about us
Welcome to the Nature of Living Retreats!
Our journey began with a simple idea: to create a space where individuals can reconnect with nature, rejuvenate their spirits, and rediscover their true selves. Inspired by the profound beauty of the natural world and the transformative power of mindful living, we set out to design retreats that offer more than just an escape – they provide a path to holistic well-being.
At the core of our philosophy is the belief that we can only truly give from an overflowing cup. This principle guides our approach to every retreat, creating an environment where participants can nurture themselves first, creating a ripple effect of wellness and generosity that extends well beyond our transformational experiences.
At Nature of Living Retreats, we believe in the healing properties of nature, the importance of self-care, and the magic that happens when like-minded individuals come together to make a difference for themselves and the world. Our retreats are thoughtfully curated to combine wellness practices, personal growth workshops, giving back, and the serenity of nature, ensuring that each participant leaves with a renewed sense of purpose and peace.
Make it stand out.
Meet Your Founder
Dana Shalit is a certified clinical hypnotherapist, spiritual facilitator, and philanthropist with an expert ability to connect others to authentic peace, purpose, and power. After running an event production company and charity for over a decade, she became a top sales leader with a global brand, where she excelled as a coach and speaker. Despite reaching that coveted 1%, speaking on stages, and traveling the world, she was grieving, suffering, and feeling utterly disconnected. She set out on a quest for peace and became fascinated by the subconscious mind and the inner workings of our nervous system.
In the midst of the pandemic, Dana found a new home in beautiful Costa Rica, where she fell in love with the holistic wellness opportunities that the region had to offer. Surrounded by lush nature and a vibrant community dedicated to health and healing, she immersed herself in learning and practicing various wellness modalities. This idyllic setting not only provided her with personal healing but also inspired her to share these transformative experiences with others.
With certifications in Clinical Hypnotherapy, Rapid Transformation Therapy, Past Life Regression Therapy, and trauma-informed Somatics, Dana uses conscious coaching and subconscious therapy to curate sessions, workshops, programs, and retreats that help others find peace, purpose, and prosperity in every area of their lives.
Dana's passion for travel and her extensive experience in charity work allow her to create impactful and service-oriented retreat experiences around the world. She blends her love for exploration with her commitment to making a difference, offering retreats that not only heal and inspire but also leave a positive impact on the communities they touch.
