Initiations as Transition Points in Life | ABOUT DENA

Let me tell you about the time my brain exploded...

I learned along the way that all healing requires a bit of science, a bit of faith, and willingness to explore who we really are.

This is a story about depth, stress, trauma and a reflection on a challenge in life. More importantly, it is a story about a moment of transformation while experiencing what it is to be human.

Who are you, and what is life asking of you?
