Nine Retreat

And I say “us” because whatever work and self care is done on myself helps US: how I relate with every area of my life including one of the biggest ones; my relationship with Evan.

Today I am sharing Nine Retreat, which is a dynamic retreat for women that I have been attending for a few years (I attended the very first one in 2014!)

It’s hard to put into words all the amazing life changing moments and experiences I’ve had with Nine but I’ll try:

I like to describe Nine like my favorite movie, The Wizard of Oz:

• Take a magical adventure to a beautiful place
• Meet your best friends
• Realize gifts you’ve been searching for are all within

One of the most incredible things about this retreat is the connection between women. It can be so intimidating to walk into a room full of women and feel like they might be judging you. That doesn’t happen at Nine because everyone is instantly in it together. There are no outsiders.

Last fall the retreat was held in Montana and I photographed it. This year will be held in Pennsylvania.

If you feel called, please don’t hesitate to join us in September! You are in for an amazing life changing experience. Click the Nine website to sign up. If you use my code “Dana” when you register, you get $200 off!

If you want more information and you’re in the OC/LA area, we are hosting a discussion about Nine in Upland on July 31 at 7pm and we’d love to have you!

Hope to see you!
