About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Two sacred medicines. One ceremonial arc. The vision you carry into the new year, finally clear.
W H O  T H I S  I S  F O R
You can feel the year turning. The next chapter has not yet been named. You are not in crisis. You have done real work on yourself. And still, something is not resolved. A direction that remains unclear. A knowing you can feel but cannot quite articulate. As December arrives, the quiet pressure intensifies: you want to enter January with clarity, not just intention.

DO YOU FIND YOURSELF:

Pulled in too many directions
Have vision without traction
You can feel the need for something to shift
You are always busy doing
You are ready to find yourself, hear yourself, and honor yourself again

Two of the world's most profound plant medicines, held within an unbroken indigenous ceremonial tradition, have the capacity to return you to your own knowing.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

You are ready for a depth of work that combines two sacred medicines into a single ceremonial container
You feel a creative, directional, or expressive capacity that remains blocked or unnamed
You are drawn to the intersection of ancestral lineage, ceremonial art, and personal transformation
You want to work with master practitioners who hold living indigenous traditions
You are willing to commit fully to the process, the group container, and what each day asks of you
You want to enter January with direction, not just intention

The medicine of vision. The medicine of the heart.
Psilocybin and San Pedro are not interchangeable. Each works through a different door. Together, in six days, they create a complete arc: dissolution and then clarity, opening and then grounding. This is the specific sequence Felipe and Adriana of Ikkaruna have refined over years of ceremonial practice.
Psilocybin | The House of Spheres | Daytime Ceremony
Psilocybin is the medicine of Costa Rica's living traditions. In the context of Ikkaruna's ceremonial framework, guided through music, song, and ritual art, it creates a temporary dissolution of the familiar self- narrative. The boundary between the known self and the deeper layers of the psyche softens. What lives beneath the noise surfaces. The House of Spheres ceremony is held at the family altar during the day, guided by Felipe and Adriana's original ceremonial songs and a practice refined through years of research in ritual therapeutic art. This is the opening: a first deep listening.
San Pedro (Wachuma) | The Chakana Altar | Nighttime Vigil
San Pedro is the sacred medicine of the Andes. A profound and powerful teacher, it operates over eight to twelve hours as a nighttime vigil. Working through the body rather than around it, the Chakana ceremony is a night of song and prayer guided by the Andean Chakana altar, the Stepped Cross, master symbol of Andean cosmovision. The group journeys through four times and spaces of the night in communion with Pachamama. San Pedro does not dissociate. It clarifies. What Psilocybin opened during the day, Wachuma roots into the body through the night as felt conviction.

Schedule

Retreat Schedule

Day 1 — Arrival & Grounding
Arrive at Ananda Lodge and settle into the land. An evening welcome circle introduces the group, the facilitators, and the week's intentions. Dietary guidelines, ceremony protocols, and the arc of the six days are reviewed together. The grounding begins before any medicine is taken.

Day 2 — The House of Spheres
The Psilocybin ceremony, held during the day. Guided by Felipe and Adriana's ceremonial songs, the family altar, and stories of origin. Individual dosage consultation is held prior. The ceremony is trauma-informed throughout and held as an offering to the spiritual world, guided by music, song, and ritual art. This is the opening of the arc, a first deep listening.

Day 3 — Integration & Going Deeper
The first full day of Ikkaruna's methodology. Morning sessions explore natural melody, rhythm and body, territorial identity, and the cosmology of sound. Afternoon practice includes voice and resonation practices and personal poetic writing. Individual consultations, cleansings, and therapies are available in the open spaces. The day closes by tending what has begun to emerge from the first ceremony.

Day 4 — The Chakana Ceremony
A nighttime vigil at the Chakana Altar. The group journeys through four times and spaces of the night in song, prayer, and communion with Pachamama. The medicine received across the week, through the first ceremony and through song, meets the embodied clarity of Wachuma. Felipe holds the Andean ancestral tradition; Adriana's voice as healer and singer guides the group through the night. This is often when the vision arrives fully.

Day 5 — Integration
A day held lightly. Individual consultations with Felipe and Adriana are available. Cleansing therapies and bodywork are offered. The grounds are open for solitary reflection, journaling, and creative expression. No structured group programming, only the space to integrate. Additional consultations, cleansings, and therapies available for a supplemental fee.

Day 6 — Closing & Departure
A morning closing circle to honor what each person found across the six days. The intentions carried into the new year are named and witnessed by the group. Departure follows. Post-immersion integration support from the Ananda team continues in the weeks ahead.

