Applications close October 30, 2026
The problem we deeply understand
You've been in the industry for a while. You have amazing clients who find you through referrals, repeat projects, and the occasional proposal. The work is excellent — people tell you so.
And yet your income is unstable. It depends on who happens to call this month. There is no system that consistently brings the right people to you. So you take what comes, and your impact stays smaller than it could be.
You've looked around for support. You see big promises: scale to the moon and back, build engines that run 10x while you sleep.
But something in you says no — not because you're afraid of growth, but because that kind of growth costs the very thing that makes your work work: your presence, your values, your way of living, leading, and working.
So instead, you stay where you are. Excellent work, unstable income, and a quiet feeling that you were made for more than this.
The question was never whether to grow. It's how to grow without compromising your values.
Introducing The Forest
The Forest is a one-of-a-kind mastermind for coaches and consultants who are ready to weave in an in-person experience into their offerings and use it to add $50,000–$100,000 in the next six months, doing work they love, in a way that fits their values.
It begins with five days together in Bali, where you'll experience the very model you're about to build: a values-aligned, in-person experience that creates deep transformation and generates real income. By day five, you have your own designed, priced, and ready to sell.
It continues with five months of implementation support online, where we work inside and alongside your business until your retreat or intensive is filled and running.
You'll grow your business by tending to it — in community, guided by business mentors and coaches by your side, following a model that fits your values, plus a full suite of AI tools to help you execute at each stage.
Eight founding members. Two stewards. One forest.
What you leave with
A different way
Most masterminds ask what you're willing to do. Here, we ask who you're willing to be.
In the Deeply Rooted Business Model©, revenue is not the goal you chase. It is the natural fruit of a healthy, well-tended tree. Growth that starts from identity and values holds — and weathers the storms. Growth that starts from tactics burns out. We've seen it, and most of us have lived it.
The Forest is where a rooted business learns to bear more fruit: more clients, more income, more contribution — without pulling up what you've planted.
The collective journey
We start in person, because some things only happen in a room — not on Zoom. Each day builds on the last, and by the end of day five you have a roadmap you helped build, for yourself and for everyone else in the forest.
November 15–20, 2026 · Fivelements Retreat Bali in Mambal – Where Ancient Rituals Meet Transformative Wellness
00
Day 0
We open the circle. Arrivals, first introductions, and a welcoming ritual to mark the beginning. The forest gathers before the work begins.
01
Day 1
We define your goals: where you're going, and why. We name the common challenges of entrepreneurs at your stage, and how to navigate them.
02
Day 2
We identify your people and your strategy. Who you serve, and how they'll find you in an increasingly noisy landscape.
03
Day 3
We design your in-person offer — retreat, intensive, or workshop — price it at its real value, and get comfortable selling it. We believe everyone in business needs a great set of sales skills.
04
Day 4
We build your five-month roadmap, with a structure and system that feels true to you. Each member presents their roadmap to the forest and receives the group's feedback. We set the rhythm for the five months ahead.
05
Day 5
We close the circle and mark the move from in-person to online with a closing ceremony at Fivelements. You fly home knowing exactly what to do first, and who's walking with you.
December 2026 – April 2027
Every month, you get:
One group brainstorming session
The forest gathers to exchange ideas, insights, lessons, experiences, challenges, and inspirations.

Review your numbers, refine your positioning, and adjust your campaigns. You come with data; you leave with a sharper plan.

Design the rhythms, priorities, and structures that move you toward your goals — without burning out on the way.

