With a long history as a corporate C-suite executive, Dana intimately understands the effects of stress and burn out. In her final role as CCO and Head of Investor Relations for a publicly traded psychedelics company, she had the opportunity to explore the science, history, and transformative potential of psychedelics and from this began her own exploration with sacred medicine. Now, trained in psilocybin-assisted therapy, 5-MeO facilitation, microdose coaching, trauma-informed integration, sound healing, and more, she combines these modalities with transformational coaching to help others break free from what’s holding them back and flourish into their most vibrant, fulfilled selves.
Details of this retreat
The Invitation
You're not in crisis. You're just at capacity.
You have spent years holding it together — showing up, getting it done, taking care of everyone in your orbit before you take care of yourself. Nothing looks broken from the outside. It does not feel that way from the inside.
This circle is for the woman who felt the pull toward Reclamation, but for whom an eight-day immersion is not yet possible — and for any woman ready to begin this work from home. Not someone to be fixed. Someone to be recognized.
Running on empty and still showing up
Everyone's needs before your own
Doing everything right, still feeling flat
Disconnected from your own body
Watching other women transform, wondering if it's your turn
The right door, at the wrong time
The Promise
The same reclamation work, held from wherever you are.
Reclamation at Home is a guided Psilocybin microdose protocol, a sacred structure, and a circle of women moving through it beside you — built to do the nervous-system repair and self-reclamation work of the immersion without asking you to leave your life to begin it. For some women, this is the whole arc. For others, it is the doorway into a future immersion at Ananda Lodge.
A Proven Three-Phased Approach to Lasting Transformation
Foundation & Setting Your Sacred Direction: Establish your personal blueprint for change. This is when you plant seeds—not just intentions, but actual neurological foundations for the person you're becoming.
Deepening the Wisdom Body & Cultivating Inner Terrain: Cultivate an authentic relationship with your inner wisdom body. This phase nurtures the seeds planted in Phase I, creating safe space and tools for deeper healing to emerge.
Emergence & Embodied Transformation: Step into your BEcoming. Complete this journey feeling the truth of embodiment and alignment with your whole essence.

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 😊❤️
