About
Intimacy, Somatic Wisdom, & Ayahuasca





Focused on safety, intimacy, and the knowledge of somatic trauma healing, Ananda introduces you to the new paradigm of plant medicine care.

In a culture that is fast-paced, high intensity, and focused on outcomes, disconnection from self is becoming rampant. At Ananda Lodge we believe in the power of the sacred pause and reconnecting with nature, and self, as potent medicines lost in much of today’s society.

At Ananda Lodge your safety and care is our utmost priority. With a 2:1 ratio of healers and facilitators to guests, we believe that each person deserves to be seen, acknowledged, and to receive the highest level of care. Limiting our retreat to only 8 participants not only allows for the highest level of trauma-informed care, but also for our master healers to spend time getting to know you and supporting your work.

Each member of the Ananda Lodge CARE team is trained in somatic, trauma-informed plant medicine facilitation, ensuring your ability to go deep with the medicine in a safe environment. Our philosophy is that of a comprehensive approach in which we empower our guests before, during, and after the retreat with tools and resources that reunite them to their inner healing intelligence.

Choosing The Right Retreat Center





At Ananda our sanctuary is purposefully designed to provide guests with the ideal change to go inward.

With thoughtful intention to every detail, we aim to create a nurturing space to safely go deep with the medicine. Our trauma-informed process focuses on education, tools, and resources that empower you to access the inner intelligence of the body combined with the healing benefits of the medicine. At Ananda we believe in your sovereignty and being an ally throughout your healing journey.

Choosing the right retreat center is an important step in the healing process that should not be overlooked. At Ananda Lodge we work with some of the most respected and powerful healers (Onanyas) from the Shipibo tribe in the Peruvian Amazon. The medicine we work with is of the highest quality and is never mixed with anything other than the vine, Banisteriopsis caapi, and chacruna leaves, Psychotria viridis. 

Nowadays ayahuasca ceremonies can vary greatly, and are becoming much more readily available in countries outside of South America. However, more and more unsafe practices are taking place. At Ananda Lodge we aim to be a bridge, where not only sacred medicine practices are honored and upheld, but the indigenous healers we work with are cared for, uplifted, and supported through Ayni, or sacred reciprocity efforts.

The Medicine | Ayahuasca





Oni, in Shipibo, is the name for the Ayahuasca brew. At Ananda Lodge Retreats, we operate with the highest level of integrity when serving medicine. Ayahuasca medicine that is brewed for our retreats is done with sacred reverence and prayer to provide deep healing for those who consume it.

Following many years of intense diets in the jungle, Shipibo healers are known to be some of the most highly skilled energetic surgeons. Through the singing of their icaros, or sacred healing songs, the curendera(o) channels their connection with the medicine and plant and animal spirits to heal traumatic imprints and energetic blockages. Through their singing, they guide the medicine to extract illness, repair the spirit, and harmonize the energy body.
While ayahuasca by itself can be considered deeply healing, it is the skill and level of mastery of the curandera(o) that profoundly impacts the depth of healing.


Shipibo





The Shipibo-Conibo are indigenous people who originate from the Peruvian Amazon. Formerly two groups, Shipibo and Conibo, they eventually merged to become one tribe known as some of the most powerful healers in the world. They are the third-largest indigenous group in the Peruvian Amazon, comprising 36,000 people across more than 150 communities.

The Shipibo Tribe is deeply rooted in their spiritual beliefs of healing with plants and their reverence for plant and animal spirits.  and gain their healing powers and wisdom directly from the plants. Evident through their icaros, or healing songs, and traditional textiles, or kenes, the Shipibo believe in the concept of an all-encompassing reality of oneness. The kene plays a crucial role in bringing these concepts into tangible, physical form often evident in the visuals experienced by the pasajeros.

Through their work with energy, they can cure a wide range of ailments, from physical to psycho-spiritual. The Shipibo follow a very specific progression of healing work with pasajeros that ensures the utmost safety, protection, and deepest access to removing trauma burdens and emotional imprints.

Integration Beyond The Norm





At Ananda Lodge, we hold the integration journey with the same reverence and sacredness as we have towards the plants and the ceremony itself. 

Integration is a sacred endeavor to be honored with time, commitment, compassion, and grace. In the process of integration, we grow a deeper relationship with ourselves and a deeper understanding of our true essence.

Post retreat we offer 3 levels of tiered integration, embodiment, and transformation programs to deepen weave together the wisdom from the sacred plants.

Our Ripple Effect Healing Packages place a strong emphasis on the Somatic process, the intricate relationship between the body and mind, and empowering pasajeros to reunite with the innate intelligence of the body.
