Why Learn, Develop, & Practice Together?

Sometimes the deepest growth happens in the presence of others. Developing skills and capabilities collectively can magnify insight, energy, and ideas. Peer support and learning creates community, deepens insight, and enhances our sense of connection with something greater than ourselves.

These options can be more cost-effective than 1:1 work, can be accessed either online or in-person, and may offer both live and asynchronous learning- making them flexible, accessible, and more schedule-friendly.

Programs can be designed to include peer collaborative learning outside of the group experiences, enhancing value on multiple levels.

Whether it’s a practice group, a class, a workshop, or a program, developing in a group can be powerful.

    “Divisive rhetoric is especially prevalent at this time in our nation. However, Dana serves as an antidote. No matter what the gathering, her skilled facilitation creates a safe place for all to feel value and belonging. In other words, group work becomes community”

    ~ Sharon, Retired Ecumenical Spiritual Chaplain

  • “I highly recommend Dana’s meditation classes. Previous classes I’ve attended focus soley on the practice, but her unique approach engages my mind, body, and spirit. The experiences I have in her classes leave me feeling lighter in spirit and more whole.”

    ~ CHARMMS (Charbonneau Meditation, Mindfulness, & Somatics Society Member)

  • “This workshop was worth so much more than I paid. The practical tools and resources for mindfulness were my favorite part. The 5s’s will help me practice beyond the workshop and in my daily life. The apps are helpful, but this will allow me to practice independently.”
