"This course saved my relationship on multiple occasions! The tools are simple yet powerful, and have already increased the depth and authenticity of our communication and connection. I'd recommend this to every couple I know." - MS

"Dayna was unbelievably powerful. Her gentle vigilance in keeping us in a relational state by having us take a big breath if things got more heated was very profound. She led with a beautiful balance of tender gentleness and firm command of timing, the space, the exercises, etc. She made facilitation look effortless, which I know it’s not as a facilitator myself. She created a safe environment where people felt able to get very vulnerable and honest." -SL

These wild plums are bountiful this year. And so are the hawthorns and chokecherries so many other beautiful medicines and fruits of this earth. She is so generous!

The jungle sings
To welcome the night

A symphony of sound
Greets the fullness of my heart

And here I return
As the river flows and grows
Again and again and yet again

Trustworthy is the voice of the forest.

Rainbow love all around! 🌈♥️💦

Bursting with love and filled with admiration for this incredible kid. ?!

Hello in this portal of bountiful May 👋🏽

That full Beltane moon is coming with an eclipse to shake us and wake us.

May your feet be rooted to earth, may your heart be soft and open and may your soul prayers be a flowing!

What to say about this past weekend? I am stretched in the best of ways, having given my all to this incredible group of humans. 🤣

I learn more about my capacity each time I lead these groups, and how to lead in a way that is vulnerable and courageous, strong and soft, both full and empty of myself. Phew… this path of authentic leadership is beautifully dynamic.

Giving thanks for these practices of and . May it ripple far and wide in service of healing, transformation, wholeness and well-being.

I have come to deeply appreciate how important it is to have a solid and aligned team when leading trainings.

And this crew, our incredible staff for The ART of Leadership Costa Rica Level 3, was a dream team!

Together we held 19 individuals in a powerful week of inner transformation, community cultivation, leadership exploration and so much more. It’s hard to describe what happens in this field, but I think it’s reasonable to say that each and every one of us got rewired in a way that makes more possible for ourselves and this world we wish to serve.

Love most definitely happened and the ripples will be felt by many!

Connection is the language of a generative life!

I am so grateful for the simple yet profound tools of The ART of Being Human, Level 1 . These practices have supported me to cultivate more empowering, nourishing, vulnerable and trustable connections with myself and others. I can’t recommend it enough!

These photos are from the Miami level 1 course last month and capture some of the magic.

Boulder, CO is next on April 9-10!

“Dayna taught my level 1 and 2 courses in Costa Rica, and she did an amazing job facilitating. On multiple occasions participants brought up real-world issues, including conflicts that arose between the participants of the workshop. I’ve taken several social skills / leadership workshops, and typically if something like that comes up, the facilitator will either ask that we take that offline (often using this s a delaying tactic and never actually doing anything offline to address the issue), or they will get very controlling and force a rapid “solution” that helps the flow of the workshop, while leaving the underlying issue to ferment. Dayna actively invited these issues to come to the surface, and tried to help the participants to solve the issue themselves by pointing out the potential ways to apply the ART principles in that situation, and if that failed, taking a more active role in mediating the discussion until all parties agreed that they were satisfied with the solution. I was very impressed at her ability to help everyone to feel heard, as well as navigating the egos, personalities, emotions, conflicting values, misunderstandings, assumptions, misunderstandings, and other issues that arise in these situations, and far from shrinking away from the issues, demonstrating that seemingly thorny conflicts can be navigated with dignity, poise, and respect, and brought to a mutually acceptable resolution rather than escalating.” -SH

I do.

It’s my deep purpose
to look for
discover
root down
and raise up
this medicine
within myself
and each of you.

And guess what?
It happens in and through the body.

And you know what else?
I’m tingling with excitement

Several years ago I dove head first into learning, practicing and then teaching relational skills.

Why?

Because even though I had a robust personal practice including heaps of yoga, meditation, breathwork, plant medicine, therapy, and a long list of deeply explored personal growth techniques, my
relationships were suffering.

My relationship with God was solid. But my most intimate connections with humans were difficult.

I went to couples therapy, and at times it helped. But still I did not really have the tools to support me through the triggers and communication breakdowns that were devastating my relationships.

