About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Two sacred medicines. One ceremonial arc. The vision you carry into the new year, finally clear.
W H O  T H I S  I S  F O R
You can feel the year turning. The next chapter has not yet been named. You are not in crisis. You have done real work on yourself. And still, something is not resolved. A direction that remains unclear. A knowing you can feel but cannot quite articulate. As December arrives, the quiet pressure intensifies: you want to enter January with clarity, not just intention.

DO YOU FIND YOURSELF:

Pulled in too many directions
Have vision without traction
You can feel the need for something to shift
You are always busy doing
You are ready to find yourself, hear yourself, and honor yourself again

Two of the world's most profound plant medicines, held within an unbroken indigenous ceremonial tradition, have the capacity to return you to your own knowing.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

You are ready for a depth of work that combines two sacred medicines into a single ceremonial container
You feel a creative, directional, or expressive capacity that remains blocked or unnamed
You are drawn to the intersection of ancestral lineage, ceremonial art, and personal transformation
You want to work with master practitioners who hold living indigenous traditions
You are willing to commit fully to the process, the group container, and what each day asks of you
You want to enter January with direction, not just intention

The medicine of vision. The medicine of the heart.
Psilocybin and San Pedro are not interchangeable. Each works through a different door. Together, in six days, they create a complete arc: dissolution and then clarity, opening and then grounding. This is the specific sequence Felipe and Adriana of Ikkaruna have refined over years of ceremonial practice.
Psilocybin | The House of Spheres | Daytime Ceremony
Psilocybin is the medicine of Costa Rica's living traditions. In the context of Ikkaruna's ceremonial framework, guided through music, song, and ritual art, it creates a temporary dissolution of the familiar self- narrative. The boundary between the known self and the deeper layers of the psyche softens. What lives beneath the noise surfaces. The House of Spheres ceremony is held at the family altar during the day, guided by Felipe and Adriana's original ceremonial songs and a practice refined through years of research in ritual therapeutic art. This is the opening: a first deep listening.
San Pedro (Wachuma) | The Chakana Altar | Nighttime Vigil
San Pedro is the sacred medicine of the Andes. A profound and powerful teacher, it operates over eight to twelve hours as a nighttime vigil. Working through the body rather than around it, the Chakana ceremony is a night of song and prayer guided by the Andean Chakana altar, the Stepped Cross, master symbol of Andean cosmovision. The group journeys through four times and spaces of the night in communion with Pachamama. San Pedro does not dissociate. It clarifies. What Psilocybin opened during the day, Wachuma roots into the body through the night as felt conviction.

Schedule

Retreat Schedule

Day 1 — Arrival & Grounding
Arrive at Ananda Lodge and settle into the land. An evening welcome circle introduces the group, the facilitators, and the week's intentions. Dietary guidelines, ceremony protocols, and the arc of the six days are reviewed together. The grounding begins before any medicine is taken.

Day 2 — The House of Spheres
The Psilocybin ceremony, held during the day. Guided by Felipe and Adriana's ceremonial songs, the family altar, and stories of origin. Individual dosage consultation is held prior. The ceremony is trauma-informed throughout and held as an offering to the spiritual world, guided by music, song, and ritual art. This is the opening of the arc, a first deep listening.

Day 3 — Integration & Going Deeper
The first full day of Ikkaruna's methodology. Morning sessions explore natural melody, rhythm and body, territorial identity, and the cosmology of sound. Afternoon practice includes voice and resonation practices and personal poetic writing. Individual consultations, cleansings, and therapies are available in the open spaces. The day closes by tending what has begun to emerge from the first ceremony.

Day 4 — The Chakana Ceremony
A nighttime vigil at the Chakana Altar. The group journeys through four times and spaces of the night in song, prayer, and communion with Pachamama. The medicine received across the week, through the first ceremony and through song, meets the embodied clarity of Wachuma. Felipe holds the Andean ancestral tradition; Adriana's voice as healer and singer guides the group through the night. This is often when the vision arrives fully.

Day 5 — Integration
A day held lightly. Individual consultations with Felipe and Adriana are available. Cleansing therapies and bodywork are offered. The grounds are open for solitary reflection, journaling, and creative expression. No structured group programming, only the space to integrate. Additional consultations, cleansings, and therapies available for a supplemental fee.

Day 6 — Closing & Departure
A morning closing circle to honor what each person found across the six days. The intentions carried into the new year are named and witnessed by the group. Departure follows. Post-immersion integration support from the Ananda team continues in the weeks ahead.

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 😊❤️
