ABOUT DANA
My mission is to support the peace, safety, learning and healing of women through shared “slow travel”. My offerings are safe, professional and well-organized. I revel in creating environments where women experience personal grounding and centering, giving them access to full presence. This allows them to immerse themselves in the lovely venues, creative expression, nourishing food, and fascinating places I lovingly curate.
I use what I've learned as a trauma survivor, artist and advocate to make people's lives better. To help us see the broader world around us, and participate more fully in life.
I am working toward a future where women feel safe and empowered not only on retreat, but every place they occupy. Where their power, strength and knowledge is respected, honored and celebrated. Where women don’t have to heal from broken families and relationships, because there is balance and mutual respect in the world.
​
I bring my background as an artist, event planner and community activist
to all the work that I do.
