“This journey provided me with direction that I had never received before in traditional therapy. I have seen psychologists and psychiatrists. I have taken prescription meds for anxiety and depression. I have also pursued many physical and spiritual modalities to try and heal parts of me and my life where I've been challenged. Many of those experiences were a waste of time and money because I was not committed or open-minded, but they were not holistic approaches.”

What Is Integration?

Integration is the ongoing process of transforming your plant medicine experience into meaningful, embodied change mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

At Ananda Lodge, we believe the retreat is not the destination, but the beginning of a deeper return to yourself. True integration starts before the retreat, as you prepare your mind, heart, and nervous system for the work ahead. It continues afterward, as you learn to relate differently to your patterns, stories, and daily choices.

This process is not a quick fix, nor is it just about recounting what happened during the ceremony. Real integration lives in your body and behavior. It shifts how you show up in your relationships, your work, and your life. It’s what allows insight to become transformation. ht

Comprehensive and Robust C.A.R.E.

Ananda Lodge different because of the depth and continuity of our preparation and integration process. All of your sessions before, during, and after the retreat are one-on-one with the same experienced guide. This allows for an intimate and trusting relationship to unfold, rooted in deep presence and personalized care. Unlike other centers that may only offer a single integration call or rotate you through a team of facilitators, we walk beside you the whole way.

Up to 3 one-on-one preparation sessions depending on you needs.

2 one-on-one integration sessions to immidiatly understand your plant medicine experiance.

Intentional Integration

Real transformation is an ongoing process that unfolds over time. Like a seedling transforming into a plant, the process is one of patience, compassion and attuned support:

3 one-on-one sessions with your integration specialist over the course of 3 months. After, membership to the Colibri Circle.

The Retreat is Only The Beginning

At Ananda Lodge, we often remind guests: the ceremony is the catalyst, but integration is the true transformation. Many people come to plant medicine hoping for a single, life-changing moment. But what truly creates lasting change is how you live with what you’ve discovered.

The insights that emerge during the ceremony are seeds; potent, beautiful, and full of potential. But they require nurturing, tending, and the right conditions to grow. We help you create those conditions to reframe your expectations and approach the experience with grounded intention.

Integration is the long and hard work. It’s in the choices you make when you’re tired, the way you speak to yourself when you’re alone, and the relationships you build as you continue healing. We help you build a sustainable foundation for long-term transformation. This isn’t about chasing peak experiences. It’s about learning how to live with more awareness, clarity, and connection every day.
