your host, Dani
The first time I planned a retreat for my women's empowerment mentorship, Slow and Steady, I was hooked. I love traveling (we stayed in 31 AirBnb's in 2023!) so planning a traveling experience for other people is right up my alley.
I have also been on a wellness journey for half my life so I am in tune with how maddening the human experience is and the mind-fuckery that comes with being a woman. We carry the weight of the world on our shoulders, so I host retreats to give you an opportunity to get away from life's responsibilities for a few days, get in touch with what is really important, and learn how to heal from all the wounds we are carrying around with us.
This is for you if...
- You’re constantly caring for others and rarely find time for yourself. This retreat is your chance to put your needs first and focus on your well-being.
- You have been in a funk. You feel uninspired. You can't get your groove back.
- You struggle with negative self-perceptions, overthinking, and low self-esteem.
- Trauma from your past haunts you and you can't seem to move past it.
- You want to prioritize your self-care, but it's impossible in day-to-day life.
- You just need a vacation and the Universe put this in your path.
- You never feel fully seen by the people in your life. You don't even know if you see yourself clearly.
- You desire meaningful connections with like-minded women who understand your journey. Share experiences, support one another, and build lasting friendships in a supportive community.
- You're grieving and you don't know how to work through it.
Don't take it from me; here's what my past retreat attendees have to say...
5 nights of serenity in Punta Rucia, Dominican Republic
Why Punta Rucia?
I generally stay really open to where my retreats are going to end up. I start scouring AirBnb/VRBO and let the Universe point me in the right direction. After doing a glamping retreat last year, I wanted to go the complete opposite direction and offer a retreat where it's all about deep relaxation, in the most exquisite setting, with the backdrop of the ocean.
Punta Rucia is a hidden gem on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, offering a perfect blend of tranquility and natural beauty. Unlike the bustling resorts of Punta Cana, Punta Rucia is a sleepy beach town where the pace of life slows down, allowing you to fully unwind and relax. Here are other reasons why Punta Rucia was chosen as the destination for my Serenity by the Sea retreat:
1. Secluded Serenity: Far removed from the crowds and noise, Punta Rucia provides an idyllic backdrop for a retreat focused on peace and relaxation. The quiet beaches and gentle waves create a soothing atmosphere, ideal for unwinding and reconnecting with yourself.
2. Natural Beauty: The stunning landscapes of Punta Rucia, with its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, offer a visual feast for the senses. The area’s natural beauty enhances the overall experience, making every moment of the retreat more rejuvenating.
3. Local Charm: Punta Rucia retains its authentic Dominican charm, allowing you to experience local culture and hospitality. The town’s unspoiled and welcoming vibe adds a unique and enriching dimension to your retreat experience.
4. Paradise Island: A short boat ride away is the breathtaking Paradise Island, known for its vibrant coral reefs and excellent snorkeling. This natural wonder is a highlight of the retreat, providing an unforgettable adventure in the midst of your relaxation journey.
5. Holistic Healing: The tranquil environment of Punta Rucia supports holistic healing practices. The calming sound of the ocean waves, combined with the serene surroundings, creates a perfect setting for meditation, yoga, and other restorative activities.
6. Connection with Nature: The close proximity to nature in Punta Rucia allows for outdoor activities such as beach yoga, oceanfront massages, and peaceful walks along the shore, enhancing your connection with the natural world and promoting overall well-being.
Testimonials
Here's what some of the past retreat attendees have to say about their experience...
"The relationships that were formed on this trip are absolutely life altering. We quickly turned deeply into ourselves and felt safe enough to get vulnerable to get started on important life work. For me it has been self love and self acceptance. I feel that I have made big strides toward a deeper love and acceptance of myself that it otherwise would have taken years to achieve."
Rene
"“Growth comes from challenging ourselves to step outside our comfort zone”… I just kept saying this to myself when I decided to attend Dani’s Costa Rica women’s retreat. Once I made to decision to attend I turned OFF all the voices in my head. That little voice trying to justify why going to a foreign country with a bunch of women I didn’t know was a crazy idea... ya that one, because let me just tell you... all the best things in life start with a crazy idea. What I gained from this retreat has forever changed the story of my life. My heart, mind, body and soul are open deeper than I ever knew possible. I found friendships and inspiration from women that TRULY elevate me as a human….. Say yes to the woman you want to become and then pack your bags for the amazing journey!"

"This retreat helped me build the bridge where the gap was. Not only did it help me connect with my pain, but move with it, change the story. It also helped me build connections and lean into people again. I feel like the workshops sparked my spiritual practice again, helped me forgive, and move on from things that are no longer serving me…old stories. It helped me realize I am worthy and awesome and I have a purpose here in this world. As a yoga teacher, I've helped so many heal, it was great to let myself have time to heal again too.
I'm grateful for this time and it feels so good to be back. Thank you Dani."
