Rooted Rebirth
Mentorship Program
A personal development program for people amid big life change,
who are disillusioned by the status quo,
looking for a new path to light them up,
and help create a more dignified world.
"I'm feeling called to a new path
that I can't yet envision..."
A very long chapter in your life is coming to a close, and you are faced with choices about what to create from here.
Meanwhile, the world outside continues to shape-shift into something unrecognizable - and you don't love what you see. In fact, you are disillusioned by it.
Remember this: disillusionment is a map, showing you a new path that both lights you up and guides you into uncharted ways to help birth a more dignified world for the collective.
In this 6-month personal development program, you will get clear about this new path that's calling you.
What you'll explore
Help people sift through all the changes and confusion and questions and fears so they can make sense of where they're at in the personal journey and how that ties into the collective...
Month 1 - What am I walking away from? What fears are showing up for me? What enthusiasm? (2 sessions)
Month 2 - What is causing me the most disillusionment right now and where is that pointing me? Why parts of my culture don’t make sense to me? How can I use that as a map? (4 sessions)
Phase 4 - How is my relationship to power, money, the planet, my body, and my community impacting my own health and the health of the Collective? How can I elevate these relationships? (10 sessions)
Phase 5 - How can I be part of collective solution in a way that invigorates me instead of drains me? (4 sessions)

Meet your Mentor
Amanda Blain is a former Peace Corps volunteer, Clinical Mind-Body Therapist, Trauma Specialist, and NGO Program Coordinator currently working in Guatemala.
From 2012-2013, she met with U.S. lawmakers at state and national levels, hoping to impact preventative health care policy as a Lead Advocate for the Cancer Action Network. She joined the U.S. Peace Corps after meetings in Washington D.C. left her disillusioned by cultural norms that prioritized profit over impact.
While serving in the Peace Corps, Amanda trained with two
award-winning United Nations Consultants and collaborated with the Venda tribe of Limpopo, South Africa, to launch projects in youth leadership, literacy, and food sovereignty.
Amanda has lived and learned from families who grew up under political apartheid in South Africa and in the Middle East.
Here, she was inspired by generations who embody unshakeable resilience, adaptability, and faith in the face of systemic oppression.
In her childhood, Amanda endured multiple adverse events as the daughter of a teen mom. Overcoming trauma and stress-related chronic illness has been a survival necessity for her, which led to her now 17 years of professional experience and studies in Mind-Body Science and Advanced Trauma Support Skills including Dr. Bessel van der Kolk's Traumatic Stress Studies Certificate Program.
From 2016-2020, Amanda led a media project in which she interviewed military veterans about the psychological aftermath of service to promote healing and understanding about the human aspect of war.
Today, she resides on Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, where she supports indigenous-led educational NGOs and works remotely to provide therapeutic support to people from all over the world. Most of her clients report breakthroughs with trauma, stress-related chronic illness, and relationship rupture - even after decades of unsuccessful standardized treatment.
