About this Retreat
Anna Krishtal is the founder of Your Ketamine Coach and host of the Ketamine Connections Podcast. For 20 years, yoga has been her grounding practice, and for 12 of those years, she has shared it with others as a teacher. It was yoga that brought her to study and master the subconscious mind and I she has guided hundreds of sessions of deep transformation as a hypnotherapist since 2018. Whether working with psychedelics or other altered states of consciousness, she has seen the profound shifts that are possible with deep subconscious work. She believes in the power of nature—whether it’s in the garden or on a hike—to connect us to our deeper selves, and I’m excited to work with the Jungle Gayborhood to support you on your path to transformation.
Nai Kaya been cosmotroping the realms for 30 years with her primary focus on her own personal healing through the Shipibo tradition of plants for the past 20 years. She has had the privilege of experientially studying Amazonian traditions in depth with the Lopez family in the Amazon while integrating other modalities of energy and sound healing into her work. She also chants in Quechua, Lakota, and weaves sound healing into her ceremonies. Her focus is connecting people to the presence of plant teachers to receive the magic of natural medicines for healing ailments in the body, spirit, and soul. Nai is inspired by and has dieted extensively and sings from the energies of the trees and birds. Her deepest relationship and bond while studying vegetalismo is with the sacred bioluminescent medical tree that answers to the name Noya Rao to the Shipibo people. Her healing songs come directly from this rare and sacred tree. Nai has been leading and holding space in this tradition for 10 years and has apprenticed with plants and fungi for 30 years.
Nai is also a certified sound healing therapist, is trauma informed, and holds space with laughter and humility. When she is not in ceremony, she spends her time advising influential leaders in the psychedelic movement, advocating for psychedelic policy, supporting grass roots community healing, making potions of heart and magic, studying new healing modalities, gardening, and flirting with the divine.

All people assigned female at birth and/or currently identifying as female; this means inclusive of all trans folks and all female bodied NB folks.
Our intention is to create a sacred space where you can fully embrace your true self. This retreat isn’t just about deep work—it’s about doing that work so we can have fun, celebrate, and live joyfully. Through a blend of hypnotherapy, yoga, 🍄 sacred plant ceremonies and somatic practices, you’ll release old patterns and integrate powerful insights and new ways of being. And because healing and transformational growth is accelerated in community, we're bringing in dance parties, connection exercises, hikes down to the waterfall, and plenty of laughter.
In a world that often tells us to dim our light, this retreat is an act of rebellion. It’s a chance to celebrate who we are, surrounded by a diverse and inclusive community of like-minded queer womxn who uplift and inspire each other. This is the time to release and to grow… your time to experience the freedom and joy that are your birthright with your queer kin.
What To Expect
The purpose of this retreat is to bring you to the place of deep peace within yourself that inspires more joy into your daily life. What is deep transformational work for, other than to have more play and fun? On this transformational retreat we will dig deep, excavate, and transform - not for it’s own sake, but rather to build a bridge to the experience of life fulfillment.
Come ready to deepen into your most joyful expression of life through time in community, time in nature, and time with sacred plants.

Come to embody sacred, devotional, elements of love that transforms relationship with self into pure self love.

PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT: Anna, Nai and the Jungle Gayborhood aim to inspire personal exploration, radical self-expression, and a sense of connection - internally, with community, and with nature. We actively cultivate practices that support these goals by consciously exploring embodiment practices, authentic relating, somatic movement therapy, shamanism and plant ceremonies.
To create a predictable and safe environment conducive to this type of healing, growth, reflection, and expansion, we ask all that come to our home align around these community agreements.
