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.

Autumn PDC 2017 Greece, Tinos Island

Autumn 2017 Permaculture Design Course 23 September – 5 October (12 days, 80 hours certificate) Led by Andrew Jordan and Elena Symeonidou We are excited to announce the second FULL PERMACULTURE DESIGN COURSE (PDC) that will be hosted in Tinos Eco-lodge with two knowledgeable teachers Andrew Jordan from Ireland and Elena Symeonidou from Greece. The Permaculture Design Certificate The Permaculture Design Certificate is an 80 hour theoretical course based on Bill Mollison’s Designers Manual, teaching how we can use today’s tools and technology to create a more sustainable world. Permaculture is not only about growing vegetables and animals, it is a whole sustainable lifestyle. Permaculture ethics are Earth Care, People Care and Return of Surplus and this is taught by showing students to focus on local resources and their local community, and to have well thought out design practices to create abundance sustainably. Andrew and Elena aim at inspiring students with their own very real examples of transforming their lives with permaculture in a contemporary context. Having worked in a broad spectrum of climate and social conditions, they will share with their students the thrills but also the challenges they faced. Oftentimes permaculture is being presented as a panacea for world problems and the road to resilience and abundance is depicted as straightforward and easy. Andrew and Elena will challenge this notion and try to prepare their students in a realistic manner for their own fascinating journey towards change. Nikos will share his hands-on experience of building the ecolodge and designing the energy, water, plant and waste systems. We will have the rare opportunity to discuss and elaborate on Nikos’ and Marilia’s choices on different aspects of their project, reflect on the challenges, opportunities and limitations. Anyone who wants to bring a big change in his life and gain a thorough understanding of how we can use our natural e
