Felix (Soi Pino in Shipibo) first began his medicine journey attempting to heal from Lyme disease contracted in 2008. At its worst, he experienced a wide array of symptoms: anxiety attacks, memory loss, brain fog, and organ failure. After little success with conventional treatment, his research led him to consider exploring ayahuasca as an alternative. In 2013 Felix traveled to Peru to receive the medicine, and after experiencing relief from his symptoms, decided to stay on long term to learn more about traditional healing modalities.Felix has spent the last five years working closely with the medicine and the Shipibo people. For the first two years of his apprenticeship Felix worked at well-established amazonian center assisting over 1000 people in ceremonies. Felix later left to go to Pucallpa receive more in depth healing and instruction with his maestro. Through the medicine he was able to find incredible healing and relief from the pains of Lyme. Through his maestro’s lineage, he has been given full permission from his teacher to serve medicine and to provide healing diets. With the blessing of his teacher Felix holds this medicine with great love and respect, and has a deep passion for service.
Safa has been dedicated to the path of ayahuasca for almost two decades. After an extensive apprenticeship with the Shipibo-Conibo in the Amazon, her and her husband run a centre in Peru offering retreats and dietas since 2019. She has also dedicated over twenty years and thousands of client hours working with the subtle energy medicine, which is a unique lens and part of her ceremonial offering.Safa continues to receive guidance from deeply experienced teachers in non-duality, to guide revelation into something more abiding. Opening to greater availability to life, which she brings into her work. Plant medicine from this lens can be a very visceral, direct teacher - helping us to recall home the pieces that have forgotten our true nature as love.

Details of this retreat
WELCOME TO YOUR THRESHOLD
You've felt what the medicine can do.
You've sat in ceremony, done the work, and built a real relationship with this path.
Now you're asking a different question — not whether this is the right path, but how much further it goes.
THE BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDS
Intimate experience limited to 10 guests
This retreat exists for those who have already walked with plant medicine and are ready to go beyond single-lineage work into synthesis territory where few containers operate.
Over 10 days, you'll work with two medicines sequenced to unlock deeper layers of integration only possible when both traditions converge.
Ananda Lodge brings its transformative approach to the ancestral homeland of these sacred medicines, partnering with The Source Peru to create an unprecedented healing journey that honors both ancient wisdom and modern therapeutic approaches.
Master practitioners from each tradition will hold space for your work across both cosmologies. This isn't ceremonial tourism. This is depth work in the geography where these practices originated and continue uninterrupted.
Luxury Inclusions
Private single accommodations at The Source Peru for 9 nights
Four sacred medicine ceremonies guided by experienced, trauma-informed facilitators
Round trip shuttle to The Source from Cusco
Traditional Andean Despacho ceremony with Q'ero elders
Half-day luxury spa experience at Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel & Wellness
Two pre-retreat somatic preparation sessions (before arrival)
Two individual onsite navigation sessions during the retreat
Three post-retreat integration sessions (after returning home)
Farm-to-table organic meals prepared with locally-sourced ingredients
Natural Springs cold plunge
Onsite laundry services
The Convergence of Traditions
The convergence of Amazonian vine medicine and Andean cactus wisdom creates synthesis unavailable in single-lineage containers. You've worked each medicine separately. This immersion reveals what emerges when both traditions operate in coordinated sequence under carriers who understand cross-pollination at the lineage level.
Is This Convergence Right for You?
Medicine Experience
You don't need orientation to ayahuasca or San Pedro, you have working relationships with each. You're seeking a container filled with other experienced practitioners where the collective field operates at depth from ceremony one.
Synergistic Weaving
You've witnessed what ayahuasca reveals. You know San Pedro's territory. Now you're asking what becomes available when both medicines work you in coordinated sequence under carriers who understand cross-tradition dialogue.
Teachers and Mentors vs Facilitators
You recognize that working with dedicated teachers across 10 days creates mentorship unavailable in standard retreat models. You're seeking medicine carries with depth and who can answer the questions that arise three ceremonies deep when you're working synthesis territory.
The Wisdom of Sacred Valley
You understand altitude, land, and proximity to origin sites amplify medicine work. The 100-foot waterfall, the 10,000-foot elevation, the Incan energy grid—these aren't amenities. They're co-facilitators.
Intimacy = Depth
Ten participants maximum means the medicine carriers can track each person's arc across all four ceremonies. You recognize that intimate containers allow the Maestr@s to calibrate ceremony sequences based on what emerges in the collective field. Depth requires this ratio.
Cosmological Integrity
You've researched dual-tradition retreats and found most either lack authentic lineage or treat the combination as novelty. You're investing in one of the rare containers designed specifically for synthesis-level integration.
TRAUMA-INFORMED SOMATIC CARE
Integrate your medicine experiences through body-centered therapeutic approaches deepening your connection to Self.
Rather than just “having experiences,” our approach helps you process and integrate the medicine teachings at the level of the body, where true transformation occurs.
Your journey includes:
Two Pre-Retreat Somatic Preparation Sessions: Personalized guidance to prepare your nervous system for the medicine work
Individualized Support During Ceremony: Work 1:1 with our skilled Huachumera and somatic specialist designed to support your process of transformation
Two Individual Onsite Navigation Sessions: Skilled facilitation to help process emotions, sensations, and insights that arise
Two Post-Retreat Integration Sessions: Support for embodying your insights in daily life

