Felix (Soi Pino in Shipibo) first began his medicine journey attempting to heal from Lyme disease contracted in 2008. At its worst, he experienced a wide array of symptoms: anxiety attacks, memory loss, brain fog, and organ failure. After little success with conventional treatment, his research led him to consider exploring ayahuasca as an alternative. In 2013 Felix traveled to Peru to receive the medicine, and after experiencing relief from his symptoms, decided to stay on long term to learn more about traditional healing modalities.Felix has spent the last five years working closely with the medicine and the Shipibo people. For the first two years of his apprenticeship Felix worked at well-established amazonian center assisting over 1000 people in ceremonies. Felix later left to go to Pucallpa receive more in depth healing and instruction with his maestro. Through the medicine he was able to find incredible healing and relief from the pains of Lyme. Through his maestro’s lineage, he has been given full permission from his teacher to serve medicine and to provide healing diets. With the blessing of his teacher Felix holds this medicine with great love and respect, and has a deep passion for service.
Safa has been dedicated to the path of ayahuasca for almost two decades. After an extensive apprenticeship with the Shipibo-Conibo in the Amazon, her and her husband run a centre in Peru offering retreats and dietas since 2019. She has also dedicated over twenty years and thousands of client hours working with the subtle energy medicine, which is a unique lens and part of her ceremonial offering.Safa continues to receive guidance from deeply experienced teachers in non-duality, to guide revelation into something more abiding. Opening to greater availability to life, which she brings into her work. Plant medicine from this lens can be a very visceral, direct teacher - helping us to recall home the pieces that have forgotten our true nature as love.

Details of this retreat
THE BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDS
Intimate experience limited to 10 guests
This is the first time Ananda Lodge has brought together both Amazonian and Andean lineages under one container—four master carriers working in concert to guide experienced practitioners through a cross-cosmological healing journey.
This retreat exists for those who have already walked with these plants and are ready to go beyond single-lineage work into synthesis territory where few containers operate.
Over 10 days, you'll work with two medicines that have each shaped you independently—now sequenced to unlock deeper layers of integration only possible when both traditions converge.
Ananda Lodge brings its transformative approach to the ancestral homeland of these sacred medicines, partnering with The Source Peru to create an unprecedented healing journey that honors both ancient wisdom and modern therapeutic approaches.
Master practitioners from each tradition will hold space for your work across both cosmologies. This isn't ceremonial tourism. This is depth work in the geography where these practices originated and continue uninterrupted.
Luxury Inclusions
Private single accommodations at The Source Peru for 9 nights
Four sacred medicine ceremonies guided by experienced, trauma-informed facilitators
Round trip shuttle to The Source from Cusco
Traditional Andean Despacho ceremony with Q'ero elders
Half-day luxury spa experience at Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel & Wellness
Two pre-retreat somatic preparation sessions (before arrival)
Two individual onsite navigation sessions during the retreat
Three post-retreat integration sessions (after returning home)
Farm-to-table organic meals prepared with locally-sourced ingredients
Natural Springs cold plunge
Onsite laundry services
The Convergence of Traditions
The convergence of Amazonian vine medicine and Andean cactus wisdom creates synthesis unavailable in single-lineage containers. You've worked each medicine separately. This immersion reveals what emerges when both traditions operate in coordinated sequence under carriers who understand cross-pollination at the lineage level.
Is This Convergence Right for You?
Medicine Experience
You don't need orientation to ayahuasca or San Pedro, you have working relationships with each. You're seeking a container filled with other experienced practitioners where the collective field operates at depth from ceremony one.
Synergistic Weaving
You've witnessed what ayahuasca reveals. You know San Pedro's territory. Now you're asking what becomes available when both medicines work you in coordinated sequence under carriers who understand cross-tradition dialogue.
Teachers and Mentors vs Facilitators
You recognize that working with dedicated teachers across 10 days creates mentorship unavailable in standard retreat models. You're seeking medicine carries with depth and who can answer the questions that arise three ceremonies deep when you're working synthesis territory.
The Wisdom of Sacred Valley
You understand altitude, land, and proximity to origin sites amplify medicine work. The 100-foot waterfall, the 10,000-foot elevation, the Incan energy grid—these aren't amenities. They're co-facilitators.
Intimacy = Depth
Ten participants maximum means the medicine carriers can track each person's arc across all four ceremonies. You recognize that intimate containers allow the Maestr@s to calibrate ceremony sequences based on what emerges in the collective field. Depth requires this ratio.
Cosmological Integrity
You've researched dual-tradition retreats and found most either lack authentic lineage or treat the combination as novelty. You're investing in one of the rare containers designed specifically for synthesis-level integration.
TRAUMA-INFORMED SOMATIC CARE
Integrate your medicine experiences through body-centered therapeutic approaches deepening your connection to Self.
Rather than just “having experiences,” our approach helps you process and integrate the medicine teachings at the level of the body, where true transformation occurs.
Your journey includes:
Two Pre-Retreat Somatic Preparation Sessions: Personalized guidance to prepare your nervous system for the medicine work
Individualized Support During Ceremony: Work 1:1 with our skilled Huachumera and somatic specialist designed to support your process of transformation
Two Individual Onsite Navigation Sessions: Skilled facilitation to help process emotions, sensations, and insights that arise

Women's Psilocybin 8 Day Retreat
Ananda Lodge is a sacred space that holds the wisdom of land. Kimberly, Jay, Dana and all of the staff created a safe, warm environment for plant medicine to work its intention. I began the most incredible journey there that has opened up my creativity and joy in avenues I had never considered. I am deeply grateful for this experience. The food and accommodations were also incredible as were the friends I met along the journey. I will never forget this trip. It was truly the best thing I could have ever done for myself.

