What we do

Co-founded by Sofiah Thom and Brendan Jaffer, husband and wife for over 15 years. Danyasa was first bulit by Brendan to create a space for Sofiah, his wife to dance and offer her yoga, dance and expressive healing arts retreats and workshops back in 2008, when Dominical was a simple surf town.
Danyasa’s grounds are the home to the original Envision Festival that was sparked and conceived from Brendan and Sofiah’s wedding in 2010.
In 2018 Brendan and Sofiah completed the build out on their 1/2 acre in the heart of Dominical with 12 suites and a gorgeous mermaid pool. Danyasa Eco-Retreat is constructed from up-cycled Shipping containers and we pride ourselves in being as eco-friendly as we can, with using local organic products and soaps and honoring the wonders of nature that surround us.
Our mission is to create a sanctuary for seekers to come home to their bodies, their truth and their inner nature.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
