GERARD A. POWELL
Chief Executive Office, Chairman, RYTHMIA LIFE ADVANCEMENT CENTER
Gerard Powell was the personification of the American businessman: rich, powerful and unhappy. He opted to try anything available to hide from himself and his “perfect” life. Most of his existence he suffered from addiction and depression, incessantly trying to fill the hole deep within, with little or no success. Ultimately, after much trial and error he found the key to true success and happiness. Today, he serves as a conscious entrepreneur, thought leader, philanthropist and public speaker on a mission to share the modalities and philosophies that transformed his life.
His business history is nothing short of miraculous. He grew up in a very modest home, was not able to focus on school and ultimately dropped out. After several unsuccessful business ventures, in 1991 he partnered in a building and development company. His inner guidance directed him to discontinue this line of work , however Gerard remained involved long enough to consummate a deal that netted him more than a million dollars – while still in his twenties.
Gerard went on to build multiple companies from the ground up later selling them for hundreds of millions of dollars. In 1995, Powell started thatlook.com, the first company organized to provide mass-market access to cosmetic surgery procedures. In 1999, Powell took thatlook.com public, and the company achieved a market value of approximately $150 million. Subsequently, he and his management team founded looksforless.com mimicking and exceeding the same business success with a different business model. He was living the good life – too good, in fact.
“I sold my company for $94 million dollars. I had 5 houses, 20 plus cars, and 2 planes. I achieved the American dream but I was hooked on Demerol, was an alcoholic and was suicidal. I realized something was very wrong because the more I acquired the more I suffered. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and travelled the world on my journey to heal myself through every self-help and healing modality I could find. A friend introduced me to Plant Medicine and in one night I had an experience that transformed my existence and liberated me from a lifetime of suffering. That was 2 years ago and my life continues to unfold in an extraordinary way. As a result of my experience I decided to open a center in Costa Rica that would offer all of the modalities that had the greatest impact on my life, enabling me to share them with as many people as possible at a price they could afford. I modeled it after the Club Med philosophy of an all-inclusive resort experience offering modalities, accommodations, organic meals, and first class amenities.”
That is how Rythmia Life Advancement Center was conceived. Rythmia Group, Inc., a management company that manages certain aspects of the center, is headquartered in the beachside community of, Malibu, California, where Gerard also lives with his family. He visited Costa Rica and found the current location of the Center in Guanacoste, one of the five blue zones in the world where people live happiest and longest. He purchased an 81 bed hotel and renovated it making it the go-to facility for a spiritually awakening vacation experience poised to enable guests to experience healing and life transformation during their stay.
Powell continues, “We have gathered, under one roof, a team of world-renowned specialists offering the most breakthrough modalities including “The Answer Is You”, life transformation program by Michael Beckwith; the Dead Sea Cleanse, a hydrotherapy colonic cleanse that far surpassed any others I tried; Prana Vinyasa Yoga by Shiva Rea; Plant Medicine by Sarab Deva and Dr. Vanessa Grillo; and locally grown organic farm to table food PRESENTED by Shivanter.”
Another way in which he has opted to share his experiences and findings is through Truthenomics, a program and website that teaches the skills and insights essential to a life of manifestation. He has become a leading Conscious Entrepreneur, creating progressive businesses that transform people’s lives. He speaks to audiences and organizations relying on his signature, unfiltered style that is filled with humor, authenticity and an inherent ability to inspire.
Rythmia and Gerry’s story are featured in a just-released documentary entitled “The Reality of Truth” along with thought leaders including Joel Olsteen, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson and more, as well as actors Michelle Rodriguez and Peter Coyote.

Dr. Jeff McNairy, Psy.D., M.P.H. has been working in the health care field for 25 years. He has worked in a variety of medical environments and seen the struggle individuals have when actually trying to heal. The current Western system of heath care is deficient in healing the population. It is more concerned with managing symptoms and using external sources for “change.” Through Dr. McNairy’s intense experience with the most desperate patient populations (addition, acute mental health, and trauma), he has seen that the only real healing can come from within.
Meg is a “nutritarian”, passionate plant-pusher & conscious chef, yoga instructor, reiki practitioner, inspirational speaker, retired TV director, cookbook author, and eating disorder awareness advocate, with a personal mission to make the world a sweeter place, filled with love.
Meg is a certified Professional Plant-Based & Living Food Chef, food educator, and Culinary Nutrition Expert. Meg has also studied personally with raw food detox expert Natalia Rose at the Natalia Rose Institute in New York City as well as at Matthew Kenney’s M.A.K.E. Culinary Academy in Santa Monica California.
