You Know What Needs to Change.
The Medicine Shows You the Truth. Twelve Weeks Give You the Time to Live It.
Psilocybin calls the curious, self-aware seeker
Reconnection to who you are beneath the pattern.
To stop running the pattern you already understand, and practice choosing from who you are beneath it, week after week, until it holds.
My intention coming was to have better communication with my partner. I think our relationship has completely changed, flipped upside down and turned around.
You are ready to stop starting over and build something that lasts.
You have glimpsed what is possible, in ceremony or elsewhere, and you want to live from it, not just remember it.
You understand your patterns, and you are ready for support to change them.
You want structure and someone walking beside you, not another experience on your own.
You are ready to be held to your own word.
Integration over Intensity.
For those seeking integration over intensity, and a path of empowerment to follow.
Four weeks to prepare. Eight days of ceremony. Eight weeks to anchor it into your life. Your guardians, your cohort and your microdose ally walk every week of it with you.

The ceremonies show you the truth. Attune and Anchor help you live it.
Attune · 4 weeks before
You arrive knowing what you came to change. You name it, prepare your body and mind, and meet your guardians and cohort before the first ceremony.
Anchor · 8 weeks after
You come home with someone walking beside you. The commitments you named in Attune become what you practice and track, until what you saw is how you live.
Most people do not need another breakthrough. They need the weeks after it.
Your guardians, across all twelve weeks.
Your guardians walk with you from intake to your final Anchor session, listening closely enough to name the pattern with you. On this path, they are also your medicine carriers.
- Guardian: walks with you for all twelve weeks, in personal calls, group sessions and ceremony.
- Medicine carrier: holds the medicine and the ceremony during the eight days.

Hold your place with a 50% deposit. Two partial scholarships are available in every cohort.
What your twelve weeks hold.
- A clear path in. You arrive knowing what you came to change, prepared in body and mind, already in relationship with the medicine and your guardians.
- Eight days held with care. Three ceremonies, breathwork, integration and nourishment in Playa Grande, so your only job is to be present.
- Accountability that holds after the high fades. A guardian who knows your story, personal sessions to track your commitments, and a cohort that notices when you slip.
- Tools for an ordinary Tuesday. Practices, guidebooks and a community that carry the change into how you decide, speak and love.

Frequently asked questions.
What are the psilocybin ceremonies like?
There are three: an evening ceremony to build trust with the medicine, a dawn ceremony as the light comes up over the jungle, and a final evening held with live medicine music. Your medicine carriers and guardians are present throughout, with time to rest and integrate after each.
I have worked with psilocybin before. Why twelve weeks?
Because the experience is rarely what is missing. Most people come to us after a breakthrough that faded. Four weeks prepare the ground, and eight weeks after the retreat give you structure, a guardian and a cohort to hold you to what you saw.
Do I need prior experience with psilocybin?
No. What matters is readiness. Attune builds your relationship with the medicine, your guardians and your cohort before you arrive.
What is the microdose, and is it required?
A psilocybin microdose is offered as an ally through Attune and Anchor, an invitation and not a requirement. It pauses 5 to 7 days before the retreat and may resume after your first Anchor session, as your guardian guides. Ordering steps arrive after your registration is confirmed.
I take medication. Can I still join?
Every medication and your health history are reviewed with you, confidentially, at intake. Some medications are not compatible with psilocybin, and your guardian will speak with you honestly about what is right for you.
How do I prepare?
You receive a psilocybin preparation guide, and your four Attune sessions walk you through intention, the body and the lens of observation. Your guardian offers personal invitations for preparation on your two individual calls.
What happens if I miss a session?
Every call has notes and a summary shared with the group afterward, along with resources, so you stay connected to the work.
How do I get to Ananda Lodge?
A roundtrip group shuttle is included from Liberia airport (LIR) on arrival day and back on departure day. Times are shared after registration.
You already know what needs to change. Now live it.
Twelve weeks to come home different, in ways the people you love can see.
