Step out of the momentum tunnel and into the sweet embrace of Mother Nature
Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this remote land just outside of Santa Fe. Marvel at the antics of the ravens atop the Ponderosa pine. Stargaze around the campfire with like-hearted women. Delight in the play of the hummingbirds. Nap in a hammock. Hike to a waterfall. There is spaciousness in the schedule so that you may nourish yourself in whatever way pleases you.
"The times are urgent, let us slow down."

"Dana’s offerings are magic! She is a master curator of experience. The heart opening I experience leaves me a better person. I always come away centered and with new insight on myself and my life path. The warm glow of community and sisterhood supports me through my days til the next event."
- Felicity Erwin, Splendid Corp
"Dana’s circles are so magical and transformative. I’ve taken many classes and trainings over the years (Omega Institute, NY Open, & Kripalu) and can say with certainty that Dana is an absolute gem, the real deal. It is obvious that she loves what she shares. Her enthusiasm is intoxicating. She walks her talk and shares her authentic self. "
- Kerry McSpedon, Craniosacral Therapist
"The sisterhood Dana has fostered is so important to me. The connection between the women and the support I receive helps me grow stronger. The practices encourage my body, heart, mind and soul to align and help me to be so much more present. I especially appreciate the invitation to let go of what it looks like and tune in to the feeling!"
- Theresa Hess
