When Daral left behind her thriving therapy practice to support a new wellness retreat in the remote mountains of Portugal, she expected transformation — for others and for herself. Instead, she found chaos, cultural contrasts, and a devastating wildfire that would change everything. Her journey through physical illness, ecological disaster, and emotional upheaval became more than a story of survival; it became a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to find meaning, even in the ashes.

 

This memoir offers:

• Intimate reflection on trauma and healing

• A vivid exploration of community, place, and transformation

• An eye-opening look at how personal and ecological wounds intersect

 

Perfect for readers of The Body Keeps the Score, Wild, and Under the Sky We Make, this book invites you to question how we support one another when the ground beneath us shifts.