Who you work with
We are not observers of the Deeply Rooted philosophy. We are its first and most committed practitioners.
Trish Sta. Rosa
The Idealist · Magician · Revolutionary
Direction, Operations & AlignmentTrish was never employed in a corporation. Raised in an entrepreneurial family, she had built three businesses by her early twenties and has founded four across multiple industries and countries. She found her calling in coaching in 2020 and has since helped hundreds of coaches and consultants across North America, Europe, and Asia step into their new identity and launch premium offerings. Her gift is simplifying complexity. In The Forest, she holds direction, operations and alignment — helping you bring your big vision into real life without losing yourself on the way.
Suam Barrantes
The Realist · Seeker · Lover
Strategy, Positioning & SalesSuam spent twelve years in senior leadership at one of Spain's leading commercial banks before leaving corporate life in 2018 to become a business mentor. Since then he has helped hundreds of service-based businesses in Spain and Latin America grow and double their sales through value-based positioning and a human way of selling. He's very good with money matters — and even better at changing the way people see it: as a tool to do more good. In The Forest, he leads strategy, positioning, and sales.
Contrary forces, complementary gifts. Idealist and realist. Present-oriented and future-oriented. What one has in lack, the other one has in abundance. That balance and completeness is what you get in the room — and in the Zoom every month that follows.
What clients say
"From fragmented excellence to one system working in harmony."
I had too many offerings for different people that drained my energy. Trish helped me return to my values and core purpose and design one system that served my people.
"She leads with grace and intentionality."
Trish's approach to business is both authentic and strategic. She creates a space where you feel inspired and grounded — and then helps you turn those big visions into actionable steps.
"I tripled the price of my services."
By the end I had tripled my prices and started attracting a completely different profile of client. Suam's questions make you reach the conclusions yourself.
"You were like a co-founder to me."
I was the bottleneck in everything. Suam helped me gain perspective, cut through the noise, and build a business that no longer depends on me being in every corner of it. 1000% recommended.
"My method was born from coherence, not anxiety."
Little by little, everything fit. From there my positioning and narrative emerged — not from pressure, but from clarity. Today I work with more calm. The financial results followed.
"It helped me clearly see my wide branches."
The Deeply Rooted Business Model helped me identify the partners, collaborators, and communities that would support my expansion — across the US, Latin America, India, and Africa.
"Work with someone who's already walked the road."
Working with Suam was a true gift — 100% committed, methodical, with the soul of a strategist. Going solo is hard. You don't need to make every mistake others already made.

Who The Forest is for
What's included
Part one
Five days in Bali · November 15–20, 2026
Part two
Five months online · December 2026 – April 2027
The cohort
Eight members
The venue · Our home for five days
We gather at Fivelements Retreat Bali — a luxury wellness retreat nestled in the jungle on the banks of the Ayung River, in the village of Mambal in the heart of Bali. Built almost entirely from bamboo, thatch, and wood, it is the kind of place where thinking slows down and clarity comes up.
Where you'll stay
Each member has a private suite. Depending on availability, you'll be in a Riverfront Suite — thatched roof, bamboo and wooden interiors, a private terrace overlooking the Ayung River, and your own bamboo bathhouse with an open-air bathtub carved from volcanic stone — or a Hillside Pool Suite, set above the Balinese gardens, with a private plunge pool, outdoor shower, and volcanic stone bath. Both are dressed in traditional Songket textiles and antique Balinese details.
Where we'll work
Our sessions move between indoors and outdoors: open-air bamboo pavilions overlooking the river and the gardens, quiet corners for one-on-one conversations, and long tables for shared meals. In between, the retreat is yours — the chemical-free swimming pool, the water healing pool, the gym, the medicinal garden, and the sacred spaces that give Fivelements its name.
Meals
Full board is included, from Fivelements' plant-based kitchen — prepared with the same care as everything else here.
Investment
$10,000 USD
Everything included except your flights to and from Bali — private suite, full board, all sessions in Bali, and the full five months of support online.
Bringing a business partner or team member? The second seat is 20% off.
Pay in full
Or pay in two installments
$5,500 on confirmation + $5,500 on December 1, 2026 ($11,000 total — the early-bird price applies to full upfront payment only).
Apply to The Forest →The form takes about 10 minutes to complete. Once submitted, you'll be able to book a 45-minute call with Trish and Suam.
Imagine
Six months ago you got on a plane to Bali, not entirely sure what you'd come back with.
Now your calendar has conversations on it with people you chose — not people who happened to call. Your LinkedIn presence works while you're offline. You've sold your premium offer more than once, at a price that once made you nervous. The income is there: $50,000, $100,000 more than a year ago — because you had the structure, the systems, and the steps to make it happen.
But that's not what you notice first.
What you notice is that you still recognise your business. You're rested. You gave more this year than last — to your clients, to your family, to the causes you care about. And there's a group chat with seven people who know your work by name, cheering when you win.
That's the forest. Every tree is stronger because of the others.
On the investment
Comparable rooms in this space charge $6,000–8,000 for a single week in Bali with no follow-up, or $15,000 a year for a handful of group calls and a WhatsApp group. The Forest gives you five days in person with a private room and full board at a wellness retreat included and five months of implementation.
We publish the price because we believe you should be able to decide without a sales call. And the return is simple: a few premium clients cover the investment. The system you build brings the next ones.
"I can't take a week away from my business."
In that week, you'll do more strategic work on your business than in the previous six months of working in it.
"I've done programmes before."
So have we. Most of them get you 70% of the way there, because they start with tactics and never ask who you are. The Forest starts with your roots — and then builds the system.
"I'm not sure I'm ready."
If you have a working practice, paying clients, and a real desire to grow — you're ready. The application conversation will tell us both whether this is your room.
"Bali is far."
Yes. That's part of the point. Distance from the everyday is where direction becomes clear.
Ready to grow?
This is the official founding cohort of The Forest. We're selecting eight values-aligned business owners to journey with. We start in Bali and continue online.
Applications close on October 30, 2026 — or as soon as the eight seats are filled. Not to pressure you, but because flights need booking, and you need to arrive by November 12 at the latest.
Applying takes about ten minutes. Then, you'll be able to book a call with Trish & Suam. If it's a fit, we proceed with the payment. If it isn't, we'll tell you honestly — and you'll still leave with a new connection.

