On January 15, 2011, Ananda served as one of the keynote speakers for the Vision Quest Retreats’ Taking your Dreams from Design to Destiny: The Next Level Conference held in Washington, DC. Her talk focused on the inner women who live inside of women (archetypes or personalities) and how they can help women shape their dreams and ultimately their destiny. It was based on her book That Which Awakens Me: A Creative Woman's Poetic Memoir of Self-Discovery (2009).

Ananda's books Love's Troubadours, a novel and That Which Awakens Me, a poetic memoir are available on Amazon.com: http://amzn.to/​i5qrU3.