Having worked in restaurants and the food industry all through her teens and twenties, and having grown up in her mother’s creative kitchen on a small farm in rural Ontario, Canada where meals were often based around local produce and comprised of comfort fare, Meg was surrounded with love from a strong family with hearty and healthy food philosophy. Even so, as a young adult Meg fought some serious food battles, suffering with anorexia and bulimia from her early teens. Over a decade of alcoholism, addiction and depression followed.
After overcoming a series of life altering events in 2010 and 2011 that included the loss of her father to ALS, a personal bankruptcy, a failed engagement, her 6 year old nephews emergency brain surgery, and her own relapse in bulimia that resulted in a near death ER visit, Meg chose to take the leap and leave her 12 year career in live television production to pursue her passions: raw food & yoga. During recovery from her eating disorder and grief, she found comfort and strength in adopting a whole foods diet and also great satisfaction in being able to share her affection for food creativity with others.
After spending several years sharing her knowledge and expertise in her longtime home of Toronto, in 2013 Meg packed her bags and moved to Costa Rica, where she has built a business catering wellness retreats, offering private chef services, and consulting with restaurants. Meg and her Costa Rican chef husband Isaack Mora also own the Nosara-based bakery, Bakers Dozen, where they create natural, vegan, and gluten free breads for local hotels, restaurants and markets.

Yoga is a discipline known worldwide for it’s amazing mental, physical and spiritual benefits through its tandem use of exercise and meditative practice. The yogic practice has the potential to be an amazing tool for transformation, which is why we chose world famous specialist Shiva Rea to guide our yoga retreats and classes at our beautiful all-inclusive resort in Costa Rica.
Yoga practice is a vital part of the everyday activities at Rythmia and we encourage all guests to take advantage. Our yoga sessions are designed for all levels, beginner to expert, with multiple classes occurring throughout the day and at times so that every guest, no matter the program, will be able to attend for no additional cost.
Prana Vinyasa Flow Yoga is an energetic, creative, full-spectrum approach to embodying the flow of yoga cultivated by Shiva Rea and the Global Vinyasa Collective of Teachers. Students of all levels are empowered to experience prana – the universal source of breath, life-energy and conscious intelligence – as the navigating source of yoga practice and vital living. Practitioners learn classical and innovative approaches to vinyasa yoga and the state of flow drawn from Krishnamacharya’s teachings, Tantra, Ayurveda, Bhakti, Somatics and Shiva’s teaching experience from the last fifteen years.
Rythmia is so dedicated to this part of your program that we have designed and built Yoga temples dedicated to your own practice. Classes will be occurring both in the morning and evening and are both great ways to either enter a day of healing or complete all that you have learned and experienced.

Born in Africa, Sarab Deva began Kemet studies 17 years ago, developing a deep respect and skill for the healing produced using altered states of consciousness. In 2008 she discovered plant medicine. For the past eight years, Sarab Deva has since dieted various medicinal plants whereby she acquired healing songs called Icaros, and facilitated more than 1000 plant medicine ceremonies. These vocal songs are used for sound healing during her ceremonies. Her training accelerated over this period, as she continued working with various Shipibo and Q’ero Shamans in Peru. During her ceremonies Sarab Deva will utilize both sound and energetic healing to facilitate the plant medicine experience. She is also a yogi and certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher and has a degree in Psychology with Clinical Hypnosis. Sarab Deva brings the wisdom of the Vedas into her ceremony space along with a well developed understanding of the Western psyche.
The guided plant medicine experience is one of five core programs included in every guest’s stay while at Rythmia. Naturopathic medicine has been used for thousands of years, in countless cultures, to help humans heal, grow, learn, and better understand the world around them. Now western science is finding that plant medicines have the capacity to heal emotional, physical, and spiritual ailments, restore mental functionality, and guide develop spirituality, purpose and lasting happiness.
Rythmia’s groundbreaking plant medicine program is administered under the direction of a physician in the safest, most comfortable and attentive conditions possible. Once guests are cleared to participate in the program, they are taught and prepared on how to resolve any internal “blocks” serving as barriers to happiness and physical well being. The plant medicine experience and results are based on participant’s willingness to change and ability to be open to the healing benefits of the medicine as led by master plant medicine healers and guides including Taita Juanito, Tara Boyce, Sarab Deva, Steve Ferrang and Brad Recktenwall.
A plant medicine experience is truly personal, deeply significant, and emotionally powerful for those who participate. During the process, you will know greater self awareness and connection to your inner self. The plant medicines will empower you in resolving past traumas, removing mental and emotional blocks, and understanding the significance of certain events that have occurred in your life. Plant medicine will help you move ahead in your life in a meaningful, purpose driven, and healthy way which enables personal success and happiness.
