The Circle of Life:
A Sacred Community for Healers, Therapists & Coaches
You give so much of yourself to others. But who fills your cup?
The Circle of Life is your sanctuary for authentic connection, spiritual growth, and replenishment. Inspired by the ancient goddess festival of Navratri, where seekers circle around the radiant lamp of awakening, this is your gathering place to reignite your inner flame—and live and serve from overflow.
Embark Upon Your Spiritual Hero’s Journey
Rooted in the 9-step transformational path of The Way of the Goddess (8-time award-winning book by Ananta Ripa Ajmera), this community supports you to evolve, heal, and expand your impact—without burning out.
"I very highly recommend Ananta's book, The Way of the Goddess. It has a lot of very practical wisdom that we desperately need in this world right now, torn with violence, mechanized death, social and economic injustice, chronic disease, mental illness, and total absence of joy. I think that anyone and everyone, male or female, can benefit from this beautiful book. I plan to go back and read it again."
— Dr. Deepak Chopra, world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and New York Times bestselling author
Watch My Interview with Dr. Deepak Chopra on the Spiritual Hero’s Journey
Dear Fellow Practitioner,
This journey of awakening began in the fire of betrayal.
When the teachers I trusted failed to embody what they taught, their lack of integrity, humility, and commitment to personal evolution became my catalyst. I realized I had to become the change I wished to see in the world of spiritual teachers.
Like the garba around the radiant lamp of Navratri, each step brought me closer to my inner light. And now, The Circle of Life exists to support you on your own path of awakening.
My healing required everything I could find—martial arts training, acupuncture, Ayurveda, Yoga, Vedanta, Human Design, Akashic Records, and hypnotherapy to rewire my subconscious.
I became a devoted student of life itself, moving in circles of learning and practice that lit the path of my own inner lamp.
Through this journey, I discovered that the eighth step of the spiritual hero's journey in The Way of the Goddess—the Power of Rejuvenation—is not just theory. It is the living practice of accessing an eternal fountain of youth, joy, and vitality.
This light keeps our cups overflowing, allowing us to lead, serve, and shine with full integrity—the ultimate purpose of any spiritual hero's journey.
Along the way, I noticed something heartbreaking: many healers, therapists, and coaches become isolated. They lose the very medicine they need most—community, humility, and ongoing spiritual growth.
My heart went out to my own teachers when I realized they too had been caught in this common struggle—one that affects so many in healing capacities.
This recognition ignited my calling to create a solution for what I saw was a widespread need in our community.
But I also discovered something beautiful: when we commit to healing ourselves fully, we gain the freedom to create lives of true fulfillment—with healthy boundaries, flexible schedules, the ability to work from anywhere, and the deep satisfaction of serving others while continually deepening our own growth.
From the laboratory of my own living experience, The Circle of Life is my offering to you: the soul-nourishing community I once wished for myself.
A sanctuary where we grow together—moving in circles of connection, rooted in integrity, and held in authentic support with peers who truly get us—while building the life of freedom, purpose, and radiant impact you’ve always dreamed of.
I invite you to join me in experiencing this fullness, to give from a full cup.
With reverence for your calling,
Ananta Ripa Ajmera
Your Soul Sanctuary Awaits
You became a healer to serve others and make a meaningful difference. But who fills your cup? Perhaps you've been pouring from an empty vessel, feeling isolated in your work, yearning for a way to receive the same quality of care you constantly give others.
This isn't another commitment—it's your low-investment, high-return sanctuary. A nourishing space where the more you invest of yourself, the more profoundly you'll evolve into the most radiant healer, coach, and human you're meant to be.
The Hidden Struggles of Those Who Heal
The Implementation Gap
You know what to do but struggle with consistent execution of your own practices and business growth goals
Marketing Resistance
Traditional self-promotion feels inauthentic and aggressive—completely misaligned with your spiritual values
Your Healing Takes a Backseat
Your own journey, growth, and healing often get pushed aside as you prioritize the needs of those you serve—leaving you feeling depleted and burnt out
Professional Isolation
Working alone leaves you craving like-minded community and perspectives from other healing modalities
These struggles drain your energy, dim your light, and keep you from living the life of freedom, integrity, and radiant service you’re called to embody.
