Huachuma Community Weekend

I hold such gratitude for Ananda Lodge. What a truly special, safe and sacred space to surrender into healing. I am very selective on where and who I do plant medicine journeys with, as it's something I don't take lightly. My Huachuma experience with Ananda, and their Huachumero, Chase, of Spirit Collective was one of the most profound healing experiences I have ever had. This is because I truly felt safe. They have created such a welcoming, trauma-informed container and it's clear they hold lots of integrity in the work they do, and who they allow to offer these plant medicines. They keep their ceremonies to smaller, intimate groups to ensure everyone gets the attention and care they deserve/need, which to me is of so much importance in this type of work. Its evident they have opened this retreat center to truly assist others on their healing journey from a place of integrity and from the heart. Which i am so grateful for, as I have experienced other spaces that only treat it from a business perspective. Not only was my plant medicine experience profound, but the land and amenities are of top quality and comfort. I was blessed to see a family of over 40 monkeys on my journey, which is something I'll never forget. The food is nourishing, high quality, made with love and delicious!!! They also accommodate to all dietary restrictions, which is an added bonus.
I look forward to returning and continuing my healing and work here in the future.
Thank you Kim, Jay, Chase and the rest of the Ananda team. 🙏💞

Unique Nature Connection at Ananda

My experience was one of connection to the property and the surrounding. The facilities were what I would consider Eco Luxury, very comfortable and a focus on the details. The bathroom soap was homemade, the linens were cozy, and the rooms had an incredible view of the jungle, the property and the ocean. I never had to run AC because the ceiling fan was super efficient and didn't make a noise when cooling me off. There were monkey living in the canopy, a pizote passed by my room once, and I saw mapaches down by the bristling creek. The proprietors Kim and Jay, where very welcoming and catered to us throughout our entire stay. The medicine guide they brought in was top notch and always attentive as well. The homemade food was super rico, and a vegan option was available. The lodge went above and beyond my expectations and as local in the community, I'm happy there are such passionate people hosting retreats nearby.

Beautiful Huachuma retreat

I attended the huachuma week long retreat and had an amazing experience. Chase, the huachumero, hold the space and the medicine so wonderfully. Ananda Lodge is a beautiful and safe space. The food was amazing! They use local ingredients to give you new experiences and as well as elevate well known dishes. I had an amazing time.
