Dan ☥ Arhakos

∴ Devoted to Gaia, God + the Goddess

∴ Space Holder + Retreat Facilitator

☥ 1:1 Healing Sessions, Group Classes + Retreats available

Born and raised within Staten Island, NYC to a loving and caring family who always supported her way of life. Yet, as the years went on things changed and she yearned for more out of existence with an ache in her bones for a divine connection that wouldn’t stop calling. 

 

Starting out with teaching yoga and meditation to special needs students and adults in 2018 was where her ‘teaching’ journey truly took off. By seeing that in their hearts and minds they could reach inner calmness, peacefulness and continue on executing the rest of their day, they taught her more than she could have ever imagined. Which is why she left those systems to travel and teach the public. 

As a 1:1 mentor and guide for all beings, she uses the various healing modalities to bring people back to themselves, their wildest souls self - walking through the darkest with them to remind them of their greatest potential. Holding space via Zoom and in person for various healing circles, ceremonies, classes, etc. bringing a community from all over the globe together to be seen, heard and honored. 

Prior to working at a Plant Medicine Church in 2021, she had already worked as a plant medicine space holder and facilitator and hosted day long retreats local to her area. As time has went out she left the church and branched out into being one of the co creators and head facilitators of Kaia Retreats (Discovering Kaia, LLC.). Intimate retreats with a variety of healing modalities heavily focused on pre and post integration thus, creating a close and safe container for healing.

Connecting with others to help deepen hers and their understanding of Self, Others and the Universe is just one of the many multidimensional ways she allow herself to unfold with her work.  

A love note on Discovering Kaia, LLC.

If you've been with us from the beginning, you have watched our retreats go from Rewilding to Rewilding with Plant Medicine to Rewild and Rediscover and now Discovering Kaia Retreats.

Not just in all walks of life, but even in something like hosting Retreats, classes, and workshops we are in a constant state of evolution. And being in that constant state of evolution means that there are changes. There are things that we see that work and things that we see that don't work and we need to have the discernment and integrity to recognize what we want to continue further, and what we need to leave behind.

The word Kaia is very special to us.

There are some ancients that believe the word meant from the Earth and others that meant of the sea.

There are some that believe that the word means forgiveness and some that mean rejoice and purity.

We really deeply appreciate the fact that we have been able to experience everything from the teachings of the Earth to the teachings of the Water and everything in between.

We recognize how important it is to use words that encompass what the human experience truly is. Everything and nothing all at the same time. And that is what Kaia does for us.

Kaia is an Energy of the Earth & of the Ocean.

The Magic of the Sun & the Moon.

The Duality of the Light & the Dark.
For those who have been with us since the beginning, we just want to say thank you so much.

And if you’re just finidng us, we hope that you will join us.

And no matter what, we hope that the blessing of Kaia continues to fill your life.

The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.
