About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Meet Ananda:
Born in the heart of Central America, Ananda carries the wisdom of the ancestral lands in every aspect of their work. As a compassionate space holder and transformational leader, they weave together traditional practices, spiritual insight, and modern methodologies to guide others on their path to healing and self-discovery.
With a deep connection to the sacred energy of Lake Atitlán and the rich Mayan traditions of their heritage, Ananda creates spaces that feel both grounding and expansive. Their work is centered on fostering connection— to self, to others, and to the natural world—helping individuals uncover their authentic truth and embrace their innate power.
Ananda’s Expertise Includes:
Sacred Ceremonies: Drawing from Mayan traditions, Ananda facilitates cacao ceremonies and fire rituals that open the heart and invite transformation.
Embodiment Practices: Blending somatic techniques with mindfulness, she supports participants in reconnecting with their bodies and emotions.
Inner Work Facilitation: Through workshops and guided sessions, Ananda helps individuals navigate their inner landscape, releasing old patterns and stepping into growth.
Community Leadership: Ananda’s warm and inclusive presence fosters a sense of belonging, trust, and safety within the retreat circle.
Philosophy
Ananda believes that healing happens in the presence of community, nature, and sacred intention. They are passionate about holding space for others to process, release, and align with their highest selves, empowering them to embody the life they were meant to live.