If this resonates with you, the next step is to explore how the Circle of Life can support you on your unique journey.
We’ve designed it as a living, breathing community that meets you where you are—helping you refill your cup, deepen your practice, and step into meaningful impact. To guide you along this path, we created three intentional circles, each reflecting a stage of transformation:
Three Circles, One Transformational Journey
-
Circle of Wisdom
Where kindred souls gather, share insights, and awaken together—like hands joined in a circle, supporting one another as we remember truth.
-
Circle of Life
Where wisdom becomes daily practice, lighting your inner lamp and guiding you in the laboratory of your own life—like glowing lamps illuminating your path.
-
Circle of Impact
Where your full cup lights the way for others, inspiring them to discover their own inner light—like dancers circling around a radiant flame, sharing energy and joy.
The Circle of Wisdom
Medicinal Storytelling Circles
War stories are recollections of trauma and pain we've experienced. Medicinal stories are those where pain and trauma may be recounted, but the purpose of sharing is to zone in on what you learned from each challenge and how it supported your hero's journey. This helps you embody the courage and conviction you need to stand fully in the power of your own work and feel a profound sense of connection amongst those called to similar paths as you. These sessions follow the monthly themes of The Way of the Goddess book's 9-chakra journey.
As one practitioner shared: "Ananta saw within me a light I had dulled. She reached out to that light. She comforted that light. She empowered that light to shine. I began to speak. I began to write. I began to share."

The Healing Roundtable
This experience was born out of my time as Director of Ayurveda at THE WELL, an integrative wellness center where collaboration across healing modalities was the norm. Here, practitioners would sit together and analyze patient case studies. But what was missing was a space to bring our own struggles to the table. As healers, we carry not only the pain of those we serve, but also the weight of our own unresolved challenges. The Healing Roundtable gives us that space — a place to be witnessed, to connect, learn from one another and heal together. 90 minutes monthly via Zoom, following monthly themes from The Way of the Goddess book's 9-chakra journey.
Value: $1,200/year
Member-Led Workshops
Share your expertise in front of the community—an organic way to showcase your gifts while allowing you to also explore different modalities. Open to Circle of Life and Circle of Impact members to lead, and for all Circle of Wisdom members to attend. This becomes fertile ground for collaboration, cross-referrals, and organic marketing, allowing people to discover you naturally and benefit from your gifts.

Your Investment: FREE
The Circle of Wisdom is my open, ongoing community space for therapists, coaches, and healers who want to continue growing while supporting each other in nourishing connection. I understand that budgets can be tight, and never want any sincere soul feeling called to help others to be without wisdom, support, and guidance.
However, I keep my Circle of Wisdom community to a high standard of integrity and invite in only practitioners committed to becoming the highest version of themselves. Therefore, while there is no cost to join this community, you will be interviewed to ensure that your values and mission align with those of our community.
Here you'll discover what one member beautifully described: "There is a nearly tangible aura of love and acceptance shared here."

What Makes Our Community Sacred Medicine
Community as Medicine
Healing happens in relationship—experience the medicine of being truly seen and supported by soul-aligned peers. As one member shared: "The way Ananta structured the program allowed the students to become 'community buddies' and support each other while we're learning, we became each others' cheerleaders."
Full Cup Philosophy
You can’t pour from an empty cup—here, you receive the same quality of care and wisdom you offer others. As one practitioner reflected after finding his soul tribe: "I feel the most content I have ever felt."
Sacred Reciprocity
Give and receive within a container of practitioners who match your values, depth, and commitment to service.
Soul-Aligned Support
Connect with healers who understand your spiritual path and can offer guidance from their own deep practice. Members describe it as learning from someone who "is true to the traditions of their teachings, and who authentically shares their whole self with you."
Flexible Sacred Space
This is not another heavy responsibility or obligation—it’s a sanctuary you can return to again and again for nourishment, inspiration, and reprieve from daily stress. There is no required commitment for the Circles of Wisdom or Life, only the freedom to engage as you feel called.
