The Root to Rise Method

The Root to RISE Method is a transformative framework that guides women leaders through a complete energetic awakening.
Your transformation begins even before you arrive in Costa Rica. Four weeks prior, you'll be guided through our proprietary Root to RISE Method:




R.I.S.E.
Reawakening, Inner, Strength, Everyday represents the journey from dormancy to full embodiment of your authentic power.



Step 1: The process begins by Reawakening dormant wisdom and intuitive gifts that have been overshadowed by societal expectations and professional demands.

Step 2: Moving inward, you’ll establish a renewed Inner connection to your essential self—the woman beneath the roles and achievements.

Step 3: As this connection deepens, you’ll reclaim your personal Strength, accessing power that flows not from hustle or external validation but from authentic alignment with your truth.

Step 4: Finally, the method provides practical tools for Everyday integration, ensuring these profound insights become embodied practices that transform your leadership, relationships, and self-connection.




Unlike conventional leadership development, Root to RISE works through multiple modalities—sacred plant medicine, energy work, somatic practices, breathwork, and nature immersion—creating a multidimensional transformation.

This method acknowledges that true feminine leadership emerges not from adopting masculine power structures but from women reconnecting with their innate wisdom, embracing both divine feminine and masculine energies in harmony.




A Thoughtfully Curated Experience
The Root to RISE retreat isn’t merely an event — it’s a comprehensive journey that begins long before you arrive in Costa Rica and continues well after you return. We’ve designed a thorough process to ensure profound transformation and lasting integration.

PHASE 1: MUTUAL DISCOVERY
Your journey begins with our thoughtful selection process, designed to create the perfect container of eight aligned women leaders.
1. Intention Setting Application: Share your journey and what calls you to this transformation.
2. Personal Connection Call: A private video consultation with Laura and Kimberly to explore alignment between your aspirations and our approach.
3. Sacred Agreement: Mutual commitment to your transformation and the collective container.
 
PHASE 2: PREPARING THE SOIL
Once accepted we begin the essential groundwork for your transformation.
1. In-depth Intake Process: A comprehensive exploration of your history, patterns, and intentions.
2. Vision Activation Session: Two private 1:1 coaching calls with Laura and Kimberly to clarify your deepest intentions and prepare energetically for the journey ahead.
3.Customized Preparation: Personalized guidance based on your unique needs and leadership context.
 
PHASE 3: BUILDING TRUST AND INTIMACY
Four-weeks before arriving in Costa Rica, your transformation journey begins with our exclusive group activation process:

1. Introduction to the AROSA Root to Rise Method: Your first immersion into this powerful framework of energy mastery with your retreat sisters.

2. Connection to Self, Other, and Your Wisdom: Ignite the transformation process through somatic practices, sisterhood, and the powerful energy channels of the body.

3.Retreat Preparation: Begin the profound inner exploration that prepares you for this powerful immersion.

 
PHASE 4: SUSTAINED TRANSFORMATION
True transformation requires integration. Your Root to Rise experience extends beyond your time in Costa Rica to include:

1. Group Integration: Reconnect with your retreat sisters 30 days post immersion to witness and hold space for ongoing transformation.

2. Individual Leadership Integration: Two private coaching sessions to:

Anchor your insights into daily leadership practices
Establish powerful new boundaries
Translate felt experiences into conscious choices
Harmonize your energy for maximum impact

3. Advanced Leadership Embodiment: For leaders committed to profound transformation, we offer an option to continue with 3-6 months of supported integration (additional investment).
We invite you to book a Sacred Journey Consultation with us by visiting our website at www.anandalodgecr.com.

This Transformation Journey is for:



Women Ready to Invest in themselves at the highest level, recognizing that their transformation ripples out to everyone they lead and influence
Those Ready for a Second Mountain who have conquered society's definition of success and now seek their own authentic definition
C-Suite Executives and Senior Leaders who have achieved career success but sense something essential is missing in their leadership approach or personal fulfillment
Accomplished Womenwho find themselves at a pivotal crossroads—having mastered external achievements but yearning for deeper purpose and connection
Visionary Female Leaders who intuitively sense that integrating feminine wisdom with their leadership would create more sustainable impact
Women on the Edge of Burnout who recognize their current path is unsustainable and are ready to discover a more aligned way of leading and living
Influential Change-Makers seeking to evolve their leadership from a place of authentic power rather than masculine paradigms of control
Leaders Curious About Expanded States who are open to plant medicine and energetic practices as catalysts for profound transformation
Female Founders and Entrepreneurs who want to lead their organizations from heart-centered wisdom while maintaining powerful boundaries
Women Craving Sacred Connection with other high-achieving females who understand the unique challenges of leadership positions





Beyond Convention Leadership Development

For high-achieving women executives, psilocybin offers a revolutionary pathway to leadership transformation that transcends conventional development approaches. Unlike traditional executive coaching, psilocybin temporarily disrupts the brain’s default mode network, breaking through entrenched patterns that have resisted years of cognitive approaches. This creates access to subconscious wisdom buried beneath layers of professional conditioning, allowing for rapid transformation in areas where progress has stalled despite numerous.


