About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

ARE YOU A WOMAN WHO...


Feels like you're losing yourself in the tides of perimenopause?
The mood shifts, the sleepless nights, the thoughts that scatter before you can hold them — you're not imagining it. Your body is changing, and you're ready to understand what's happening rather than fight it.

Longs for more than symptom management?

You've been offered antidepressants or HRT without the deeper conversation you need. You're seeking an integrative approach that honors the whole of you — body, womb, nervous system, and spirit.

Senses something sacred is moving through this transition — if only you had the support to meet it?

You know this isn't just biology. It's a threshold. You're curious about plant medicine as a catalyst for reconnection, and you're ready to move through this passage with intention and community.


Wants to emerge from this time feeling resourced, not just relieved?

You're not here to simply get through it. You want real tools — herbal allies, somatic practices, and earth wisdom — to carry forward. You want to know your body as a wise guide, not an adversary.

 
WHAT THIS JOURNEY DELIVERS
1 Confusion to Grounded Clarity
You arrive disoriented. You leave with a map.

The symptoms that felt random begin to make sense. You understand the hormonal and neurological shifts underway — not as malfunction, but as a body in intelligent transition. The TCM elements become your compass. You can read your own experience again, not as something broken, but as something wise and navigable.

 
2 Reconnection with your Body
Your body is not your adversary.

The herbs, the ceremony, the somatic and energy work — all of it returns you to alliance with your own organism. When your body speaks, you have language for what it's saying. You stop waiting to be fixed and begin tending to what's becoming.

 
3 Integration that Continues
You leave with practices, not just memories.

You carry home personalized herbal knowledge, daily practices calibrated to your constitution, and a framework for reading your symptoms as information. The eight women you journey with become your council — and we maintain that connection through integration calls and shared resources beyond the retreat.

 
THOUGHTFULLY HELD IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
Women-Led, Women-Centered
Every facilitator on this retreat carries both professional training and lived understanding of the feminine journey. Eve, Amalia, and Kimberly have each walked paths of unraveling and rebuilding, and they bring that depth to the container they hold for you. This is professional expertise rooted in personal truth.

 
Where Science Meets Earth Wisdom
We meet at the intersection of science and spirit. You'll receive teaching on the hormonal and neurological shifts of perimenopause alongside Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnostics, Western herbalism, and sacred plant medicine. Both the biochemistry and the mystery are honored here.

 
Perimenopause-Specific, Precision Design
Every element of this eight-day journey — the herbal allies, the workshop teachings, the timing of ceremonies — is specifically chosen to support the physical, emotional, and spiritual shifts of perimenopause. This is not a general wellness retreat. It is a container designed for exactly where you are.

 
Intimate Sacred Container
We intentionally limit this retreat to eight women. This size allows for deep personal attention during ceremony, authentic connection within the circle, and space for your unique process to unfold. When you're navigating perimenopause, you need to be truly seen.

 
Potent 5am Ceremony
While others offer evening-only ceremonies, we harness the optimal brain wave states for healing that occur at dawn. You'll journey with psilocybin as the sun rises, followed by a meticulously crafted 2-hour sound healing experience designed to harmonize each energy center. This unique combination of sunrise medicine work with vibrational healing creates an extraordinarily powerful healing container found nowhere else.

 
Root to Crown: A Complete Map
Over eight transformative days, we move systematically through the chakra system, working with the TCM five elements and their corresponding perimenopause symptoms. You leave with a complete framework for understanding what your body is communicating — and how to respond.

 
Three Unique Psilocybin Journeys


Ceremony 1: Gentle introduction to build nervous system readiness

Women's Psilocybin 8 Day Retreat
Ananda Lodge is a sacred space that holds the wisdom of land. Kimberly, Jay, Dana and all of the staff created a safe, warm environment for plant medicine to work its intention. I began the most incredible journey there that has opened up my creativity and joy in avenues I had never considered. I am deeply grateful for this experience. The food and accommodations were also incredible as were the friends I met along the journey. I will never forget this trip. It was truly the best thing I could have ever done for myself.

