About Diyanat Ali
I am Diyanat Ali—a guide and a facilitator of transformation. My journey is one of deep self-discovery, where I continuously explore what it means to be fully human, connected to our shared earth, and in alignment with a purpose that transcends the mundane.
I specialize in supporting individuals, leaders, and teams to reconnect with their true nature through experiential learning, somatic embodiment, and presence-based coaching. My work integrates timeless wisdom and modern methodologies, creating spaces for profound personal and collective growth.
🌿 A Journey of Integration
In my work, I focus on the integration of the whole self—the mind, body, and spirit. My approach is rooted in presence, embodiment, and deep listening. By creating space for vulnerability and presence, I help individuals and teams navigate through their shadows and limiting beliefs to embody a life that is authentic, purposeful, and aligned with their core essence.
✨ Transformational Coaching
My coaching is not about fixing or achieving success in the conventional sense—it's about peeling back layers and uncovering what’s always been true. Through deep inquiry and somatic awareness, I help individuals reclaim their inner wisdom, heal from past wounds, and live in harmony with their true self. Together, we walk a path of introspection and awakening that honors both the light and the shadow.
🌱 Nature-Based Learning
Having always been drawn to nature, I use its wisdom as a mirror for self-awareness and growth. My nature-based learning experiences—whether in the form of outdoor retreats, rites of passage, or soulcraft ceremonies—invite individuals and groups to step into the unknown, face their fears, and find strength in vulnerability.
🌿 Selfcraft – A Quest for Freedom
Selfcraft is an immersive journey of self-discovery set in nature's embrace. Through guided inquiry, rituals, and ceremonies, participants explore deep questions like "Who am I?" and "What is my true nature?" This process fosters intra-personal awareness and a strong sense of self-presence.🔥 Men's Rites of Passage
I facilitate transformative men's circles and vision quests that incorporate storytelling, drumming, breathwork, and group exercises. These rites honor masculinity, encourage vulnerability, and support men in embracing their authentic paths and purposes.🏞️ Outlife – Experiential Education & Team Building
In 2012, I founded Outlife, a pioneering organization specializing in outdoor education, outbound training, and team development programs across India. Outlife was featured on ETNow in 2016 for its innovative approach to experiential learning.🧗 Great Hyderabad Adventure Club (GHAC)
In 2008, I founded GHAC, India's largest and most active adventure club, which has organized over 5,000 events nationwide. GHAC was recognized in the Limca Book of Records in 2013 for its significant impact on promoting adventure activities.
🌌 Spiritual Presence
My journey is deeply intertwined with spirituality. Whether through Sufi practices, meditation, or ritual, I seek to foster a relationship with the Divine, the unseen, and the sacred. This spiritual thread runs through all my work, guiding my approach to healing and personal growth.
🎓 Education & Background
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering and an MBA in Marketing. Additionally, I have a Diploma in Experiential Education and various certifications in Training and Development, Behavioral Competency, Facilitation Skills, and Human Potential Coaching. I am an alumnus of the Founder Institute and Startup Leadership.
Previously, I served as an IT Manager in the telecom industry for 11 years before transitioning to pursue my passion for the outdoors and experiential education.
🧭 My Path
Before stepping fully into the world of coaching and experiential learning, I spent many years in the corporate world, where I cultivated skills in leadership and facilitation. But it was through my own healing journey that I found my true calling. I now walk the path of integrating the wisdom of the heart, the lessons of the earth, and the guidance of spirit to offer transformative experiences to others.
