  • Join us Sunday, February 5, March 5, + April 2 from 2:00-3:15 p.m at terra sol sanctuary.

    This workshop is for anyone who has wrestled with body acceptance (whether it be your gender identity, size, skin color, or wherever your judgement about your body lies) and who desires to explore self-compassion and tune into the goodness of your body. This 3-part series incorporates lovingkindness into meditation and embodiment practices as tools for cultivating a tenderness and love for our bodies and our beings. We will begin with practicing how to send lovingkindness to ourselves. In the next session, we will uncover the power of the mind-body-soul connection. And in the last session, we will learn to discover joy in things as they are as we take our practice into the world. No matter how you identify and whether you are new to mindfulness or have been practicing for years, we welcome your unique presence. You are warmly invited to show up to heal, forgive, and find joy in your body and your being.

    Suggested rates for the entire series:
    •Access for All:     $35.00
    •Make It Happen: $70.00
    •Pay It Forward: $85.00 +

    Suggested rate for single class: $27.00

ONE-TO-ONE COACHING

  • As a mindfulness teacher, Dana works with you to teach you to learn and deepen your practice of mindfulness so that you can live a life that is healthy, grounded, and joyful. In addition to mindfulness practices, they use a combination of meditation techniques, embodiment practices, Qigong, and yoga to support your journey to cultivating a more peaceful existence.

    Dana identifies as non-binary trans and specializes in working with trans, non-binary, and queer individuals to help dismantle gender and sexual identity dysphoria, develop a stronger sense of self, and nurture lovingkindness towards their bodies and being.

    Mindful embodiment coaching is not body-assisted therapy; it is learning to sit gently and compassionately with oneself to bring change and liberation. Power to the Peaceful highly encourages you to have a strong support system as you do this work (e.g., trusted friends and loved ones, a licensed therapist, self-care practices, etc.). We recognize that not all people have access to this, and we are here to help. Check out our Collaborators and resources for ways to build your support system.

  • I offer free 30-minute consultations to answer any questions you may have and help you decide if one-on-one mindfulness coaching is the best path for you.

    While not all students are the same, many find the most benefit with a total of 8 bi-weekly sessions, lasting 75 minutes each, or a total 8 weekly sessions lasting 45 minutes each. In person and virtual sessions are also available.

    Sessions will include time for you to share, guided meditation, walks and movement in nature, grounding exercises, Qigong, and gentle yoga and stretching.

    I also offer a variety of half-day arts-based sessions (such as poetry, painting, and dance), and nature-based adventures (such as kayaking, hiking, and biking).

    Please contact me to set up a consult and discuss your needs and rates for each: Power2PeacefulCollective@gmail.com. Make sure to put “1:1 Coaching” in the subject line.