Don’t wait
My experience at Ananda Lodge was truly life-changing. From the moment I arrived, I felt safe, welcomed, and genuinely cared for. The owners, Kimberly and Jason, along with the entire team, have created something incredibly special—a place where healing, compassion, and connection come together in the most beautiful way.
The property itself is breathtaking, surrounded by nature with peaceful ocean views that immediately calm your nervous system. Every detail, from the comfortable accommodations to the incredible fresh meals, is thoughtfully designed to support your journey.
What impressed me most was the level of care before, during, and after the ceremonies. I never felt like just another guest. I felt seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. Their trauma-informed approach allowed me to fully trust the process and surrender to the experience.
If you’re searching for a place to do deep inner work in a safe, loving, and authentic environment, I cannot recommend Ananda Lodge enough. I left with a renewed sense of peace, clarity, and gratitude that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Thank you to everyone at Ananda for creating such a beautiful sanctuary for healing. Pura Vida. ❤️🙏

63 Years Young & My First Medicine Journey
From the moment I arrived, Ananda Lodge felt like home.
The grounds are not only visually stunning, but energetically and intentionally curated to support deep healing and transformation. Every detail reflects mindfulness. From the beautiful private accommodations with indoor/outdoor showers, to the safe and nurturing maloka, nourishing aligned meals, and countless peaceful spaces for quiet reflection and integration.
Kim and Jason continue to evolve while remaining deeply grounded in their integrity and vision. That commitment is evident in every aspect of the experience, especially in the facilitators and shamans they invite to hold space.
This was my first experience with sacred medicine, and it exceeded every expectation. Michal and Emma are a truly magical team. Their wisdom, intuition, compassion, and presence allowed me to feel completely safe, deeply supported, and lovingly held throughout my entire journey.
If you are seeking a place where professionalism, integrity, safety, and genuine heart come together, I cannot recommend Ananda Lodge highly enough. It is a truly sacred space for healing, transformation, and coming home to yourself.
I left with profound gratitude... and I will absolutely be back.— Rev. Michlynn Walton Costa Rica/Canada

Mindful Microdoser Virtual Experience
This three month guided micro dose journey is a life changer for someone who is intuitively feeling that they are ready to make a change(s) in their life. I had just quit a stressful, soul-sucking job and wanted to completely switch gears and tap more into my creativity while working on my anxiety. This program is more than just the medicine, it is having a couple of individual sessions with Kimberly, who is great at listening and understanding at a deeper level. It's working within a group of other microdosers and meeting together in workshops every other week for two hours so you get learn together. The session workbooks are the best. They are full of practices and videos that combined with the medicine truly help you be the best version of yourself. I'm an introvert and thought I would rather do something alone but this program really made me the best version of myself. Dana and Kimberly are truly the best. This helped me more than years of therapy! Stephanie S.

Exceptional Property, hosts and facilitators!
**Review Title:** Exceptional Property, Hosts, and Facilitators
When I first contacted Ananda and its team, I wasn't even sure I wanted to attend a retreat. I was very undecided and not entirely clear on what I wanted to work on, other than improving my health and exploring a specific type of plant medicine.
Kimberly was incredibly patient, observant, and supportive throughout the process. She took the time to provide a variety of options and explain what each retreat and each medicine had to offer. She never prescribed or imposed her own opinion about which path she felt was best for me based on what I shared. Instead, she left the autonomy with me to decide what was right for my own journey, and I deeply respected the way she held that space.
Once I selected my retreat and arrived at the property, my first impression was that it was an absolute sanctuary. It felt like stepping into someone's imagination. The property is elegant, peaceful, and truly a piece of paradise. I could not have imagined a better setting for such a unique and meaningful experience. I was immediately greeted by the shaman and Jason, who helped me get settled and made me feel genuinely welcomed and comfortable from the moment I arrived.
As for the ceremony itself, the facilitators, the medicine, the safe container they created, and the carefully curated group of participants all contributed to an environment where I felt completely safe. That sense of safety gave me a huge invitation to fully lean into the experience and the work I had come there to do.
There was the right balance of encouragement, respect, trust, and challenge to push me beyond my comfort zone while always remaining in service of my highest good.
One of the most meaningful messages I will carry with me from this experience is this:
*I can do hard things. Nothing is permanent. When life circumstances or conditions change, I am absolutely capable and equipped to navigate them. It may not feel easy. It may not feel comfortable. Fear may be present, but none of those things define my capability.*
Thank you, Kimberly and Jason, for having the courage to create something that feels truly unique. It was very evident to me that your creativity, intention, and spirit are deeply imprinted throughout both the property and the experience. It is clear how much thought, care, and heart have gone into creating a space where people can safely do meaningful inner work.
Wishing you continued success.
Pura Vida! 🌺❤️🙏

This place is EVERYTHING ❤️❤️❤️
I cannot say enough about my experience at Ananda.
From the moment I saw their website through to the very last minute of the retreat, Ananda provided an authentic and meaningful experience that was everything I was looking for and more. They are truly committed to providing a healing space and meaningful guidance throughout your journey, which starts several weeks prior to your visit in the preparation phase, and for several weeks after your return home in the integration phase, both of which include super helpful guides and one-on-one video calls.
Kimberly, Jason, and Chase were with me every step of the way, providing a safe and nurturing space for my experience. I also can’t say enough about Camillo, who prepared healthy and DELICIOUS food that was exactly what I needed right when I needed it.
I could write a million more words and it still wouldn’t express how important this experience was for me. The whole Ananda team truly meets you where you are. I can’t wait to go back 😊❤️