Quote from dead sea scrolls: “Think not that it is sufficient that the angel of water embrace you outwards only. I tell you truly, the uncleanness within is greater by much than the uncleanness without. And he who cleanses himself without, but within remains unclean, is like to tombs that outwards are painted fair, but are within full of all manner of horrible uncleannesses and abominations. So I tell you truly, suffer the angel of water to baptize you also within, that you may become free from all your past fears, and that within likewise you may become as pure as the river’s foam sporting in the sunlight.”
“Seek, therefore, a large trailing gourd, having a stalk the length of a man; take out its inwards and fill it with water from the river which the sun has warmed. Hang it upon the branch of a tree and kneel upon the ground before the angel of water, and suffer the end of the stalk of the trailing gourd to enter your hinder parts, that the water may flow through all your bowels. This will free your body from every uncleanness and disease. As the water runs out of your body, it will carry away from within it all the unclean smelling things of fear. And you shall see with your eyes and smell with your nose the abominations, and uncleannesses which defiled the temple of your body; even all the fears which abode in your body, tormenting you with all manner of pains. I tell you truly, baptism with water frees you from all of these. Renew your baptizing with water on every day of your fast, till the day when you see that the water which flows out of you is as pure as the river’s foam. Then betake your body to the coursing river, and there in the arms of the angel of water render thanks to the living God you are free from your fear. And this holy baptizing by the angel of water is: Rebirth unto the new life. For your eyes shall henceforth see, and your ears shall hear. Fear no more, therefore, after your baptism, and the angels of air and of water may eternally abide in you and serve you evermore.”
After the Cleanse you are rare in the world. You have fewer worms, parasites, mucus, ropes, pepper stems, metals, chemicals, pills, liver and gallbladder stones, and other assorted lifetime accumulations than most people you know. Your sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels are normal! Your skin looks radiant and you remember your glow! It’s okay to be the one you have been waiting for, if not you, then who; if not now, then when? You can do it later, maybe? What if later never comes?

In 1986, Michael Bernard Beckwith founded the Agape International Spiritual Center, a trans-denominational community highly regarded for its cultural, racial, and spiritual diversity, including thousands of local members and global live video streamers. “I greatly admire what you are doing to bring about the Beloved Community,” the late Coretta Scott King wrote to him, “which is certainly what my dear husband worked for and ultimately gave his life.”
Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith
Agape’s local community outreach programs feed the homeless, serve incarcerated individuals and their families, partner with community service organizations active in children’s schools and homes for youth at risk, support the arts, and advocate the preservation of our planet’s environmental resources. Agape’s global humanitarian programs provide food and retraining to schools, libraries, orphanages, hospitals, clinics, homes for unwed mothers, and provide micro-loans, financial support during natural disasters, and human advocacy. Locations served range from 8 African countries to Afghanistan, Bosnia, Columbia, Ecuador, India, Iraq, Kosovo, and Sri Lanka.
An eminent representative within diverse religious traditions, in February 2012, Dr. Beckwith addressed the United Nations General Assembly as part of its annual World Interfaith Harmony Week. As co-founder and president of the Association for Global New Thought, Beckwith is chair of the Gandhi King Season for Nonviolence which was launched at the United Nations in 1998 and is currently active in more than 100 U.S. cities in 40 states and in 10 countries. About its mission the Dalai Lama has said: “Both Gandhi and Martin Luther King are inspiring examples of the power and truth of nonviolence and the actions that arise from them. The Season for Nonviolence is a very good tool to remind us of their witness, and also the large unfinished work we have together in transforming awareness on our planet.” AGNT has also been privileged to be the convener of three Synthesis Dialogues with His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet.
In 2013, Dr. Beckwith’s book, Life Visioning, received the prestigious Silver Nautilis Award in the category of religion and spirituality, as well as a Silver Nautilis Award in the category of creativity for his book and music CD combination, TranscenDance Expanded.
Beckwith is a sought after meditation teacher and facilitator of conferences and seminars on the Life Visioning Process™, which he originated. He is the author of The Answer Is You, 40 Day Mind Fast Soul Feast, Inspirations of the Heart, and A Manifesto of Peace.
He has appeared on Dr. Oz, The Oprah Show, Larry King Live, Tavis Smiley, and in his own PBS Special, The Answer Is You. Every Friday at 1 pm PST, thousands tune into his radio show on KPFK, Wake up – The Sound of Transformation, and his Wednesday Hay House Radio Show at Hay House Radio.com.
