Who this is for

Not broken. Just dimmed.

Your life looks good from the outside. Stable career, relationships, a life you built with intention. And yet something is missing. Not broken. Just dimmed. You are not in crisis. You are in stagnation, and somewhere underneath the routine you can feel the distance between who you are and who you actually are.

  • Exhausted without a clear reason why
  • Hormonally shifting and losing yourself in it
  • In a transition with your career, your relationship, or your sense of purpose
  • Holding it together on the surface, but underneath feeling empty, depleted, like something is missing
  • Disconnected from your body and the felt-sense of deep joy and pleasure
  • Nervous system in a constant state of hypervigilance, wired and tired at the same time
  • Doing the work. Still not breaking through.
  • Stable on the surface. Quietly starving underneath.

Most women who come to Reclamation are in their early 30s to mid-60s. They are accomplished, self-aware, and at a place in life that is secure but no longer expanding. The life is built. What's missing is the aliveness inside it. This immersion is not for someone who needs to be fixed. It is for someone ready to be reclaimed.

The medicine

Psilocybin, held with reverence.

Burnout, nervous system overload, hormonal imbalance, disconnection from your body. These are not character flaws. They are patterns held in place by a nervous system that never got the signal it was safe to release. Psilocybin, in the right container, can reach what years of talk, insight, and willpower cannot.

This immersion is not a retreat. It is a structured blueprint back to happiness, vitality, and self-leadership, built from ancient sacred wisdom and modern somatic psychology.

Every day is designed with intention. Every modality is chosen because it addresses a specific layer of what you are carrying. The indigenous-led cacao ceremony opens the heart and the circle. Two elemental breathwork sessions clear what the body has been holding. Three Psilocybin journeys create the conditions for deep pattern interruption. The 5am ceremony pairs Psilocybin with two hours of live sound healing, reaching states the waking mind cannot access. Dream catcher weaving and art therapy give form to what the ceremonies surface. Beach, private chef, ocean-view rooms. This is where luxury and deep transformation meet.

You leave with more than insight. You leave with tools, practices, and a community of women who made the same commitment.

Guided by five practitioners who lead with integrity and expertise, each carrying something irreplaceable: somatic trauma-informed facilitation, Reiki and sound healing, Psilocybin-assisted therapy and microdose guidance, indigenous earth ceremony, and elemental breathwork. The precision is the point. Eight women. Five practitioners. A container built so that no one falls through.

What makes this container different

Nothing in this week is decorative.

This is not a normal retreat. It is structured so you leave with a blueprint, not just a beautiful experience. Tools, resources, and practices for real change in your life. Surrounded by women who want the same. Supported by practitioners who lead with integrity and deep expertise in their fields.

In their words

What women carry home.

"I received a nervous system reset and true healing. The program was meticulously planned and the education was incredibly valuable. I feel like I came home to myself."
Nicole · Women's Psilocybin Circle
"I have been struggling with symptoms of CPTSD my entire life. Since my immersion ended I have not been nauseated once. I feel so much lighter, clearer thinking, and I can hear my intuitive thoughts. I was able to feel a sense of pure joy that I've never felt before."
Nikki · Women's Psilocybin Circle
"The sisterhood was strong. The women were strangers on the first day and felt like blood sisters throughout. It was confidential, safe, and just everything I ever could hope for."
Anonymous · Women's Psilocybin Circle
"The medicine helped me deal with past trauma, let go of resentment and fears. The bonds our group made are so strong. We have a very active WhatsApp group and plan to meet up in the future."
Marta · Women's Psilocybin Circle
"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 Psilocybin Circle
"I left forever changed. This was not just an experience. It was a remembering. A return to truth, to breath, to body, to spirit. I leave with a heart wide open and deeply grateful."
Jill R. · Women's Psilocybin Circle
The arc of care

Prepare. Immerse. Integrate.

Most programs focus on the ceremony alone. Lasting change needs a complete arc. The days before and the months after matter as much as the night itself.

Before you arrive…

Your preparation begins the moment you register. Three personal preparation sessions before you arrive. Your history is heard in full, your intentions are set through the lens of somatic psychology, and you complete an online orientation with your circle so you arrive already held.

  • Thorough personal intake and history review
  • Somatic intention-setting process with your facilitator
  • Online orientation with your circle
  • Retreat toolkit: medicine guides and somatic workbook
  • Dietary and preparation guidelines

Why it matters…

Ceremony is most powerful when the nervous system is ready. Trauma-informed preparation isn't about managing risk. It's about building the container of safety that allows the medicine to work at depth. The quality of your preparation determines the quality of your opening.

