Who is Divina?

ABOUT ME:

I am a 31 year old woman from Orange County, CA. The desire to create and build a business began at a very young age for me. I started my first “business” when I was 11, creating and selling custom Volcom Stone logo cut outs for my peers. We used them to decorate our binders. My bad Volcom—I had no idea how not cool/illegal that was!! 

Like many people in the spiritual community, something tragic happened in my life that changed who I am entirely as well as my life trajectory. My Aunt Hala passed away unexpectedly and very suddenly. She was like a mother to me. I have a big Egyptian family and it hit us all incredibly hard. It broke me. I’ve never known despair such as that. A couple years prior to her passing she sat me down for a conversation where in she expressed her worry that I didn’t have any clear goals in life. I promised her that I would find my purpose and act on it. DFS is my purpose and it’s the way I plan to fulfill that promise to her.

Before this particular event took place I was a pessimistic atheist, who never thought about personal development. But the last few years of my life have been entirely dedicated to my growth, with an emphasis on spirituality. I quickly found that transcendental mediation was going to play a major role when it comes to uncovering and erasing my limiting beliefs. I remember being utterly shocked at the unconscious, negative chatter taking place on a never ending loop in my mind. That shit had to go! For that reason, we will practice this mediation style daily on DFS Retreats and daily meditation will also be encouraged through DFS Mindset Coaching.

I've been lucky enough to visit Bali a few times in my life and am currently living in Canggu, Bali. Safe to say Bali has my heart and is the perfect place for our first retreat together!
