Dear beautiful women,

I want to tell you a story about why the upcoming retreat at Dancing Rabbit matters so deeply to me.

In 2012, during my very first summer living at Dancing Rabbit, Danielle and I went on a road trip together to a women’s retreat. That weekend changed my life. The camaraderie, the vulnerability, the laughter, the truth-telling, the sense of being fully seen and welcomed–those experiences didn’t fade when the weekend ended. They shaped the woman I became. They shaped the friendships I still carry more than a decade later, even though I no longer live at Dancing Rabbit.

Danielle is now one of my “extraordinary friends.” Not a friend defined by hierarchy or obligation, but the kind of soul-connection where someone is there for you no matter what, and also loves you enough to offer radical honesty, deep reflection, and unwavering presence. That kind of relationship is rare. And it is priceless.

One of my greatest hopes for each woman who attends this year’s retreat is that you get the chance to meet someone who becomes an extraordinary friend in your life.

Community is a cornerstone of mental health and resilient humanity. Dancing Rabbit has been cultivating intentional, heart-centered community since the mid-1990s; a place where people learn how to live, love, repair, grow, and stay when things get uncomfortable. A place where all of you is welcome, even the parts that might annoy your neighbor, and no one is disposable.

This retreat is a long weekend where you will be both deeply comforted and gently (and sometimes boldly) stretched. You will rest, soften, laugh, and also push your edges; physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Danielle is a masterful curator of transformative experiences. She weaves together breathwork, sacred theater, ecstatic dance, somatic practices, deep introspection, and sacred community in a way that creates real, lasting change. These are not just activities, they are portals into meeting yourself more fully and connecting more authentically with others.

I am honored to be serving as a facilitator for this year’s women’s retreat where I will hold the container that supports each of you stepping into more of the woman you long to be. I invite you to lean into Danielle’s expertise, into the container of this community, and into the possibility of:

• Deepening connection with yourself

• Finding an extraordinary friend

• Experiencing real, resilient community

• Strengthening the relationships that matter most in your life

• Taking a meaningful step forward in your emotional, spiritual, and relational growth

This weekend isn’t just a break from life. It’s an upgrade in how you live it.

With love and anticipation,

Kassandra
