Dione Cunha
Director & Founder
“You will reflect balance if you have it inside.” |
Dione is living out her life’s dream! This dream did not come by
easily. Two weeks before her 2001 wedding, Dione found a lump in her
breast that turned out to be malignant. After the gruesome ordeal of
chemotherapy, losing her hair, reconstructive breast surgery and the
range of emotions that accompanied it, Dione is grateful for the
cancer that brought her life into balance and started her on her
path to self-fulfillment: Helping others find themselves BEFORE life
forces it on you.
Dione’s gift and one that she has been generously sharing in the
retreats for the last eight years is gratitude: Gratitude for a
second chance at life, gratitude for the love of her husband, family
and friends and gratitude to God for giving her the opportunity to
give back.
Dione received her Yoga Teacher certification from Yoga Bliss in
2006 and has been trained in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). In
2004, she co-authored “You are Not Alone,” relating her experience
through Cancer.
Over the last eight years, Dione has been extensively involved with
The Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation in creating wellness days for
cancer patients. Offered free of charge, the Jennifer Elliot
Wellness Day (named in memory of a dear friend) is a day of various
workshops given by internationally known experts.

The Mandala logo
The Mandala is a fusion of nature and culture, an overlay of
the past, present, and future, a sign of transcendent value,
and spiritual vision in the material world. It is a phenomenon
that is both ancient and contemporary, a conjugation of mind
and body. According to Neil Tetkowski (an artist who works for
mandalas), the “mandala is a human creation of regeneration,
healing and reconciliation - a visual construction for
contemplation that may lead to a heightened state of
awareness.” |
