Holding Space for Transformation.
Where Care Meets Calling
I’m Bobby Ansari, an internationally recognized consultant in spiritual wellness, spiritual and sacred travel and transformational retreats. I help individuals, leaders, and organizations integrate deep spiritual care practices into their lives and work—unlocking purpose, resilience, and holistic well-being.
As a Certified Spiritual Care Professional, a Certified Wellness Professional with the Wellness Alliance and a graduate of Johns Hopkins University’s Institute for Medicine and Spirituality, I bring over a decade of advanced training in cultural psychiatry and soul-centered wellness.
My work is informed by ancient spiritual wisdom with contemporary therapeutic approaches. Raised in a Bengali Muslim home, I was immersed in the teachings of Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, and Buddhism. This foundation led to immersive spiritual learning across the globe—from studying under a direct student of the renown German mystic Rudolf Steiner in Cappadocia, Turkey, to receiving teachings and studying under Mohawk and Hopi Elders in North America. I’ve had the rare privilege of engaging with spiritual leaders such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of the Greek Orthodox Church, grounding my work in authentic, lived spiritual experience.
I specialize in guiding people through spiritual trauma recovery, C-PTSD healing, maternal wound work, and sacred site travel. Whether arranging sweat lodges, curating sacred retreats, guiding personal pilgrimages or ceremonies to sacred spaces, offering private spiritual assessments or offering one-to-one spiritual wellness consultation, my mission is clear: to help you reconnect with your inner compass and transform your pain into clarity and purpose. As one of the few global practitioners dedicated exclusively to spiritual wellness as a professional discipline and developing and understanding spiritual wellness and sacred travel, I offer a unique and holistic approach that combines trauma-sensitive care, interfaith knowledge, and the power of sacred rituals to support profound transformation.
I help people reconnect with their inner compass. I’m here to hold space for transformation—compassionately, courageously, and always in service to your sacred becoming.

My Core Values
Authenticity
honest, real, transparent, integrity-driven, spiritually fluent.
I prioritize truth over trend. My work is grounded in lived experience, interfaith fluency, and trauma-informed care. I honor your story and meet you where you are—with transparency, respect, and sincerity.
Inner healing, change, empowerment, personal breakthrough, integration.
I specialize in spiritual transformation—not as a fleeting “retreat high,” but as a deep and lasting shift. My personalized journeys are designed to help you resurrect the parts of yourself that feel lost, broken, or buried.
Transformation & Integration
Illumination
Insight, wisdom, clarity, self-knowledge, spiritual intelligence
I believe real power comes from within—when you truly see yourself. My goal is to help you gain insight, clarity, and direction, so you can move forward with vision and purpose.
Qualified care, certified, professional, culturally respectful, trustworthy.
I hold myself and my work to the highest standards. Every recommendation, assessment, and partnership are rooted in professional training, ethical rigor, and cultural sensitivity. I work only with trusted, recognized elders recognized by their own communities and spiritual practitioners.
Legitimacy
Safety
Trauma-informed, consent-driven, vetted providers, safe spaces, harm-reduction, ethical care.
Healing and gaining insight shouldn’t hurt or be dangerous. Your safety—emotional, spiritual, physical—is sacred. I’ve seen the harm that can result from irresponsible spiritual retreats, unqualified facilitators, and exploitative practices. That’s why I create trauma-informed, consent-based, and culturally appropriate experiences that protect your wellbeing at every step.
What is The Rose of Jericho?
The Rose of Jericho, also known as the Resurrection Plant, is a remarkable desert plant renowned for its extraordinary ability to survive prolonged periods of drought and revive itself upon contact with water. Native to arid regions, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East, this plant symbolizes resilience, rebirth, and renewal.
Spiritually, the Rose of Jericho has profound implications across many different traditions and cultures. Its resurrection ability has made it an emblem of hope, transformation, and new beginnings. In Christian symbolism, it is often associated with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, serving as a metaphor for rebirth and spiritual awakening. Similarly, in various folk traditions in the Caribbean and South America, it is believed to bring luck, prosperity and protection.
The Rose of Jericho is often used in rituals intended to cleanse and purify spaces, invite positivity, and manifest intentions. When placed in water, the plant opens and is revived, symbolizing the unfolding of one's spiritual journey and the blossoming of inner potential. Upon drying, it curls back into its dormant state, symbolizing cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
In modern spiritual practices, the Rose of Jericho is frequently used as a tool for meditation, intention-setting, and ritual work, especially when seeking renewal after challenging experiences or during significant life transitions. Its resilient nature provides an inspirational reminder of the strength inherent within all of us, for transformation, encouraging individuals to embrace change and personal growth.
If you feel called to reconnect with your path, consider requesting a personalized Travel Prescription.
Rooted in sacred intention, it’s designed to support your journey toward renewal—whether you're navigating a major transition, healing from a past cycle, or simply ready to bloom again.
