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 😊❤️

Beautiful healing experience
I did an Aya retreat here and it was amazing. What makes Ananda stand out from other places is their small group sizes and the amount of integration and care they put into your experience, even before you arrive and after you return home. The ceremony was run by an indigenous Shipibo shaman which gave that true authentic experience I was looking for and you get to directly connect and hangout with the shaman throughout your stay. They have comfortable rooms with a/c and beautiful views, an excellent chef that would make us healthy and delicious meals, and a warm staff all focused on your healing. There are many places in Costa Rica for plant medicine but Ananda is truly special and unique in their approach.

Life changing experience
I have done Ayahuasca in the Amazon with an outhouse and a communal shower with no running hot water. I have also done Aya at Rythmia a couple times- high end resort like environment. In my opinion, Ananda is the best of both worlds. Small group setting in the jungle, but beautiful rooms and well done space. And the fact that they flew in a Shapibo Shaman from Pulcalpa- you really couldn’t ask for more in a retreat. The amount of care that the owners have for each person that they host is beautiful. And I had an experience I’ve never had before- integration with the Shaman after every ceremony. That’s actually very rare in the retreat space. I will continue to send others their way because they have created a beautiful sacred place for ceremony. Not to mention the land itself holding divine energy. Your life will be forever changed.

Great People Truly invested in your growth
Kim and Jason were great people and truly care about your growth as a human being. It's a lot to cover in just a couple days but I have been able to incorporate a couple new tools in my toolbelt that didn't exist prior to the retreat.
