"Words can’t express my experience at Ananda Lodge.
I have recently returned from a 3 day women’s medicine retreat. I’ve experienced
sound bath, yoga, cacao ceremony, beautiful nourishing shared meals, somatic
therapies, mushroom medicine ceremony, integrative support, trauma informed care,
love, compassion, connection, and community (to say the LEAST) the profound
guidance, releases, and healings I’ve experienced within just 3 days was something
that must be experienced and is unexplainable in words.
Kim and Rachael were an absolute blessing throughout the whole process. Their
guidance, wisdom, and loving support created the utmost safe container to experience
a chance to sink deeper than ever before within my spiritual practice, connecting to
myself, and have gifted my more integrative tools to continue to expand through my
life. They are focused on intimidate groups to offer the most in depth care- a healing
center that is TRULY, and authentically living and creating in alignment with their
values. I am looking forward to many more sites and experiences through this space
and I can’t recommend them enough."

The Medicines
Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain species of mushrooms. Various cultures have used these mushrooms in traditional medicine and spiritual rituals for centuries. In recent years, psilocybin has gained global recognition, with many embracing it as a catalyst for personal growth, therapeutic breakthroughs, and spiritual enlightenment. Similar to cacao, psilocybin was also revered as a sacred plant medicine used in ritual settings.
Ceremonial cacao is a sacred medicine, a vehicle for spiritual exploration, and a catalyst for deep inner work. Rich in antioxidants, nutrients, and mood-enhancing compounds, cacao nourishes both body and soul, gently opening the heart and inviting us to connect with ourselves and others on a profound level. Ceremonial cacao taps into ancient wisdom, bridging the physical and spiritual realms. She opens the heart to promote compassion, joy, and love while enhancing spiritual connection and guiding self-exploration.
By combining these medicines, we are able to open the heart with cacao while we open the mind with psilocybin, creating a synergistic healing effect. The MAOI compounds within cacao promote serotonin release in the brain, boosting the effects of the psilocybin, while the healthy fats present in cacao, promote enhanced absorption of the psilocybin. A truly remarkable combination that invites in expanded states of empathy, compassion, and spiritual awareness.

"I'm still in awe of the beauty and significant expansion and healing that I received through
my journey with Kimberly and Rachael at Ananda Lodge. The minute you step onto the
property you can feel the sacredness of the land and the warm smiles that greet you from
the owners Kimberly and Jason and the rest of the amazing staff, you feel immediately
safe and at home.
The ceremonies are powerful and it is a reminder that you are your own healer but now
using plant medicine as your ally to support your growth, expansion and healing. The
accommodations are top notch. Starting with the food that is made with such love by
Jonathan and Mary is some of the best food I've ever had! I have food restrictions (vegan
and gluten free) and they made the most incredible meals each day honoring those
restrictions, which such beautiful variety. The rooms are so beautiful, each having a view
of the ocean and the property. The beds are so beyond comfortable, like sleeping on a
cloud after doing some hard work, I felt like my body could sink deep into rest. The
massages on site as also healing and helpful in your self love journey.
If you are considering joining a retreat at Ananda Lodge, look no further. They limit
spaces so your journey will be intimate and curated for true healing vs. other places try to
pack in a many people as possible which doesn't allow for this incredibly tailored
experience for each of the attendees. The love and support is infused in each day you will
spend there. I cannot recommend Ananda Lodge, the staff and location enough!"
