Dana is from Athens, TN. Brought to the center by her now husband, she immediately felt very connected and that it was what she had been searching for. A few years after her initial introduction to CFP, Dana felt the call to serve. She loves serving in the kitchen and creating mues that cater to individual needs. Her first dance was the 5th Dragon Dance of Creation. Dana is “so excited for the future and what this is and what it becomes,” and also “excited to help hold space for other people and find myself back in the arbor again.” In her free time, she enjoys cooking, sewing, and traveling.   What's a product or service you'd like to show.

"I have been a part of CFP since 1996, for I was born into the Robinson family as the eldest of Jeanne and Perry's grandsons. Joseph Rael "Beautiful Painted Arrow" knew I was special before I was even born, for he made the rare decision to grant me my native name prior to my first sight of the world. Joseph knew that I was to be introduced as "Pah Hula Mehu," or "Shooting Star". Later that year, at five months old, Joseph Rael "Beautiful Painted Arrow" blessed me during the Sun Moon Dance by bringing me to the center pole/tree signifying the start of my spiritual journey.  What's something exciting your business offers? Say it here. Isaac both dances and supports dances, he fire tends and drums.