What our community members say:
Nathan Medlock, Award-winning Hospital Professional and Yoga Teacher, Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
"I would recommend being part of this spiritual membership community with Ananta and her team, because the topics shared are life-changing, from the inside out. There is a nearly tangible aura of love and acceptance shared amongst her and her contemporaries as well as with the students in her classes. Despite the large and vast ocean of knowledge that can appear daunting at first, the offerings are structured very clearly, the communication about what is expected is exact, and the immersion into each topic is easily digestible to the human intellect. Ananta can be described as truly embodying her work. She naturally radiates a caring, wise, and loving aura. She clearly has a deep mastery of her teachings and from the moment you begin taking her classes, you will be receiving knowledge. The understanding and scholarly communication of Ananta is matched by her compassion and humility. You can tell Ananta sincerely cares about her students and their ability to process and effectively practice what she teaches."
Shweta Bhatt, Storyteller and Former Business Consultant, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
"Ananta saw within me a light I had dulled. She reached out to that light. She comforted that light. She empowered that light to shine. I began to speak. I began to write. I began to share. I declared myself the artist, the poet, and the storyteller that I am. Ananta’s heart and vision are supplemented through the team of people and the intention through which she connects us all. This team, this program is a community, it is a garden. The fragrance of each person mesmerizes alone but surrenders itself to the much greater melody of the garden as a whole. Ananta and her team redefine love, wholeheartedly seeing each individual and holding the stories of each sacred."
Cherry Mangat, Former Wellness Program Director, Tennessee, USA
"Finding the right teachers on our journey of healing can be very impactful. Learn from someone that you trust, who is true to the traditions of their teachings, and who authentically shares their whole self with you. I was lucky to find all this with my Ayurveda teacher, Ananta. The universe brought her to me at a time when I was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and deep grief.
Ananta comes from generations of Ayurvedic healers in India, where she has spent many years learning about this spiritual science. She teaches from a space of experience, gratitude, and understanding of how we learn in modern-day society.
It accelerated my physical, emotional, and spiritual healing SO much to have this ancient knowledge brought to me. And to meet a community of beautiful souls all over the world, led by Ananta."

As Seen In
Community members’ life changing stories:
“I was seeking a practical guide to help me with my health issues after being diagnosed with chronic Leukemia. My search led me to Ananta Ripa Ajmera. When I signed up for her program, I didn’t realize this program would shift my thinking, and my approach to life in a profound way. I recommend anyone wishing to take control of your physical and mental health, to give this program a try. The way Ananta structured the program, allowed the students to become “community buddies” and support each other while we’re learning, we became each others’ cheerleaders. Being part of this community has been a transformational experience for me, as it has given me the tools and spirituality to not only understand myself as a physical being but also as a spiritual being. Once I was able to make the connection to my Higher Self, I learned to respect my body in a way I have never done before. This mental change made it easier for me to add Ayurveda practices to my everyday life consistently and reap the benefits. My digestion has improved, I have mental clarity and most importantly I have peace of mind.”
- SUGANTHI LEM
Senior Construction & Public Transportation Manager, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
“Not only did Ananta's empowering approach to teaching strengthen me personally, but being part of her program also connected me with a beautiful family of light she created, which has become my soul tribe. Most of us are not connected by blood but we are by our souls, by our positive vibrations and our desire to seek light and the highest truth within ourselves. I feel the most content I have ever felt.”
- NACHI CHOPRA
Business Transformation Leader and Emotional Intelligence Enthusiast, New Jersey, USA
“Ananta has a pure devotional heart and is a true spiritual aspirant, genuinely living what she teaches, which is really important thing for me in choosing a teacher. It is an honor to be a part of of this program and to learn alongside a truly beautiful and wise community of people from all over. I highly recommend this program for everyone and anyone who wants to truly learn and embody the authentic teachings of Ayurveda, make loving changes in lifestyle, habits, food & nutrition and radical self care for all five senses and layers of Self.”
