After over two decades of curating transformative retreats and events worldwide with hundreds of guests gathering to be with visionary thought leaders and educators such as the remarkable Deepak Chopra, I have now planted my roots in the serene coastal forest in North County San Diego. Nestled within this healing sanctuary, spanning three acres of pristine nature and breathtaking scenery, I am dedicated to sharing this restorative space with you.

Eleven years ago, I was in the middle of a divorce, starting a new job, and I was more scared than ever before. I left my three girls at home to have surgery to have my thyroid removed, which was horrifying. When I looked in the mirror afterward—stitches, swelling, a deep purple incision—I felt unrecognizable. I wrapped scarves around my neck and tried to move forward as I started my new job at Deepak Chopra’s Center for Wellbeing.

I put my head down and worked hard, but it was the very first day onsite at an event with Deepak on the stage teaching others to meditate and sharing his deep wisdom in an authentic and profound way that I realized my life was forever changed. I was being called into a life of deeper purpose—one rooted in peace, service, and growth.

That moment became a turning point. I began seeing my health, my body, my mind, and my spirit through a new lens. I committed to absorbing as much as possible and said yes to every opportunity. I learned from the amazing teachers on that stage, the guests at our events, and the incredible team beside me.

Soon after I completed my radiation treatment and tests, I was cleared with a clean slate to live my life with my beautiful daughters. I dove into a holistic approach to my health as I navigated healing and balancing hormone therapy.

I became a certified health Coach, Meditation and Ayurveda instructor, with a Pilates certification and a background in recovery & healing along the way. I dedicated my life and service to creating meaningful experiences for men and women all over the world. With nearly eight years as Director of Events at Chopra Global, I curated transformative meditation, yoga, and Ayurvedic wellness retreats that seamlessly blended large-scale experiences with intimate, personalized guidance. Then my leadership at The Shift Network—overseeing online summits, festivals, and events—honed my ability to distill profound wellness teachings into accessible, impactful lessons that empower individuals to implement meaningful change with immediacy.

Fast forward eleven years to today, and I’m filled with such deep gratitude for this life I’ve created for myself and my family. We now live on a beautiful ranch in Elfin Forest, just four miles east of the roots I planted all those years ago. We have five college kids coming and going, and they fit right in with the three horses and crazy farm crew. I now spend my weekends horseback riding through our stunning hills alongside my husband, meeting a friend for a sunset beach walk, or hosting lively family cooking competitions that celebrate connection and joy (and maybe a little competition too).

Having confronted cancer, surgery, and ongoing challenges from major autoimmune conditions, I have cultivated a life that not only heals but sustains me. Now more than ever it is so clear that people are ready and willing to dive into these practices and lifestyle changes that just even a few years ago would have seemed foreign to them. Seeing the world through my daughters’ eyes and seeing these tools become increasingly accessible to them, it is clear that I need to continue to hold space for this education through exceptional experiences I can create for others.

This deeply personal journey drives my passion for sharing the restorative power of mindfulness and the natural world. I feel most deeply connected with my intuition, energy, angels, and power when I am outdoors in nature. I’m honored to share with you a Women’s Collective and Retreats at our Ranch, a sanctuary dedicated to healing, grounding, community and creativity. I look forward to personally connecting with you and hearing your story. It is when we share our stories, wisdom, and intentions that we can live our life at the highest vibration and do the most good.

With love,

Danielle Haines Angelo
