A guide for the journey inward.

Donna walks alongside those that are ready to stop circling the surface and begin the deeper work - the work that changes everything.

Donna Jean Raines

Who this is for

You've done the reading. You've been to the workshops. You know something deeper is waiting.

You're not looking for another quick fix or a 5-step program. You're looking for a guide who has actually done the work — who has sat in the fire and come out changed.

Donna has spent decades in that fire. As a yoga teacher with 1000+ hours of training, a kirtan singer, author, and retreat leader, she teaches from lived experience — not theory.

Her work is for the ones who are serious. The ones who are ready.

The Book

Sacred 40

A 40-Day Journey of Transformation

Sacred 40 is not a self-help book. It is a companion for the journey — forty days of practice, reflection, and honest reckoning with who you are and who you are becoming. Drawn from Donna Jean's years of teaching and her own transformative path, this book meets you exactly where you are.
