Inspiration to shift your perspective and engagement with self and life. Key-codes for expansion and intuitive living.

When we actively seek to expand and shift paradigms and beliefs we are able to access deeper wisdom and intuit the highest choices for our wellbeing and purpose. Key to this, is engagement in inspiring content and experiences and connection with like‑spirited people.

NEW MOON LODGES FOR MODERN WOMEN 2020

Our beautiful Lodges for modern women will gather under the 2020 new moons to explore Connection with the self, each other, new perspectives, spiritual modalities and expanded paradigms.

I am SUPER excited to bring you incredible speakers and experiences, included in the weave this year will be a new series: BROTHER SUN – SISTER MOON.

Every second month or so I have asked a blazing, happy, successful man to lead the Lodge and explore with us the Modern Masculine Spirit. Each male lead has his own unique blend of personal philosophy and practice which enables them to operate as a modern spiritual man. And as usual, our new leads will be flanked by an array of spectacular women who embody the theme of Connection.

Get to know Dani

I am a popular speaker at networking forums and workshops, a published writer and I hold regular retreats in Asia and Australia.

About Dani

Dani has made a profound impact in my life this year. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I have always dabbled in meditation but now it is daily practice through Dani’s knowledge, guidance and love. It has changed me. It has given me a faith and a peace with myself and circumstances that I never dreamt possible. I see the world through different eyes. Dani has been a gift to me from the universe. Truly. My gratitude cannot be written in words. My Tuesdays with Dani and the meditation group are my favourite day of the week. Dani’s approach is extremely well educated and authentic coupled with raw humour and joyfulness. I know that I am only at the tip of the iceberg but I am excited at what the journey will bring with you as my teacher. Forever connected. Love and light.

SO

It’s hard explain in words the magic that is the creative spirit retreat. It’s something that just has to be experienced. I loved it, Java, it’s people, the land, the art, the meditation, the connections, the conversations, the new friendships and deep learnings…I could go on! It is a gift every woman should give herself to refill her spiritual and creative cup, and energise her to live the life she was destined for. Truly magic! Xx

Have you ever woken in the night with an un-remembered question on your lips and a quiet query in your heart? The Journey to the Centre of Self is the pilgrimage we all need to take. THIS is what your heart is searching for – the divine Dani’s gentle guidance home to yourself. Let there be light, tranquility, peace & resolution. I can say with all my heart that I have travelled beyond my fears and trepidations, renewed, encouraged and aware; charged & changed laughing & lighter. This course is here now and waiting for you.

Heartfelt THANK YOU for the amazing week of discovery and experiences.

I cannot recommend the Creative Spirit Retreat in Java highly enough. Led by the cosmic duo, Dani and Anna, it combines immersion into meditation and art (absolute beginners in either discipline are more than welcome) with an exploration of Java’s extraordinary scenery and delightful people. My experience was spiritually profound; connecting with the land, the elements, the temples and much else allowed insights to fledge full and a sense of personal empowerment to emerge. Meeting the artists in their studios or workspaces was a particular privilege and I am thrilled with the rather large painting I just had to buy! Perhaps it was the intensity of the spiritual and creative activities, or perhaps it was the most wonderful group of women I came to know often over many glasses of wine and whom I now affectionately call my Java sisters, or perhaps it was the energy of the place, but whatever it was I returned happier, stronger, and with renewed excitement and enthusiasm for life and it’s endless possibilities. Thank you Dani and Anna, it was a blast!!

Each journey is so powerful and with so much learning. Dani gives her heart, love and wisdom to every class, always leaving me (us) feeling wanting more!! Thanks luv!! You have been the best that has happen to me in Singapore!

How The Spirit of Giving Generates Flow

December 16, 2020

I don’t know about you, but this time of year can be quite fraught for me. There’s the end of year whirlwind with work, accounts, school activities, and reminders of all the things I didn’t get to, through the year (gulp!).

Within the range of clients that engage me privately and attend my esoteric courses, there’s a vibrant community of entrepreneurs. These are people who are seeking to work with the energetic dynamics that create success in their business endeavours. It’s a form of engagement that I call ‘Generative Magic’.
