The invitation

This is not a brochure. It is an invitation.

You have spent years holding things together: for your work, your family, the people who lean on you. You have done the inner work, read the books, kept going. And still, something quiet in you is asking for more than maintenance. It is asking to come home.

This immersion is for the woman at a crossroads. Not someone to be fixed, but someone to be recognized. We hold space without judgment for your story and your process, at your own pace, in a circle small enough that you are never a face in a crowd.

The medicine

Psilocybin, held with reverence.

Psilocybin softens the walls we build to survive and lets us meet ourselves with honesty and tenderness. But the medicine is only part of the work. Meaningful change happens not only in the mind, but through the body and the nervous system. That is why every ceremony here is wrapped in trauma-informed, somatic support, from the first breath to the last.

Why women

Held in a circle of women.

Our founder, Kimberly, is a survivor. She knows, in her body, what it takes to feel safe enough to let go, and how rare that safety can be. This circle is her answer: a women-only container built on empowerment through self-discovery and community.

Here, the work honors the unique lifecycles a woman moves through. There is nothing to perform and no one to convince. Only women, holding women, in a space made for the truth.

In their words

What women carry home.

"I felt extremely safe at all times, and taken care of in a way I had never felt before."
Jasmine · Returning Guest
"This experience reached a place in me that had needed healing for a very long time. I feel more alive, grateful, and full of love than I have in my entire life."
Kim · Women's Circle
"I was taken care of in a way I had never felt before. Every part of me was seen."
Women's Circle · 2025
"The sound provided a sonic architecture for my journey, allowing me to surrender more fully and access places within myself that might otherwise remain protected."
Women's Circle · 2025
"This land is truly restorative. If you are feeling the call to do real inner work and reconnect with who you really are, Ananda is where you want to be."
Christina · Women's Circle
"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 tune with my body, a little less pain and a reset nervous system."
Jennifer C. · U.S. Army Veteran · Reclamation 2026

The arc of care

Prepare. Immerse. Integrate.

Most retreats focus on the ceremony alone. We believe lasting change needs a complete arc, and that the days before and the months after matter as much as the night itself.

Phase one · Prepare

Before you arrive

Three personal preparation sessions before you arrive: a thorough intake of your history, intentions set through the lens of somatic psychology, and an online orientation with your circle, so you arrive already held.

Phase two · Immerse

Seven nights

Seven nights in an intimate, women-only container. A heart-opening cacao ceremony, three uniquely designed psilocybin journeys, and a 5am sunrise ceremony with sound healing therapy to accompany and deepen the work with psilocybin, alongside daily energy-center restoration, breathwork, voice activation, art therapy and meals from our private chef.

Phase three · Integrate

The months after

Three months of personal integration work, a virtual group session, and ongoing resources for integration support.

The ceremonies

Three nights, three doorways.

Each of the three journeys is designed for where you are in the week: building trust, then depth, then connection. You are supported in body and breath from the first to the last.

Ceremony one · Building nervous-system readiness & trust

Opening the Door

A gentle, carefully calibrated first dose: learning the language of the medicine. The focus is establishing safety in the body, beginning to recognize adaptive patterns, and building trust with the plant ally, the facilitators and the circle. Facilitators stay close, offering somatic support throughout.

Ceremony two · The dawn difference

The 5am Journey

Our signature ceremony begins at 5am, when the brain naturally drops into the theta states essential for deep healing. You begin as the sun rises and nature wakes; sound frequencies are introduced to support release and transcendence. Silence and sound become doorways into the subtle.

Ceremony three · Lemon Tek & sacred connection

Community & Music

Our final ceremony uses the Lemon Tek method for a more focused experience, journeyed alongside the circle with live medicine musicians shaping the sonic landscape. The emphasis is connection: to yourself, to the group, to the healing that has unfolded. Traditional Amazonian hapé is available for those who feel called.

The signature ceremony

Why we begin at 5am.

In the early-morning hours your brain naturally produces more theta brainwaves, the state reached in deep meditation, REM sleep and flow. Less information crowds the mind, and the threshold between conscious and unconscious is at its thinnest. We meet the medicine there, as the sun rises.

The neuroscience

  • The subconscious is most accessible
  • Neuroplasticity is heightened
  • The mind carries less noise from the day
  • The veil between conscious and unconscious is thinnest

The vibrational medicine

  • Crystal bowls resonate with the body's cells
  • Drums entrain the heartbeat and nervous system
  • Gongs create powerful clearing and release
  • Chimes guide you gently back to integration
The elemental arc

From root to crown.

The week moves through the body in sequence, rebuilding the nervous system from the ground up. Each pair of days works with an element and an energy center, pairing ancient earth wisdom with somatic resourcing.

Days 1 to 2 · Root & sacral

Earth & Water

Grounding, safety and self-nourishment. Recognizing and releasing survival patterns; meeting sadness, grief and shame; reawakening creative flow, the sensual body and the feminine essence.

Days 3 to 4 · Solar plexus & heart

Fire & Air

Personal power and sacred rage. Stoking the fire within, reclaiming the full essence of the heart, and meeting purpose with self-compassion.

Days 5 to 6 · Throat & third eye

Ether & Light

Voice activation and the power of discernment: truth from lies. Manifestation, the unlocking of intuition, and a roadmap for what you are learning to embody.

Days 7 to 8 · Crown & integration

Cosmic

Connection to the sacred, altar-building and living prayer, embodied spirituality. Integration as self-honor, and microdosing for health and sustainable change.
