About Rainya
Rainya grew up on a beautiful farm in Pennsylvania, one of six children. Her father, a Chief Economist and her mother, a mystical Christian, cultivated a strong work ethic, a deep value for love and an understanding of the meaning of “Work is love made visible.”
In college, Rainya studied in India and was deeply touched by its ancient mysticism. After graduating from college, she felt a profound longing to return to India to pursue her study of yoga, meditation, hypnosis, breathwork and personal growth. Her first Hypnosis training in 1979 with Jeru Kabbal who was a superb hypnotist and a mystical dream weaver. She went to Kashmir, India with Kabbal and 75 students for a 4-month residential training in Hypnosis and Spirituality where they lived on houseboats on Dal Lake. They later co-led 3-month residential Hypnosis trainings in Holland and in Oregon. Rainya was the senior teacher at Kabbal’s Institute for De-Hypnosis in California. She also contributed to the “practices” chapters in his book “Finding Clarity.”
In 1988, Rainya co-founded the Dann Institute for Transpersonal Studies in Santa Cruz, CA with her former husband. Together they developed programs in Self-Hypnosis, Inner Child Workshops, Tantra, Breath Workshops, Women’s circles, Yoga classes, Nero-linguistic Programming, Voice Dialogue, as well as offering Hypnosis Certification Trainings. She also taught Hypnosis in Australia, Japan and at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California
Rainya continues to study, learn, grow and honor the Sacred Mysteries of life. She draws great inspiration from her teachers, Eckhart Tolle, Adya Shanti as well as the nurturing power, love and wisdom of the divine feminine within Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi). The Christ Consciousness walks closely with her since early childhood.
She loves her yoga practice, photographing, running in the redwood forest, meditating, and gardening. Her passion is working with the evolution of consciousness in herself and in others. Her spiritual artistry rests in her innate ability to lead others into weaving “the unmanifested” into form. She has the wisdom and professional experience to teach people how to connect with their inner world, ground it in the present, ignite the capacity to envision a bright and fulfilling future. Rainya’s journey has been to use practical tools to dissolve the illusion of separateness and relax into the abiding truth of oneness.
