 to 1992, she served as Co-Founder and South Australian Director of the Australian Institute of Rebirthing, helping to shape the foundation of conscious healing work in Australia.

In 1987, Diane birthed her signature women’s personal development journey, The Goddess Within – a program that has since been held internationally in 6 countries and 4 states of Australia. It continues to inspire women to reconnect with their inner wisdom, strength, and truth.

A few years later the women started asking why the information wasn’t available to their men so Diane and Robert created Man’s Inner Journey which ran for well over 28 years until Covid.

Together with her late husband, Robert Mathews, Diane shared and taught Tantra for more than 30 years, touching countless lives through their work until Robert’s sudden passing in May 2019. Today, Diane’s passion remains undiminished as she continues to witness profound transformations unfold through these teachings.

Diane loves people, is very funny, and she creates magic for those who have forgotten what is possible – gently reminding people of who they truly are and the extraordinary lives they are here to live.
