When you shed karmic agreements, you realize you have never been broken!
You have never been unloved!
You are whole! And You are ENOUGH...
I looked in your mirror long ago and began a lifelong romance with myself. I declared, "Dayanna.":
You deserve to be loved.
You deserve to be heard.
You deserve to meet the real YOU.
It has been an uphill quest. Brutal at times!
Because not every day, I've been my fan.
Not every day, I've awakened with the motivation to persist on.
Not every time I've felt loved. Heard. Desired. Seen.
But over time, I've learned to embrace my shadows and forgive and accept myself wholeheartedly. I am the only one who can make myself happy and feel whole!
Time and time again, the daring force that has kept me going are the whispers deep down in my heart that remind me that there is someone that needs to hear my story. A calling to keep lighting up the torches of women committed to changing their lives and owning their stories.
And over time, I've heard women say:
"You live your life on your terms."
"Oh, now I get it, Dayanna!"
"You honor your gifts."
"You did not choose to do what you do. You were chosen"
And so, our Soul Journeying to Costa Rica Retreat was about honoring my calling and creating a sacred space for the women who chose to live on their terms.
This retreat is for the women who intuitively understand that the distance between their perceived weakness and their true inner strength lies in their courage to embrace their darkness and embody their truth with conviction.
You can rescue yourself and rebirth the woman within when you stop keeping score of your wounds, silence your doubts, and allow your light to shine through the crevices of your fears when you open yourself and take ownership of your voice and responsibility for your reactions.
Deep down within your soul, you know who you are! You just need to be guided to her...
I invite you to meet the women who, during the retreat, courageously leaped into the unknown and shed tears of love, pain, and joy, unafraid to meet their magic—leaning in and learning to genuinely love themselves so they can break away from generational karma and rewrite their story.
They are embodying their truth and setting themselves and their daughters free.
They found how to self-love.
They came back home to their heart.
They felt the rawness of shadow work.
They saw their beautiful reflection looking back, welcoming them into a big embrace.
Magic. Synergy. Alignment. Courage. Vulnerability and a deep love for oneself and one another were present throughout our journey.
Even beyond time and space, we felt surrounded by synchronicities and divine presence...
From day one, we all felt we were missing someone. Every day, we felt this void and kept waiting and checking for someone who "wasn't there."
None of us said anything until our third day when we were about to leave our first retreat house and felt we were leaving someone behind.
All of us agreed in surprise!
By Wednesday, I felt the ones we were missing were all the women I've guided through the years that wanted to be with us and, for different reasons, couldn't.
The daughters that were with us in spirit.
And our ancestors, making their presence be felt in gratitude for our work when we break away from taboos, inherited beliefs, shame, and guilt, setting them free.
And so we honored them in a fire ceremony, and, later in the night, a womb healing transmuted it all back to love.
It was sublime, and after days of torrential rain, while they were going deep and tuning in to Mother Nature's rhythms, a stunning sunset opened up on the last day as we sat around drinking wine and sharing our experiences.
I am still in awe and see now how we have weaved a thread of light, birthing a Circle ⭕️ of empowered women honoring their essence, reclaiming their sovereignty, and healing and rewriting ❤️🩹 new karmic agreements.
They are cycle breakers, disrupting paradigms and shedding old beliefs.
Their voices are anthems of freedom, confidence, and clarity, and I honor their bravery today!
Soon I will be creating another sacred container. If you feel ready to take a leap, meet your soul, and expand your vision? Get on the list and be the first to know and apply! And if you feel inspired, share why you need to join this journey!
