About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

ARE YOU A WOMAN WHO...


Is in the thick of perimenopause & menopause and feeling the shifts?
You're experiencing unpredictable periods, intense mood swings, sleep disruption, anxiety, or brain fog - and you're tired of being told "this is just part of getting older." You're ready to honor this transition as the sacred passage it truly is.
Feels like you're losing yourself in the chaos of change?
One day you feel like yourself, the next you don't recognize your emotions, your body, your reactions. The identity you've carried for decades is shifting faster than you can keep up. You're ready to find solid ground amidst the storm and reclaim your power.
Craves natural, holistic support beyond "wait and see"?
You've tried supplements, lifestyle changes, maybe hormone therapy - perhaps they've helped, perhaps not. You're curious about plant medicine and herbalism as allies for this unpredictable transition and ready to access deep healing from within.


THE PERFECT TIMING FOR TRANSFORMATION
June 20-27, 2026
Season of Illumination & Renewal
Summer Solstice Power

Begin your journey on the Summer Solstice - the longest day of the year and a potent time of peak solar energy. Just as the sun reaches its zenith before shifting, you're at the sacred threshold between your fertile years and your wisdom years. Harness this powerful turning point energy to navigate perimenopause with intention.

Honoring the In-between

The solstice marks nature's pivotal moment between expansion and harvest - perfectly mirroring your internal world, the "in-between" phase. You're not who you were, not yet who you'll become. This retreat honors this powerful, transformative middle ground.

Fire Season Medicine

Summer's fire element perfectly matches the internal chaos of perimenopause - hot flashes, rage, anxiety, the burning away of old identities. Rather than fighting your body's intensity, you'll learn to work WITH the fire - transforming it from discomfort into fuel for your becoming.

Peak Vitality Integration

As nature displays her fullest expression of life force, you'll tap into your own renewed vitality beneath the perimenopausal symptoms. Return home with 8 days of profound healing, perfectly timed to carry the light and clarity of solstice into the abundant months ahead.

Navigating the Shift

You'll complete your journey on June 27th, just as the sun begins its slow descent toward harvest season. Like the solstice shift, perimenopause is about learning to navigate change with grace - honoring what's ending while stepping toward the wisdom-rich season ahead.
WHAT MAKES THIS EXPERIENCE UNLIKE ANYWHERE ELSE?
Potent 5am Ceremony
While others offer evening-only ceremonies, we harness the optimal brain wave states for healing that occur at dawn. You'll journey with psilocybin as the sun rises, followed by a meticulously crafted 2-hour sound healing experience designed to harmonize each energy center. This unique combination of sunrise medicine work with vibrational healing creates an extraordinarily powerful healing container found nowhere else.
Perimenopause-Specific Herbal Wisdom
Over 8 transformative days, we methodically restore balance to your entire energy body - from root to crown. Each day combines herbal wisdom with modern somatic practices, giving you practical tools and allies to assess and rebalance your body long after you return home.
Systematic Energy Center Restoration
We will address the specific energetic upheaval of perimenopause - from root (security amidst unpredictability) to crown (spiritual awakening through chaos). Each day combines ancient wisdom with somatic practices tailored to the perimenopausal body and nervous system, giving you practical tools to navigate this transition with grace.
Intimate Luxury in Paradise
Maximum 8 women. Ocean-view king suites with artisanal furnishings. Private chef meals. This isn't a crowded retreat - it's a bespoke healing journey in eco-luxury.
Three Unique Psilocybin Journeys


Ceremony 1: Gentle introduction to build nervous system readiness

Women’s Huachuma Retreat
I had a truly blissful 7 days at Ananda Lodge. The owners Kimberly and Jason have created a beautiful space for the seeker to explore in their own way. Yes, the experience centered for me around the bliss-inducing and loving effects of huachuma but it was so much more. Prior to drinking the medicine there is an extended period of time to set our intention(s) and to meditate. Nikki was our huachumera (the shaman who gave us the huachuma) and she was there supporting us throughout the day of each of the 3 ceremonies. She offered us sagacious wisdom and warmth that was wrapped up with humor. All personalized to our individual needs. The experience was deep and subtle and profoundly blissful. It is now 9 days since my last ceremony and I still find it much easier to be present, calm and relaxed. I came with the hope that I would have a spiritual awakening and be at peace. (Others came with different goals)The medicine, the accepting and spiritual environment of Ananda allowed me to find an inner peace - maybe the spiritual awakening will happen at my next stay:)

An Experience Way Beyond Expectations
I had one ceremony with psilosybin and it was one of the most beautiful and sublime experiences of my life. Jason and Kimberly took us ( me an 2 others) on a journey that was enhanced with music, spiritual contemplation and personal energy work with the sound from chimes, singing bowls and gongs. It was pure bliss. This sense of peace and calm I feel 36 hours after the ceremony is new for me. Words cannot describe this holistic experience. I will be attending the 8 day woman’s huachama retreat later today and will have more to say, I’m sure.
