Meditation Method
OJAI, CALIFORNIA IMMERSION
CONNECT. INSPIRE. LEAD.
Been feeling inspired to take meditation and mindfulness off of your cushion and out into the world?
Having experienced the incredible ways personal growth and spiritual development have transformed and elevated your own life - it’s only natural to want to share that with others, babe!
You already bring that sense of presence, positivity, and calm wherever you go, whether it be the office cubicle, PTA meeting, or the yoga room. People feel it. And they let you know.
What if you could finally say to people, with complete confidence:
“Hey, come to my class and I’ll help you find this same presence of peace within YOU!”
Guidance + Encouragement.
Even if it’s just an idea you’ve been tossing around in your head, but never actually considered it realistic to follow through on… or one you can’t stop dreaming about..
The desire to TEACH is real.
And you have a feeling that if you had just a touch more guidance and a dash of loving encouragement, this whole teaching thing could be something that expands your life in a big way…
And yet…
Even though you have visions of facilitating life-changing meditations and providing transformational experiences….
- The thought of having all eyes on you and uninterested looks on people’s faces terrifies you to no end
- The whole charging money and finding a space to host your meditations gives you more shrill than thrill
- Outlining and planning your class takes longer than the actual class itself
- You’re just not sure it’s YOUR path
ENTER THE OJAI IMMERSION

THE BUZZ
“I had never been to a retreat before and wasn't fully prepared for what was in store for me. It was truly a life changing experience. I will carry on what I learned and my memories for a very long time.” -Lianne Hall
“Danielle approaches her teachings from an incredibly practice place, while still leveraging the "woo woo" to enhance her teachings. Through the immersion, Danielle kept pace with the plan, but allowed space if things needed to change. She also seemed to intuitively check in with the group, and shift as needed when we were needing a different pace then originally planned. To put it simply, she's real and genuine. What she is teaching is needed, and important, and creating a ripple effect on the world.” -Sarah Senan Wahiba