The heart healing dimension proves equally valuable for women in leadership positions. The guided psilocybin experience helps release the emotional armor often developed to succeed in male-dominated environments while healing unconscious childhood patterns that manifest as people-pleasing, overworking, or boundary challenges.

Perhaps most critically for sustainable high performance, psilocybin effectively resets an overtaxed nervous system from years of corporate stress and “always on” leadership demands. Studies indicate reduced cortisol levels that contribute to executive burnout, alongside improved sleep quality essential for peak cognitive performance.

When experienced in a structured, safe environment designed specifically for high-performing women who value excellence, this evidence-based approach combines ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience for maximum benefit.

The professionalism and the patience of Jay Kim and there staff is outstanding.
As one of the host for the Design your life yoga retreat I always felt comfortable to share our vision and it was recieved with no judgment.
Our guest also felt very comfortable asking questions to both Jay and the chefs , Jonathan & Mary who are magic ! We had quit a few dietary concerns . Bless them they made all of our bellies very happy.
Describing every meal with such beautiful presentation and if you wanted seconds or thrids in my case on pasta night ( sooo good)it wasn't a problem.
We enjoyed a sound bath with Kim in the maloka that had everyone looking forward to wrapping themselves up in the vey comfortable beds for a good night's sleep.
The cleaning staff and security did an amazing job , when you are visiting the jungle you should be prepared to find some if it's lovely creatures. From frogs to monkeys and such beautiful brids 😀

Incredible Retreat Venue
We had such a beautiful time hosting at Ananda Lodge. We brought 12 women to lead a 5 day yoga/therapy retreat. From the beginning Jay and Kim were incredibly supportive and communicative. The rooms were beautiful and the yoga shala/maloca was a dream to teach in.
The food was out of this world, chefs Jonathan and Mary created dishes with love and intention. Every meal was a hit with our guests. Jay helped us arrange excursions so we got to explore surfing, zipling and a sunset cruise. We would love to bring more groups and guests in the future.

Very glad I found Ananda
Kimberly and Jason have created a unique and wonderful oasis with Ananda Lodge. They are honoring and carrying forward the traditions of plant medicine from Peru that I have come to know and cherish over the last 20 years. Mary and Jonathon tirelessly create dish after delicious dish of healthy food that comes from the heart and feeds the soul.

Our fearless Huachumara, Nikki, is an amazing guide and spirit to work with both in and out of ceremony. The work that Nikki did with our group was healing and truly special. I am honored to have gone through ceremonies with her and would certainly to do so again and highly recommend her to others.

Life Changing
I started searching online for a retreat when I realized I was being called to try healing plant medicine. As soon as I found Ananda Lodge and began reading through their material I knew it was the right place. That intuition was completely validated every step of the way. The owners, Kimberly and J. are loving, patient and respectful. They have built a beautiful safe space to heal and grow. I feel more alive, joyful, grateful and full of love than I have in my entire life. The Hauchumera, Nikki, is another genuine, caring person that comes to serve Hauchuma at Ananda. She has lived in Peru, where the Hauchuma cactus grows, for seven or eight years. She has a profound respect for the medicine and is a genuine, caring human who is an excellent guide for those she serves.
Last, but certainly not least, Mary and Jonathan are also an important part of the Ananda Lodge experience. They are both eager to help you in any way they can. They prepare delicious, fresh, healthy meals three times a day for you and your fellow new friends and are also believers in the power of plant medicine.
I could write pages and pages about the revelations that came to me over the course of the 7 day retreat, but will try to capture the essence in saying it shows you what is truly important in life, how we are all connected to one another, the planet, all living things on the planet and that everything comes from an infinite flowing river of love. For me I realized I had been living in mild fear, anxiety, confusion and distraction. I hope to keep move forward with the renewed mindset of what truly makes us happy: spending time with those we love, doing the things we love, being in nature, helping others and taking care of our planet, its inhabitants, our bodies, minds and spirits.
This place is special. These people are special. Go if you are being called. They are the real deal. Couldn't be happier with my choice!