  • Reduces activation during ceremony
  • Allows intention to guide the medicine
  • Builds trust with your facilitators before arrival
  • Creates coherence in the group container

This immersion is right for you if.

reflective portrait — Ananda Lodge

This is for you…

  • You are a woman navigating a genuine threshold. Career reinvention, relationship change, perimenopause, grief, a body that has carried too much for too long.
  • You have done conventional support and found it insufficient. You are ready for something that works at a deeper level.
  • You want to feel safe enough to let go. You understand that safety in the container is the precondition for the work, not an afterthought.
  • You can commit to the full arc: preparation calls before, seven nights fully present, integration calls after.
  • You are drawn to somatic, body-based work. You want to feel the shift, not just understand it intellectually.
  • You value intimacy over scale. Eight women, not eighty.
  • You are willing to be witnessed, and to witness others.
community / joy — Ananda Lodge

This is not for you if…

  • You are seeking a recreational or purely psychedelic experience without a therapeutic or transformational intention.
  • You have an active psychotic disorder, schizophrenia, or bipolar I disorder. These are contraindications for Psilocybin work.
  • You are currently taking SSRIs or MAOIs without medical clearance. Please disclose all medications during intake.
  • You are not yet ready to engage with what has been held in the body. This work requires willingness, not readiness in the sense of having it all together.
  • You need a single transformational event to substitute for therapeutic support. Plant medicine is an ally, not a replacement for ongoing care.

The women holding the circle.

Five facilitators hold this container, present from your first preparation call to the final integration session. You are never handed off, and never alone in it.

Kimberly Ocaña

Co-Founder · Somatic Trauma-Informed Guide · Lead Guardian

A survivor herself, Kimberly built this circle around the safety she once needed. After 18 years in corporate leadership, a profound healing journey with Ayahuasca and the Shipibo-Konibo people in Peru led her to leave her career and dedicate herself to plant medicine facilitation.

She is trained in somatic trauma-informed care and knows, in her body, what it takes to feel safe enough to let go. She designed this women's circle as her answer to the rarity of that safety.

Questions

Frequently asked.

I have never worked with Psilocybin before. Is this appropriate for a first experience?
Yes. The immersion is designed to support both first-time participants and those with previous plant medicine experience. Three preparation sessions before you arrive, trauma-informed facilitation, individual dosage calibration, and a 3:1 staff ratio mean you are held closely at every step.
Why does Ceremony Two begin at 5am?
At dawn, the brain naturally moves through theta and alpha states that are especially receptive to deep healing work. Pairing Psilocybin with two hours of live sound healing as the sun rises reaches states the waking mind cannot access. It is one of the most distinctive ceremonies we offer.
I am currently on antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication. Can I still participate?
Some medications, including SSRIs and MAOIs, interact with Psilocybin and require medical clearance. Please disclose all medications during intake. We will review your situation carefully and honestly, and we will tell you directly if this container is not safe for you right now.
Why is this circle women only?
Because the safety of the container is the precondition for the work. A women-only circle allows a specific quality of witnessing, vulnerability, and sisterhood to emerge, one that many women tell us they have never experienced anywhere else. Strangers on the first day often feel like blood sisters by the last.
How is this different from other Psilocybin programs?
Eight women maximum. Five practitioners, each carrying a distinct medicine. A 3:1 staff ratio. Three preparation sessions before arrival and three integration sessions after. This is not a retreat you attend, it is a structured blueprint back to happiness, vitality, and self-leadership, built from ancient sacred wisdom and modern somatic psychology.
What is the role of cacao in the immersion?
The indigenous-led cacao ceremony opens the heart and the circle. Led by Marian in the Mayan tradition, woven with the Bribrí and Chorotega legacy of Costa Rica, it is a gentle, grounding medicine that prepares the group container before the deeper Psilocybin work begins.
What is the typical age range of women in this circle?
Most women who come to Reclamation are in their early 30s to mid-60s. They are accomplished, self-aware, and at a place in life that is secure but no longer expanding.
What is included in the investment?
Everything: three preparation sessions, the indigenous-led cacao ceremony, three Psilocybin journeys, the 5am sunrise ceremony with live sound healing, two breathwork sessions, daily practices and workshops, an ocean-view king suite, all farm-to-table meals by private chef, airport transfers, three post-immersion integration sessions, a 30-day group circle, and Colibrí Circle community membership.
