About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

The Hunt for Your Song is not about learning to sing. It is about remembering what your voice already knows — and letting two of the world's most profound plant medicines help you find it.
 
AN INVITATION
Every person carries a song they have not yet sung.
The Andean and Mesoamerican traditions understood something modern culture has largely forgotten: the voice is not merely an instrument of communication. It is the most direct expression of the living soul — a frequency that, when found, restores coherence to the whole of a person's being.
This retreat is an invitation for those who have worked with medicine before and are ready to go deeper — not just into vision or insight, but into sound, symbol, and the specific song that belongs to you.
Over seven days at Ananda Lodge, you will be held by a team of master practitioners — Adriana Chantico and Felipe Kilakeo of Ikkaruna, alongside the Ananda facilitation team — working across two medicine traditions in a single, unified arc of ceremonial art.

Is this Retreat Right for you?
Those ready to work at the edge of their knowing

You’ve worked with plant medicines before and are seeking a qualitatively different depth of encounter


You feel a creative or expressive capacity that remains blocked, unnamed, or untranslated


Voice, song, or sound have felt significant to your healing path, even without formal training


You are drawn to the intersection of ancestral lineage, ceremonial art, and personal transformation


You want to work with master practitioners who hold living indigenous traditions, not contemporary interpretations


You are willing to commit fully — to the process, the community, and what each day requires of you

 
This is not a retreat about learning to sing well. It is about the ceremonial hunt for the specific vibrational signature that lives inside each person — a song that, once found, can become a lifelong tool of prayer, healing, and orientation. Both Psilocybin and San Pedro are brought to serve this single purpose.
 
The Ikkaruna Approach
Ikkaruna is not a curriculum — it is a living research practice developed over years in the field of ritual and therapeutic art. What Felipe and Adriana bring cannot be replicated by method alone. It emerges from lineage.
 
01 · SONG AS COSMOLOGICAL ACT
In Andean and indigenous Abya Yala traditions, song is not artistic expression — it is participation in the living order of the cosmos. Ikkaruna trains participants to work from this understanding rather than a Western musical framework.

 
02 ·HUNTING VS COMPOSING
The methodology draws a clear distinction between constructing a song and hunting one. The song already exists in the participant's body, territory, and lineage. The work is to develop the sensitivity to hear it and the skill to hold it.

 
03 ·MEDICINE AS SONIC TOOL
Both Psilocybin and San Pedro are used specifically as allies in the acoustic and vibrational dimensions of self-discovery. Ikkaruna's ceremonial music and the facilitators' songs create a container in which medicine and voice work together.

 
04 · CONSECRATION AS PRACTICE
The week culminates in a rite of consecration — a ceremony in which what has been found is offered and confirmed. Participants leave not just with an experience, but with a song that is theirs to work with for the rest of their lives.

 
The 7 Day Path
Day 1 | Monday June 22
Arrival & Orientation
Arrive at Ananda Lodge and settle into your accommodation — time to decompress, connect with the landscape, and begin internal preparation. An evening welcome circle introduces the group, the facilitators, and the week's intentions. Dietary guidelines and ceremony protocols are reviewed.

Day 2 | Tuesday June 23
The House of Spheres (Ceremony 1)
The opening ceremony. Guided by Felipe and Adriana's ceremonial songs, ritual altar, and stories of origin, participants enter the Psilocybin journey with individual dosage consultation and trauma-informed facilitation from the full team. An offering to the spiritual world — and the beginning of the hunt.

Day 3 | Wednesday June 24
Hunting & Nurturing your Song (1)
The first full day of Ikkaruna's song methodology. Morning sessions explore natural melody, rhythm and body, territorial identity, and the cosmology of sound. Afternoon practice includes voice and resonator work, polyphony exercises, and personal poetic writing. Individual consultations, cleansings, and therapies are available in the open spaces.

Day 4 | Thursday June 25
Hunting & Nurturing your Song (2)
The methodology deepens. Symbol, color, number, and form as sonic architecture. Dimensions of narrative, scene, and myth. The art of speaking through song and singing through speech. Traditional songs practiced as living technology. The day closes with the rite of consecration — an offering of what has begun to emerge.

Day 5 | Friday June 26
The Chakana Ceremony (Ceremony 2)
A nighttime vigil at the Chakana Altar. The group journeys through four times and spaces of the night in song, prayer, and communion with Pachamama. The medicine received across the week — through the first ceremony, through song — meets the embodied clarity of Wachuma. This is often when the song arrives fully.

Day 6 | Saturday June 27
Integration
A day held lightly. Individual consultations with facilitators are available. Cleansing therapies and bodywork are offered. The grounds are open for solitary reflection, journaling, and creative expression. No structured group programming — only the space to integrate. Additional consultations, cleansings, and therapies available for a supplemental fee.

Day 7 | Sunday June 28
Closing & Departure
A morning closing circle to honor what each participant found, and to tend the song as it carries forward into daily life. Departure follows checkout. Integration support from the Ananda team continues in the weeks ahead.

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.