Good to know
November 15–20, 2026 at Fivelements Retreat in Mambal, in the heart of Bali, Indonesia. You'll need to arrive by November 12 at the latest to settle in and manage jet lag — earlier is better, so you have the chance to explore Bali first.
Everything except your flights: the five days of sessions, a private suite and full-board meals at Fivelements, and the full five months of online support — group brainstorming sessions, masterclasses, one-on-one sessions with Suam, Trish, and Deeply Rooted Coaches, and a private group channel. Support at every step. We're going to execute together.
In a private suite at Fivelements Retreat — either a Riverfront Suite overlooking the Ayung River or a Hillside Pool Suite with its own plunge pool, depending on availability. Both are yours alone for the five nights of the programme.
Yes. Pay in full and save — $9,000 if you pay before October 15, $10,000 from October 15 onward — or pay in two installments of $5,500: the first on confirmation, the second on December 1, 2026 ($11,000 total). The early-bird price applies to full upfront payment only.
We read every application personally, and have a 45-minute conversation with you. If we all feel it's aligned, you'll receive an invitation to join. No payment is taken until you're accepted.
About seven to eight hours of sessions: two group sessions of around 90 minutes each (the brainstorming call and the masterclass), and three one-on-one sessions of around 60 minutes each (strategy with Suam, design with Trish, and deep coaching with a Deeply Rooted Coach). In between, you'll have work to do — that's where the results come from.
No. LinkedIn is the channel we build your lead generation system on. If your clients can't be found there, we'd rather tell you now than take your money.
Yes — small teams are welcome. The second seat comes at a 20% discount.
The Forest is built for owners of professional, relational service businesses who want to weave a retreat, intensive, or in-person experience into their offerings. The titles are usually coach, consultant, facilitator, mentor, advisor, or teacher — people whose presence and expertise are the product. If that's you under a different title, apply and tell us.
Group calls and masterclasses are recorded and shared privately with the cohort. One-on-one sessions are not, unless you ask.
The investment is non-refundable after acceptance. If you're unable to travel to Bali, we'll refund the in-person costs (accommodation and meals) and you'll still join the five months online.
Then this isn't the right offer, and we'd say so. The five days are where the plan is made; the five months are where the results are. They belong together.
Apply — the conversation is part of the process. Or write to us at steward@deeplyrooted.space.
