About this trip

A 5 day immersive & expansive experience in Alaska for 9 women in business, change makers & entrepreneurs.  Rooted in principles of awareness,  empowerment & integration,  we explore all areas of wellness  -  financial, physical, sexual, romantic, spiritual, mental & emotional with trusted coaches, healers & guides.

Coming from generations of emotional suppression & being told putting yourself first is “selfish”, it may seem terrifying to lean into the experience & prioritizing yourself. In a culture dominated by competition, comparison & having to prove yourself constantly it may seem unnatural to believe in the power of pausing & taking the time to invest in your growth.

This transformative experience fuels a fundamental shift in the way we live & lead, with sustainable tools that you take with you no matter where you go.

We want to show you that a new level of freedom and capability is possible when we break the pattern by being aware of our imprints & choosing consciously. 

You are ready for this. Trust yourself. We can’t wait to see who emerges from inside you after joining us!

MY STORY

Hi! I'm Neha Molugu - Born & raised in Hyderabad, India, I consider myself a global citizen having lived in 5 continents and traveled to more than 40 countries. As a little girl growing up in India, I could never have imagined that my life would be one day rooted in so much freedom and alignment. 

It wasn’t always this way though. 

Growing up, I was what you call an INSECURE OVERACHIEVER.

  • I doubted myself, had low self worth & felt like a fraud (imposter syndrome anyone?) even though I made it to the best schools in the world on scholarships (INSEAD, Shriram college of commerce) & was working at fortune 500 companies (Google, L'Oreal, ABINBEV) globally - Paris, NewYork, Singapore, China & India . "I'm sure I just got lucky"
  • I was in romantic relationships with emotionally unavailable men, had poor boundaries and seeked external validation to feel beautiful even though I am 5'8 with dusky skin, have a kickass personality & a 1000 watt smile. "Why would he date me? Why isn't he texting me back? I’m sure I said something wrong.." “Let me take care of your needs first..”
  • I didn't accept my body as the beauty it is, treated it with disrespect and wanted what someone else had and I felt really uncomfortable talking about my sexual needs with my romantic partners or even my girlfriends. "Only if my boobs were bigger.." "Umm..can and should women experience orgasms?"
  • I struggled with anger, impatience & erratic mood swings - my unhealthy coping mechanism was food   . "I had a terrible day, a pizza or two will make it all better! "
  • I felt stuck and didn't feel purpose or passion... “ What am I here on this planet to do?” “What is I don’t have a purpose?”
  • I found money, finances or investment overwhelming and daunting and felt stupid for not knowing what to do.. “Investing seems sooo complicated!! And living with a budget sounds so suffocating!”

I was surely not living a life of my highest potential and alignment. I was aware of that. But then, what I didn’t know was how to help myself or how to move onto a path of balance & alignment. Whom do you trust to help you with such insecurities & vulnerabilities without feeling judged? 

Over the years, I have tried multiple self awareness tools from reading books to traveling the world, from counseling therapy to Ayahuasca. From spiritual retreats to leadership trainings. From personal health coaching to energy healing. IKIGAI journals to theta healing. There is no ONE way to heal and step into your power but what I have found is this..

  1. Nature & Travel ground you & help you find your inner voice
  2. Finding a coach whom you can trust ; who inspires & guides you with love is unparallelly the most important investment you could make for yourself
  3. A safe & supportive community holds you accountable to make sustainable changes
  4. After each healing experience, having concrete practical tools & education to integrate into your daily life is critical
  5. Growth & healing is a continuous process & we have to start from wherever we are without judgement and face our fears 

So, I created ANARA (which means powerful & complete) bringing together those tools, coaches & lessons that have brought me to where I stand today!  My vision is to create transformative experiences to support other women step into their power and experience a lifestyle rooted in empowerment, freedom & alignment. 

Everything here helped me get to where I am today and I want to share that with you!!

It was truly life changing. Neha and Cristiane were compassionate, kind, and considerate. They knew what we’d need before we did, and always had a plan if things were guided by the weather. I can’t wait to see what the next retreat has in store!
