"It's evident Ananda Lodge opened to truly assist others on their healing journey from a place of integrity and from the heart. Which I am so grateful for, as I have experienced other spaces that only treat it from a business perspective. Not only was my plant medicine experience profound, but the land and amenities are of top quality and comfort."

Ananda Lodge Meets You Where You Are

At Ananda Lodge, your transformation is supported, not forced. Like light passing through a prism, your experience here will gently refract your inner world so you can truly see yourself.

No matter where you are on your healing path, we will guide you down a safe and intentional path of transformation. We pay attention to every detail; that’s how we provide some of the highest quality and most individualized CARE in the industry

Our trauma-informed approach ensures that you will be
seen, heard, and supported without pressure, expectations, or comparison. 

We host no more than eight guests per retreat, giving you the space to process in privacy and connect when you’re ready.

"I have suffered and caused many emotional traumas, many physical traumas, and brain injury. I have tried many different options, but none have even come close to the healing and forgiveness I have received [from Ayahuasca] at Ananda."

Focus on Personal Integration

True healing happens before and after the ceremony, not just during it. We view the plant medicine experience as an inflection point: a moment of your light refracting through the prism of your plant medicine.

But the clarity it brings only becomes change through preparation and integration.

We support you months before and after your retreat. 

Our preparation helps you meet the medicine with awareness and intention

Afterward, we offer structured check-ins, integration calls, and practices to carry the light forward.

Plant Medicine Comes From Our Hearts

This Work is Deeply Personal.

The call to build a plant medicine center came after the confronting awareness of living unfulfilled lives. Kimberly being a survivor of sexual abuse, and Jason carrying the weight that only those on the front lines can know, together they made a choice to heal and transform with the support of sacred plant medicine.

Yet it wasn’t until Hurricane Ian destroyed their home that they were presented with an opportunity to dig deep and to take a leap of faith. A leap of faith that has brought their family to Costa Rica with a mission to help others find their way back home, back to themselves.

We, Kimberly and Jason, built Ananda Lodge with everything we had because we believe in this work with our whole hearts. We’ve walked this road, sometimes scared and alone. We’ve faced our own darkness, and will continue to do so, so that we may be better versions of ourselves, better parents, better members of our families, and better to our communities. We do this work for our ancestors and for those that cannot come to this work.

We are deeply honored to be stewards of the land where Ananda resides – a space brought to us to do this healing work for others seeking to bring light to their shadow. A space where healing happens in relation to each other, to nature, and to God.

This place is our home. We are family here. We’d be honored to share it with you and welcome you to our space.

A Safe, Comfortable Environment

Your environment matters. At Ananda Lodge, you’re not just held emotionally, you’re held physically by beauty, peace, and comfort. From the moment you step onto our land, you’ll feel it: the healing energy, the warmth, the intentionality.

Here’s what you can expect:
