Welcome!

Hello, there, dear friend!

Welcome to the Garden! I’m Dawna Kreis, caretaker, and your hostess.

About the Garden

When I first started this space, I thought it was “mine.” Since then, I’ve let go of my human ego and realized that I’m merely its caretaker.

It has an energy all its own as well as intentions separate from my own.

The Garden intends to be a refuge for human souls battered by the experience of life. It is a space in which they can rest and recharge for a while. It is a place from which they can derive solace as well as tools, techniques, and strategies for living more peacefully, abundantly, and joyfully throughout their human experience.

And much like a Cottage Garden, this space encompasses many different and (sometimes) varying things, but each contributes to an overall thing of beauty.

Here you will find:

  • Angel Wisdom: Information about the Archangels and how to work with them. (VIP Subscribers are welcome and encouraged to ask questions, which I happily answer in my Ask the Angels feature.)

  • The Trail Diaries: Sharings how I have applied aspects of conscious and intentional living in my own life.

  • My Secret Garden is where I take a deeper dive into some of the tools, techniques, and other subject matter I share in the Garden.

  • Information about the Earth and Moon cycles and how you can best utilize the energies to nurture your own life.

  • Each week, I do a weekly card reading for the community.

  • I have also re-released some meditations that I produced in the past. (I’m in the process of finding some time and space to produce more in the future.)

About Dawna: the Caretaker

I’m a mom of 3 incredible human beings and “Nana” to 2. I’m a (retired) military spouse and have been married to DH for over 30+ years now.

I like knitting, crocheting, reading, and writing. I go out with friends and other loved ones from time to time, but I’m really something of a homebody.

What I REALLY LOVE, though, is when DH and I can take our “home on wheels” out into nature and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Next year, though, we’ll hit the road full-time. I can’t wait!

I’m a writer, intuitive, energy healer, and "Joyologist."

However, I prefer “anam cara,” which roughly translates to “soul friend,” because that’s what I am, and that’s what I seek to “do” in the world. Be a soul friend to others, to you!

In addition, I’m also something of a “gadget girl.” At least, that’s what DH likes to call me. I like tech! It comes relatively quickly to me. Though, you won’t find me on as many platforms these days as I’ve frequented in the past. Admittedly, I was a “kid in a candy store”! These days, I’m pretty much sticking to my Garden Community on Facebook, YouTube, and here on Substack.

Here, I shared some of my favorite things

If you resonate with me, I would love the opportunity to connect with you!

Until next time our paths cross, take care!
