Strongly recommend
I’ve been to a few retreats over the last few years and have done 14 ayahuasca ceremonies. This was my best retreat yet!! I cannot recommend this place enough. Every single detail was so organized and professional. I felt extremely safe at all times and taken care of in such a different way that I have NEVER felt before. Kimberly really cares about this work/healing and everyone who passes through. Since the retreats are limited to eight people, you really get that EXTRA care that you normally don’t receive. The rooms were so luxurious. I loved the outdoor shower in my room. The beds and linens were comfortable. The pool overlooking the view was beautiful. The private chefs were phenomenal. We were in awe with each meal that was served, so much thought and care put into each one. And it was always plentiful. The maestras were like none i have ever experienced. The one on one time with them was huge for me and helped me immensely with breakthroughs that I have been trying to work on for years. As well as the care team. They are trauma informed which was new for me but greatly assisted me in this journey. I learned soooo much about myself/body from the week that I was there. Having dinner and breakfast with all of them each day made me feel that much safer as well. By the end of this retreat we were genuinely like a little family and bonds that I will never forget. Truly grateful to Kimberly and her team. A life changing experience. Whether you’re a first timer or struggling to break ground on your intentions definitely come here!!

Tranquil, beautiful, and safe environment. Excellent food. A genuine, caring, supportive staff, with humor and grace. I can’t imagine there is a better place or program to unpack and move through emotional and physical challenges. I only hope I’ll be able to go back, and encourage anyone with the means and the desire for growth, to visit.

Ananda Lodge is such a serene and beautiful place. The owners take really good care of each participant and I could tell they put a lot of thought into the space they created. Retreats here are the experience of a lifetime and the staff were such wonderful, kind, empathetic people I honestly didn't want to leave. But each retreat comes to an end and I definitely plan on attending more retreats here just because the experience is so refreshing. I love the people and oh the food was the best I've ever had!

What a lovely adventure!
They had me at hello!

From the verbiage on the website, to the introductory call to the luxurious nature of the lodge and setting to the warmth of the staff - it was very close to perfect!

I felt so welcome, supported and nurtured. The food was deliciously wholesome and the attention to detail from black felt coat hangers to wood finishes was noticable.

The pièce de résistance was the medicine experience itself. I loved the intimate nature of the small group as well as the ability of the guides/teachers to step back and allow us to have our own experience yet still be “ight there” to catch and hold us when/if we needed them.

It was obvious that a lot of thought and love had been put into the whole experience.

I leave Amanda Lodge with a deep sense of peace, gratitude and appreciation for the whole team. This was my time to take a pause and invest in me, and Ananda Lodge exceeded my expectations.

Thank-you!

Life Changing Retreat
I recently attended an 8-day Ayahuasca retreat at Ananda Lodge. December 2024. It was one of the most amazing and life changing experiences of my life!

First, the people. Kim and Jason, owners of the lodge were incredibly kind and loving. They have put together a beautiful team of facilitators who were caring, sincere supportive and so capable. I developed insightful and personal relationships with each. Sammy, Rachel and Iggy.. You were all incredible. Thank you. The level of personal support is off the charts. Basically one support facilitator for each visitor. It was perfect!

Second, the lodge. How they managed to build such an incredible facility is a miracle. Not only beautiful, surrounded by wildlife and jungle but comfortable. 5 star all the way! The rooms, the grounds, the private spaces, the ceremonial spaces… I miss it all.

Third, the food! Wow! I felt like a new person after just a couple days of eating fresh, local, deliciously prepared foods. Veggies, fruits, fresh fish and chicken… the way we are supposed to eat and replenish our bodies.

I could go on and on…. If you are considering a retreat to explore your spirit, heal from past traumas or just reset your life… Ananda Lodge is the place to start. I will be back and can’t imagine trusting anyone else with such an important journey. Thank you to all!
