Two educators who believe conversation changes everything.
Melissa Daniels and Tenaya Wave bring decades of teaching experience — international and local — into the retreats you host.
Shared mission
For four years, Melissa and Tenaya have co-led conversation work in McCall and beyond — designed to foster genuine dialogue, active listening, and real human connection. We bring this work into your retreat.
Co-founder
Melissa Daniels
Melissa has spent more than 20 years helping people learn, grow, and connect — both in the U.S. and around the world.
Her journey has taken her from American International Schools in Kuwait and Argentina to her home in McCall, where she now runs a boutique tutoring company supporting students in the Middle East.
She holds a Master's in Education from George Fox University and a B.A. from Santa Clara University. At the heart of her work is a love for meaningful conversation and creating spaces where people feel seen and heard.
Co-founder
Tenaya Wave
Tenaya is a spirited educator with more than two decades of teaching experience in California and Idaho. She earned her B.A. from UC Santa Cruz and her M.A. from Boise State University.
After moving to McCall, one unforgettable local gathering ignited her passion for bringing people together through meaningful conversation. Her work is infused with warmth and curiosity — helping people slow down, listen deeply, and engage with one another in more authentic ways.
At the heart of it is a belief that when people feel safe to speak and truly heard, something meaningful begins to shift.
