Wonderfull experience
I highly recommend Ananda lodge Women’s retreat. From the beautiful facility and grounds to the meticulously planned program, it was the perfect experience for me. I feel like I received a nervous system reset and true healing at Ananda. Kimberly, Rachelle and Michelle are very knowledgeable and education I received was incredibly valuable.

Life Changing and Unforgettable, Truly Special
A beautifully created sanctuary on sacred land. It is a big exhale. A place to truly heal. It gives you what you find within, peace. A comfortable bed to rest. An open air shower to cleanse in nature. Plenty of space to find solace during free time. Lush and fruitful plants everywhere you look. This retreat and plant medicine center has change my life. It is a divine gift that I will hold close in my heart with gratitude, love and reverence. Thank you, Kim and Jason, for creating and maintaining such a special, sacred container.

Best decision of my life
I have been struggling with symptoms of CPTSD my entire life, I never knew what it felt like to feel a calm nervous system and was always nauseous requiring different meds to function. I decided to go on the women’s only retreat with a *hope* that I would feel just a little bit better. Each ceremony was incredibly powerful in its own way, and came along with some drastic self realizations. The facilitators provided the most respectful and loving support, and on the second ceremony had an intense body reaction that stemmed from my trauma (childhood sexual abuse). I realized I wasn’t nauseas but rather felt disgust all the time. Since my retreat has ended (meeting 2 months now) I have not been nauseated once, and when I came home I didn’t feel the need to use anything (meds, alcohol or cannabis) and have even lost my sugar addiction! The improvement I have felt and seen in my life truly can not be put into words. I feel so much lighter, clearer thinking, and I can hear my intuitive thoughts. I am forever thankful for this retreat and the facilitators and cannot wait to go back for another retreat to continue to level up my way of life. I wish everyone I know could attend Amanda Lodge and I know first hand the outcome is so powerful in such a positive way. I was able to feel a sense of pure joy that I’ve never felt before, and have so much gratitude for my healing. If you’re on the fence, please don’t hesitate! It is so worth it!!

Life Changing - Skeptic to Believer
I found Ananda Retreat center on a late night doomscroll on my phone. I've participated in DBT, CBT, traditional treatments for depression and PTSD with a slew of pharmaceutical interventions since I was a teen diagnosed with depression.
I was INCREDIBLY skeptical about plant medicine but decided to take a shot after reading about Ananda's trauma informed care approach and integration.
I came hoping for a little relief from my PTSD symptoms and left with so much more. Kim is incredibly caring and mindful about her practice with plant medicine. She involves you and educates you on every step of the process. She is incredibly knowledgeable and cautious in her practice to make sure everything is in the best interest of her guests. I thought I was just going to take plant medicine but instead I was invited into an immersive healing process with an wonderful guide and healer.
My family thought I was crazy- when I returned home and they saw the glow and joy on my face they knew the experience was transformative. So thankful I found this amazing ministry of healing. Already planning my next visit to continue my healing work.
Accommodations were on par with a 5 star resort- amazing view, beautiful pool and peaceful and intentionally small. Food was nourishing and helped reset my body- massage over the rushing creek in the midst of a beautiful rainforest was also one of the memories I will cherish.
Thank you Kim and Jason for the gift of Ananda Lodge!!
