About this trip

Communing with Mother Earth

Gaia Villa
May 18 - 21, 2023


There is nothing like being in the middle of Joshua Tree … it’s quiet, grounding, massive, and alive with cosmic energy.  I go there to ground, to reset my internal Earth compass, and commune with nature.  



Early bird ends November 30 2022 


We gather for the New Moon at Gaia Villa and this retreat will be about: 


Connecting with our Earth energy 

Exploring the inspiration alive within us when it’s quiet 

Sharing ideas, thoughts and vulnerabilities with other like-minded people.

Recalibrating to a higher resolution of living.  

Attuning our body, mind and hearts to a higher vibration

Dana led an amazing retreat in Joshua tree! This was my second retreat planned and led by Dana and the experience filled my soul and helped me progress on my healing journey. I met a group of amazing resilient women and shared stories and fun outdoor adventures with them. The yoga and breathwork sessions were incredible and the sound healing at the Integratron was awesome. Tyler‘s massage was truly a gift for mind and body. We enjoyed healthy meals every day, Thanks to our incredible vegan chef.

Dana is an exceptional leader! It was a wonderful trip and I highly recommend!
By Jennifer T for Communing with Mother Earth on Feb 21, 2024
Location - The location of this retreat was incredible! I was very happy with my hotel accommodations, the spa, access to the beaches, the food, the service and the yoga room and props. Yoga - The theme for the week, the class duration and pace of class was great. When I needed to sit out, I did so. Meals - The food was great at the hotel. I would have preferred to not have every dinner at the hotel (outside of the offsite group dinner). To have a bit more flexibility on being able to choose to eat in or go out. I think having an option to include dinner as part of the package versus paying on an per meal (dinner) basis would be helpful. Breakfast included for sure. Thank you again Dana for yet another amazing experience!
