When Donna was completing her graduate degree, she became part of a women's circle at a local church and discovered the power of women's spirituality and goddess archetypes to nurture and inspire women. Using her academic training, she reexamined the Greek myths and did extensive research in the fields of archeology, history, psychology, and western literature as well as eastern studies, yoga, native studies, and the wise woman tradition to create a unique teaching style which leads women to discover, understand, and explore the goddess within and without. Donna works deeply with goddess archetypes of the maiden, the mother, the wise woman, and the crone, cycles of the moon and sun, and creating an individual and unique feminine-centered practice of spirituality that leads to nurturance, empowerment, and growth.