If this experience calls, go ahead and respond.
If you’re looking for an experience of integrity, deeply rooted in somatic practices, yoga philosophy, and shamanic wisdom, this is the Retreat for you. Not only is the location a safe space, the facilitation creates a container for the most self reflective and healing journey of your life. The property is beautiful. The accommodations are clean and stunning, I felt so comfortable here. The land it’s beautiful and the animal visitors are so exciting to see. The talented and diverse chef created the most delicious and nurturing meals, accommodating dietary requests. I cannot wait to join another Retreat. The facilitators also support the local community and honor indigenous practices with great reverence.

Integrity, reverence, authenticity.
I have been in a spiritual and healing journey since 2012. I’ve been through multiple yoga teacher trainings, and have spent years in spaces with facilitators. I am being honest when I say I have never been so comfortable in the presence of a teacher as I am with Kimberly. She embodies somatic awareness and practices, demonstrates great reverence for indigenous practices and weaves together scientific evidence with an ancient philosophies in such a way that everything makes complete sense. I am fortunate enough to be working through a three month immersion with her online as well as I attended a one week integrative somatic experience that allowed me to explore what the nervous system can feel like when it’s not in the state of flight or fight. She honors and embodies the work that she shares, and you can truly see that in the way that she holds space and sets boundaries, and shares expectations of you meeting her halfway in your own work.
She pauses in presence during communication and practices, active listening, and emphasizes the art of rephrasing and reframing to help shift patterns in our lives.
Thank you, Kimberly. Aho.

Magical
From the moment I stepped onto the land at Ananda Lodge, I felt welcomed. The warmth began at the gate — being greeted with kindness, having my luggage carried in — and it continued in every small detail of the experience. There is something about this place that immediately makes you feel safe, seen, and held.
During my stay, I shared this journey with three incredible women, and together we were supported by the most compassionate and attentive team I could have imagined. Our host, Kim, carries a depth of care that is rare. The level of presence and genuine support she offers is something I will never forget - true compassion. Throughout the ceremonies, I felt protected and guided in a way that allowed me to go deeper than I thought possible.
The Shipibo maestra’s icaros were powerful beyond words — ancestral, precise, and deeply moving. And Mihao, whose knowledge of plant medicine is clearly a life path and devotion, brought a beautiful balance to the space. He is not only a gifted musician, but a multidimensional medicine man whose presence feels steady, wise, and grounded. The way he holds the masculine within ceremony created a container that felt complete and safe.
The second ceremony was the most challenging for me — physically and emotionally — yet even in its intensity, I felt supported at every step. Without the care and attentiveness of the team, I don’t know if I could have navigated it the way I did. That support made all the difference.
The food, prepared with such respect for the dieta, was nourishing, abundant, and lovingly made. Every meal felt intentional, fresh, and aligned with the process we were in. We were truly cared for like queens.
Ananda Lodge holds a space where healing can unfold naturally — gently when possible, powerfully when needed. I leave with gratitude in my heart and a steadier, softer feeling in my body.
This is a place I will return to, with trust and an open heart.

Eight-Day, Seven-Night Ayahuasca Retreat
What unfolded for me at Ananda Lodge was extraordinary, leaving me profoundly grateful and more whole than when I arrived. Having sat in ceremonies elsewhere, I can say with confidence that the care, coordination, and thoughtfulness Kim and Jason offer truly stand apart. I look forward to returning.

The ceremonies were profoundly healing - transformative and illuminating in ways that continue to unfold. The medicine met me in ways that are difficult to describe. I was in awe of the ancient wisdom carried through the Shipibo tradition, and of Maestro’s steady, anchoring presence throughout. The depth and sacredness of the experience are beyond words.

Kim and Mihau shaped a space of safety, intention, and reverence that allowed me to travel through time and possibility - and land in new beliefs. They were deeply attuned and present, and we always felt supported and seen. Their devotion to the medicine is not a role, it is a lifestyle. The way they show up is authentic, with roots also in humility and service. They prioritize the well‑being of every person there.

The space itself is stunning, thoughtfully and sustainably designed, with luxury accommodations, ocean views, and open-air gathering spaces. All around, the jungle hums with the chatter of birds, monkeys, insects, and the scuttling of geckos.

The food was remarkable; whole, nurturing, fresh, and prepared with love by Camilo. Every detail reflects his creativity and passion. It tastes so good you will return for seconds – perhaps even thirds!

I went for the medicine and left with new friends - mi familia. We witnessed one another, grew together, and now share a connection that will stay with us for life. We are birds that took flight.

Thank you all so much!

A very special thanks to Irie, the Jungle Poodle.
