About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

ARE YOU A WOMAN WHO...


Is in the thick of perimenopause & menopause and feeling the shifts?
You're experiencing unpredictable periods, intense mood swings, sleep disruption, anxiety, or brain fog - and you're tired of being told "this is just part of getting older." You're ready to honor this transition as the sacred passage it truly is.
Feels like you're losing yourself in the chaos of change?
One day you feel like yourself, the next you don't recognize your emotions, your body, your reactions. The identity you've carried for decades is shifting faster than you can keep up. You're ready to find solid ground amidst the storm and reclaim your power.
Craves natural, holistic support beyond "wait and see"?
You've tried supplements, lifestyle changes, maybe hormone therapy - perhaps they've helped, perhaps not. You're curious about plant medicine and herbalism as allies for this unpredictable transition and ready to access deep healing from within.


THE PERFECT TIMING FOR TRANSFORMATION
June 20-27, 2026
Season of Illumination & Renewal
Summer Solstice Power

Begin your journey on the Summer Solstice - the longest day of the year and a potent time of peak solar energy. Just as the sun reaches its zenith before shifting, you're at the sacred threshold between your fertile years and your wisdom years. Harness this powerful turning point energy to navigate perimenopause with intention.

Honoring the In-between

The solstice marks nature's pivotal moment between expansion and harvest - perfectly mirroring your internal world, the "in-between" phase. You're not who you were, not yet who you'll become. This retreat honors this powerful, transformative middle ground.

Fire Season Medicine

Summer's fire element perfectly matches the internal chaos of perimenopause - hot flashes, rage, anxiety, the burning away of old identities. Rather than fighting your body's intensity, you'll learn to work WITH the fire - transforming it from discomfort into fuel for your becoming.

Peak Vitality Integration

As nature displays her fullest expression of life force, you'll tap into your own renewed vitality beneath the perimenopausal symptoms. Return home with 8 days of profound healing, perfectly timed to carry the light and clarity of solstice into the abundant months ahead.

Navigating the Shift

You'll complete your journey on June 27th, just as the sun begins its slow descent toward harvest season. Like the solstice shift, perimenopause is about learning to navigate change with grace - honoring what's ending while stepping toward the wisdom-rich season ahead.
WHAT MAKES THIS EXPERIENCE UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE?
Potent 5am Ceremony
While others offer evening-only ceremonies, we harness the optimal brain wave states for healing that occur at dawn. You'll journey with psilocybin as the sun rises, followed by a meticulously crafted 2-hour sound healing experience designed to harmonize each energy center. This unique combination of sunrise medicine work with vibrational healing creates an extraordinarily powerful healing container found nowhere else.
Perimenopause-Specific Herbal Wisdom
Over 8 transformative days, we methodically restore balance to your entire energy body - from root to crown. Each day combines herbal wisdom with modern somatic practices, giving you practical tools and allies to assess and rebalance your body long after you return home.
Systematic Energy Center Restoration
We will address the specific energetic upheaval of perimenopause - from root (security amidst unpredictability) to crown (spiritual awakening through chaos). Each day combines ancient wisdom with somatic practices tailored to the perimenopausal body and nervous system, giving you practical tools to navigate this transition with grace.
Intimate Luxury in Paradise
Maximum 8 women. Ocean-view king suites with artisanal furnishings. Private chef meals. This isn't a crowded retreat - it's a bespoke healing journey in eco-luxury.

Ceremony 1: Gentle introduction to build nervous system readiness

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.

Angel Walking Among Us
Sister, Angel, Kind, Gifted, Grace, Funny; a few words that come to mind when I reflect on Rachael. She is supportive, compassionate and holds a sacred container for true and lasting healing. She is deeply attuned to the emotional state and needs of those around her. She is mindful and aware. She is grounding, she is healing, she is a reminder; to help you remember to find your center. I am eternally grateful for Rachael. I will never forget her heart, her voice, her laugh. Thank you, sister.

Gifted Angel On Earth
Where do I begin. Nothing I type here in this review will do justice the way I feel in my heart, my being, and my soul. Kimberly is incredibly gifted. A few words that come to mind when I think of her is Angel, Peace, Power, Healing, Humble, Warrior. I felt a special connection to her, her familiar voice, her presence. She is so present, intentional, aware, attuned and mindful. She takes great care with our hearts. I am so grateful for her devotion to the ripple. Kim, you are forever in my heart. What you are committed to is no easy feat. I hold the most reverence for you and J, for your shared commitment to healing. What you both have created is a beautiful gift to those who share in it and then the ripple effect begins, and it touches the lives of those around us. I will never forget you, your gifts, your healings and teachings. Sunshine.

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!!
