The turning of the year holds something sacred—a collective pause when the veil between who we've been and who we're becoming feels thinnest. Yet year after year, intentions fade and resolutions dissolve into familiar patterns.
This year can be different.
Not through willpower alone, but through a scientifically-backed, spiritually-grounded journey that works WITH your brain's natural capacity for change during this potent window of new beginnings.
Our late January - April cohort aligns perfectly with nature's cycle: winter's introspection giving way to spring's emergence. As you move through this three-month journey, you'll be working with—not against—the earth's own rhythm of renewal.
January marks a neurologically optimal time for transformation. Science shows that temporal landmarks like the new year create the 'fresh start effect'—your brain is already primed for change. The question is: will you give it the support needed to make that change last beyond February?
This is where our January cohort becomes your most powerful ally for 2026.
Microdosing with purpose and guidance is a powerful tool in moving from intention to purposeful action.
About this Retreat
Details of this retreat
The Science of New Beginnings
Research shows that temporal landmarks like the new year create the "fresh start effect"—your brain is already primed for change. Our late January start capitalizes on this neurological readiness while giving you time for thoughtful enrollment decisions.
The 90-Day Neuroplasticity Window
Three months is the optimal timeframe for creating lasting neural pathways. You're not just changing behaviors—you're rewiring patterns at the root, exactly when your brain is most receptive to transformation.
Beyond February's Resolution Bust
Most New Year's resolutions fail by week 6. By that time, you'll have professional support, somatic tools, and a community holding you in your commitment—moving through the vulnerable transition period with resources, not willpower alone.
Beyond resolutions—rewire patterns at the root

A Safe, Compassionate Space for Deep Healing Exploration
My experience at Ananda was deeply supportive and thoughtfully held. Kim and Jason are compassionate, caring, and clearly committed to creating a safe, grounded space to work with plant medicines. From the beginning, I felt seen, respected, and never rushed or pressured.
The container they’ve built is intentional and trauma-informed. Safety, consent, and care are not just words here, they are felt throughout the experience. Their presence allowed me to slow down, trust the process, and do meaningful inner work at my own pace.
I’m grateful for the integrity, warmth, and attention Kim and Jason bring to this work. Ananda is a special place, and the care behind it truly shows.

Life Changing
This Huachuma retreat was truly a life-changing experience for me. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, grounding, and perfectly held by nature. From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep sense of safety and care.
The people who facilitated and supported the retreat were incredibly kind, present, and compassionate. They created a space where I felt genuinely seen, understood, and supported throughout the entire journey. Their care and integrity made it easy to trust the process and fully surrender to the experience.
Every detail felt intentional, from the environment to the emotional and energetic support. It was clear how much heart, respect, and experience went into holding this space.
This retreat was worth every penny and so much more. I left with clarity, gratitude, and profound shifts.. I am deeply thankful for this experience and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone feeling called to this work.

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.
