Hello, I’m Danya. Welcome to a digital garden of my research and ideas, unfolding over time. It’s a bit of a mess, but a garden is to be shared, so it is open for wandering!
- My primary interests are in accessible health modalities and building sustainable and resilient communities.
- I offer holistic health counseling primarily informed by Sowa Rigpa (Himalayan science of healing), reiki, and the enneagram. I am also a qigong teacher in the Limitless Gate Daoist qigong lineage and a meditation practice leader in the Tergar meditation community.

Foxgloves (1909) by Nikolai Astrup depicts a lush, forested landscape with birch trees and pink foxglove flowers. A small stream runs through the woods, surrounded by rocks and greenery and grazing cows.
Further interests…
- communication and group dynamics: how these facilitate and can be challenging aspects of community living and collaborative projects
- universal basic services—how providing a baseline of human needs can enable greater health and flourishing.
- car-free cities and towns & human-scale community design.
- liturgies for modern times: how do we cultivate rituals that speak to us today, that help cultivate connection and meaning?
- anarchism in everyday life: how to enable the practice of mutual aid in our day-to-day lives.
Here’s what i’m up to now.

P.S. A note about this site
This is a work in progress, like all of life. I’m cultivating this site day by day. Broken links likely mean something hasn’t been made public yet, but it hopefully will be soon!