Where My Soul Found Its Way Home
The Empowered Path Retreat--I came to Ananda Lodge looking to go deeper into my own healing work, this time through plant medicine, and after one phone call with Kimberly, it was an easy decision. From the moment I arrived, their intention was palpable--in the quiet design of every space, from the sitting area to the maloca to the outdoor spaces meant for both community and stillness with nature. Kimberly, Jason, Dana, and the whole team held that intention with such care, offering one-on-one guidance after several of my ceremonies that made all the difference. That care extended well beyond the retreat itself, too--four weeks of preparation beforehand and three months of integration support afterward, with group calls and one-on-one sessions held online to help me carry the experience forward. I left with a true sense of self-acceptance and a felt understanding of what empowerment really means--being blanketed in unconditional love, and realizing how much love I have to give in return. It truly felt like stepping into another realm, heaven found here on earth. I will carry this experience with me always, and I hope anyone reading this finds their own way to Ananda Lodge.

Amazing experience!!
I cannot recommend this more highly . Kimberly and Dana and Jason made me feel extremely comfortable and safe throughout the retreat. I did not have any spiritual experience and was not sure what to expect from the medicine and the ceremonies - I will admit I was a bit skeptical. Given all that - I left Ananda feeling like a new person. Kimberly and Dana held space for everyone and allowed us each to experience the medicine and ceremonies at our own pace. I arrived on my own and left having shared a deeply personal experience with people I love.

This experience at Ananda changed my way of being. I learned to trust and value myself. I was held in space gently and intentionally, and felt challenged to merge this experience with my old thoughts. I learned a great deal about how to protect my spiritual being and continue to evolve. Everything during my stay was attended to with great compassion.

Pura Vida
I attended the 8 day women’s reclamation psilocybin retreat sep 2026 and HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Ananda lodge for your next spiritual and psychedelic experience. The accommodations were gorgeous, comfortable, immaculate and restorative. The private chef Camilo creates pure magic in the kitchen and I am forever grateful for the intentionality he pored into every meal. The ceremony space was enchanting and full of life and the 3 separate journeys were all different but aligned with the elemental and chakra themes we were learning about. My favorites: a cacao ceremony with a wonderful local woman’s named Marien (hope I spelled her name correctly), sound bath and rhythmic explorations by co-owner Kimberly, live music during the final ceremony, water color art class with a talented local artist name Sophie, live music during the final ceremony and 2 trips to the beach to swim and let the waves wash away anything that was no longer serving us. Kimberly, Dana H and Dana M were the BEST medicine women I could have ever hoped for and will always be in my heart. They will forever be in my heart. They created such a sense of safety, and understanding, that I believe is unmatched. Their knowledge of the medicine and all things within their unique powers are beyond description. They introduced me to all of the possibilities in the world that I’ve been previously unaware of and can’t wait to explore.

As an army veteran who flew helicopters in 3 different combat deployments to Iraq spanning 3 years of my 27 year career, I came to Ananda feeling stressed, discouraged, in physical pain and burned out. I’m leaving with so much lightness, the ability to help regulate my own nervous system through tools I learned, more in tuned with my body and a little less pain and a reset nervous system. I used to call all of this “woo-woo” but now it’s just pure God given magic that we all have access too. Don’t hesitate to inquire about their military and first responder scholarships if money is a barrier. I can’t recommend this enough! It’s way better than any talk therapy of medicine I’ve ever experienced.

Ananda is a Miracle
I came in search of 'freedom' and I left realizing freedom is within me. I gave all of my attention to this experience. From the moment it was brought to my attention as a possibility to it's continuing manifestation. My experience was profound and personal. I felt safe and supported throughout my time at Ananda. If all you did was come to partake of Chef Camilo's amazing food and sleep in your luxurious room you'd leave satiated. A special thank you to Norwin who was there for us each night and in the early morning with coffee-thank you. The facilitators are world renown. My journey was transformative. It's beyond what I have words for. What I can say is that I gave myself to the process, I trusted, and the experience I received was once-in-a-lifetime gift. My intention was to find 'freedom'. I left understanding freedom is inside me. The medicine continues to work in my life since leaving my experience at Ananda in incredibly positive ways. Beyond freedom, I am newly in love with my life. I am living in the moment. I am feeling kinder and more patient and loving to others. I found gratitude, acceptance and peace. Thank you Kimberly, Dana [Day-na] and Dana [Dahna].