The practices of authentic relating have been game-changing for me. I have learned simple, effective principles and practices of relational intelligence that support me to express myself in a way my partner can hear, and to really listen so that he feels seen and known.

Conflict definitely still happens, but we have the tools to meet it and move through it, bringing us closer along the way.

Relationships need to be tended, and if you are feeling called to tend yours, I’d love for you to join me for The ART of Intimacy, a 6 week course starting January 25th for partners to learn and practice these powerful tools together.

And with that, I turned 41. I’ve been imagining what this year would be like for a long time, as this is the year my child turns 18.

Interesting to arrive in the future and look back on the past, marveling at the trickster of time and how long and short it all feels. And the lessons!

Oh this life! This wild ride of life! For it all, the beautiful and the ugly, the shadows and the brilliance, I am grateful.

Here’s to another ride around the sun, on this beauty of a planet spinning through space, with all of you incredible humans. Lets make it count.

🌟 Welcome 2022 🌟

A couple nights ago, the night the fires were blazing not far from my home, I had a dream. The dark forces were coming for us (specifically Trollocs for Wheel of Time fans
🤣), and I was scrambling for weapons and trying to hide. Then a group of us decided all we could do was sing and make merry. I gathered a group of women and we marched together, beating our drums and singing with everything we got.

And that is my image for 2022. No matter what is surrounding us, we can face it together, singing, standing for each other, creating the rising tide that lifts all boats. You with me? Let’s do this.

And thank the heavens for this bountiful snow ❄️🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽❄️

Sunday morning visioning…
Matcha to sip, candle lit, soft music swirling and my creative fires burning.

Got some sweet offerings coming for ya in the New Year 🌟🔥🌟

#2022

The wild winds
Greet me
Home
Welcoming my full heart
Laden with treasures
Of Pura vida familia
I miss the thick sounds of the sweet night’s air
Now so far away
As I snuggle into soft sheets
And drink drink drink the precious water of these dry lands
Praying for moisture
Praying for balance
Praying for all my relations
Soul forward shining
I am here

Oh Madre Tierra of these soft coastal jungles… te amo tanto tanto tanto!

Everyday I get to work with humans whose lives have been immeasurably impacted by the connective practices of and ♥️

We are halfway through our online ART of Intimacy course for couples, and in last night’s session many shared about how these practices are supporting greater ease in conflict, and deeper understanding and well being in their relationships in general.

It is stories like these that give me the hutzbah to get up at 3am and get on a plane to continue sharing these tools with the world.

here I come! ✈️

This one has taken me a long time to learn...

If you hide yourself, and what is really happening within, you will never fulfill your longing to be deeply seen and known by others.

Sometimes I feel lonely, or bored, or uninspired.

And then I go outside.

I let the jagged edges of my mind release their grip on me and open my senses to the extraordinary web of creation blooming all around.

Disconnection is the disease of our times. I believe it is the root cause of our multitudes of devastating problems plaguing our earth and humanity.

We forget that we do not and cannot exist in isolation, from each other and this generous earth we call home. We forget that every ripple in the pond of life sends out infinite concentric rings of impact.

These days I’m wondering if the solutions may be simpler than the overwhelmingly complicated thoughts I’ve been wresting with to solve the quagmire of our times.

What if it were as simple as remembering our interdependence and interconnectedness with each other and nature?

What if we could wean ourselves from the addiction of illusory separation that modernity has conditioned into us?

What if we could truly remember, embody and live from the consciousness of interdependence with all of life? This shift in consciousness would necessarily cause huge ripples in our world.

From this understanding it feels true that you, and I, actually do have enormous impact on the whole.

So what is one thing you can do today to realize within yourself the interconnectivity that always is, and remind one other person of this? I’d love to hear your thoughts below.

It certainly takes a village! May we remember together our natural intelligence that is always creating miracles.

Since I was fifteen I’ve been deeply inspired by the teachings of Tom Brown Jr, and this past week I had the epic opportunity to spend a week in the wilds of New Jersey learning from him. So. Much. Yes.

I learned ways to expand my awareness and connect to nature that are simple and profound, and truly the medicine this world needs.

Big thanks to my sis for adventuring with me into the woods and to the beautiful cedar swamp swimming hole for keeping us clean and fresh through the heat. Deep bow to this lineage and the tremendous wisdom shared with so much love.