If this experience calls, go ahead and respond.
If you’re looking for an experience of integrity, deeply rooted in somatic practices, yoga philosophy, and shamanic wisdom, this is the Retreat for you. Not only is the location a safe space, the facilitation creates a container for the most self reflective and healing journey of your life. The property is beautiful. The accommodations are clean and stunning, I felt so comfortable here. The land it’s beautiful and the animal visitors are so exciting to see. The talented and diverse chef created the most delicious and nurturing meals, accommodating dietary requests. I cannot wait to join another Retreat. The facilitators also support the local community and honor indigenous practices with great reverence.

Integrity, reverence, authenticity.
I have been in a spiritual and healing journey since 2012. I’ve been through multiple yoga teacher trainings, and have spent years in spaces with facilitators. I am being honest when I say I have never been so comfortable in the presence of a teacher as I am with Kimberly. She embodies somatic awareness and practices, demonstrates great reverence for indigenous practices and weaves together scientific evidence with an ancient philosophies in such a way that everything makes complete sense. I am fortunate enough to be working through a three month immersion with her online as well as I attended a one week integrative somatic experience that allowed me to explore what the nervous system can feel like when it’s not in the state of flight or fight. She honors and embodies the work that she shares, and you can truly see that in the way that she holds space and sets boundaries, and shares expectations of you meeting her halfway in your own work.
She pauses in presence during communication and practices, active listening, and emphasizes the art of rephrasing and reframing to help shift patterns in our lives.
Thank you, Kimberly. Aho.

Magical
From the moment I stepped onto the land at Ananda Lodge, I felt welcomed. The warmth began at the gate — being greeted with kindness, having my luggage carried in — and it continued in every small detail of the experience. There is something about this place that immediately makes you feel safe, seen, and held.
During my stay, I shared this journey with three incredible women, and together we were supported by the most compassionate and attentive team I could have imagined. Our host, Kim, carries a depth of care that is rare. The level of presence and genuine support she offers is something I will never forget - true compassion. Throughout the ceremonies, I felt protected and guided in a way that allowed me to go deeper than I thought possible.
The Shipibo maestra’s icaros were powerful beyond words — ancestral, precise, and deeply moving. And Mihao, whose knowledge of plant medicine is clearly a life path and devotion, brought a beautiful balance to the space. He is not only a gifted musician, but a multidimensional medicine man whose presence feels steady, wise, and grounded. The way he holds the masculine within ceremony created a container that felt complete and safe.
The second ceremony was the most challenging for me — physically and emotionally — yet even in its intensity, I felt supported at every step. Without the care and attentiveness of the team, I don’t know if I could have navigated it the way I did. That support made all the difference.
The food, prepared with such respect for the dieta, was nourishing, abundant, and lovingly made. Every meal felt intentional, fresh, and aligned with the process we were in. We were truly cared for like queens.
Ananda Lodge holds a space where healing can unfold naturally — gently when possible, powerfully when needed. I leave with gratitude in my heart and a steadier, softer feeling in my body.
This is a place I will return to, with trust and an open heart.

Eight-Day, Seven-Night Ayahuasca Retreat
What unfolded for me at Ananda Lodge was extraordinary, leaving me profoundly grateful and more whole than when I arrived. Having sat in ceremonies elsewhere, I can say with confidence that the care, coordination, and thoughtfulness Kim and Jason offer truly stand apart. I look forward to returning.
The ceremonies were profoundly healing - transformative and illuminating in ways that continue to unfold. The medicine met me in ways that are difficult to describe. I was in awe of the ancient wisdom carried through the Shipibo tradition, and of Maestro’s steady, anchoring presence throughout. The depth and sacredness of the experience are beyond words.
Kim and Mihau shaped a space of safety, intention, and reverence that allowed me to travel through time and possibility - and land in new beliefs. They were deeply attuned and present, and we always felt supported and seen. Their devotion to the medicine is not a role, it is a lifestyle. The way they show up is authentic, with roots also in humility and service. They prioritize the well‑being of every person there.
The space itself is stunning, thoughtfully and sustainably designed, with luxury accommodations, ocean views, and open-air gathering spaces. All around, the jungle hums with the chatter of birds, monkeys, insects, and the scuttling of geckos.
The food was remarkable; whole, nurturing, fresh, and prepared with love by Camilo. Every detail reflects his creativity and passion. It tastes so good you will return for seconds – perhaps even thirds!
I went for the medicine and left with new friends - mi familia. We witnessed one another, grew together, and now share a connection that will stay with us for life. We are birds that took flight.
Thank you all so much!
A very special thanks to Irie, the Jungle Poodle.
