THREE MEDICINES

Three different paths.
One steady place to walk them.

Master plants have long been known as tools of knowledge: teachers for growth, study, and understanding yourself, as well as healing. Each teaches differently, and none more deeply than another.

THE CONNECTORPsilocybin

More about Psilocybin

For the curious, self-aware seeker whose patterns keep running the show. The medicine composts what no longer serves and reconnects you to who you are beneath the pattern, so you can step into choice.

THE ILLUMINATORSan Pedro (Huachuma)

More about San Pedro

For the busy mind that has talked it through and still feels stuck. A master teacher of truth, held in daylight and in nature, that shows what is out of alignment and calls you to own your choices, words, and actions.

THE PATH OPENERAyahuasca

More about Ayahuasca

For those called to ayahuasca, new to the medicine or seeking deeper study. Held in the Shipibo tradition, the medicine travels to the root, personal and ancestral, and opens paths forward in a life. An apprenticeship of the self.

You may feel called here if

Something in you knows it's time.

Always on edge, unable to fully relax
Numb and disconnected from yourself
Patterns you understand but cannot change
Insights from ceremony that keep fading
Seeking a daily practice, not a single big experience
Done with medicine work but haven't quite landed it
Who this is for

Three paths in. One complete framework.

Three distinct people come to this program. All three are in the right place.

01
Coming to medicine

Arriving ready for your medicine work

You are approaching plant medicine and you want to arrive fully ready. Microdosing in the weeks before a ceremony builds readiness in body and mind, so you arrive settled when you sit.

02
Leaving medicine work

Anchoring what ceremony opened into daily life

You sat with the medicine. Something real happened. And now you're back in ordinary life watching the clarity slowly fade. This program gives those insights a place to live, in your body, your habits, and your daily reality.

03
A different way through

Building a daily relationship with medicine without a macro experience

You want something you can work with in daily life. A practice that fits your days, with structure that keeps you following through. You may be in therapy, managing medications, or simply seeking a better way to move through life.

How this program was born

Kimberly and Jason didn't design this program.
They lived it first.

When Kimberly and Jason Ocaña founded Ananda Lodge, they had already been in the work for years. They had sat in ceremony and seen what it opens. But it was their own personal microdose practice, intentional, guided, and held within a somatic framework, that made the difference between insights that visited and change that actually stayed.

Microdosing didn't replace the ceremony. It bridged it. It kept the work alive between ceremonies, kept the body in relationship with the medicine, and gave the emotional body time to process what ceremony had moved.

What they discovered in their own lives became the methodology behind The Mindful Microdose. This is not a program Ananda sells. It is a program Ananda lives.

The methodology

Ancient wisdom. Somatic practice. Woven together.

Follow-through takes three things working at once: an understanding of how your patterns formed, the somatic intelligence of the body, and the sacred wisdom of frameworks that have mapped human change for generations.

Pattern Decoding

You will learn how your patterns formed and how to interrupt them, so change becomes a choice rather than a struggle.

The Medicine Wheel

An ancient framework adapted as a living map for your healing arc. Earth, Water, Fire, and Air each correspond to a dimension of change. You will always know where you are in the arc and what the work of this season is asking of you.

Somatic, Trauma-Informed Psychology

The body holds what the mind cannot process. Somatic practices bring you into the felt sense of your patterns, your edges, and your capacity for change. This is how insights become embodied rather than intellectual.

Psilocybin as a Sacred Ally

The medicine underpins everything the methodology sets in motion. The medicine is a daily companion to the work, deepening awareness of the body and keeping the work active across the full three months. The microdose is woven through all of it.

The microdose

Why a microdose ally.

A microdose is small enough to live your day with. Many people find it brings a felt sense of presence and awareness of the body. Psilocybin does not impose an experience; it tends to amplify what is already present. That is why guidance matters: the medicine opens, and the structure determines what becomes possible inside that opening.

How it works

Three phases. One continuous arc.

Each phase builds on the last. The foundations laid in Phase I are cultivated in Phase II. What opens in Phase II is embodied and integrated in Phase III.

I
Phase One

The Path

Foundation & Sacred Direction

Establish the intentional foundation for change. You plant seeds here, not just intentions, but the structural conditions for the person you are becoming.

II
Phase Two

The Way

Deepening the Wisdom Body

Cultivate an authentic relationship with your inner wisdom body. Safe space and somatic tools allow healing to emerge, including what ceremony opened, or what the body has been holding.

III
Phase Three

The Wisdom

Emergence & Embodied Change

Step into your becoming. Complete this arc feeling the truth of embodiment, your awareness, your tools, and your purpose integrated into how you actually live.

In their words

What guests actually experienced.

"This journey provided me with direction I had never received in traditional therapy. This was the first holistic approach that actually worked."

Joe O. · Mindful Microdose Program

"I feel a sense of contentment and groundedness that I can't remember ever having in my life."

Tracy · Mindful Microdose Program

"There is no doubt this work increased my confidence to take better care of myself and others. I am so much more aware of my behaviors and how to manage emotions in my body."

Christa F. · Mindful Microdose Program
Why this program

What makes this approach distinct.

01

Ceremony-Informed Design

Built specifically around medicine work, before, after, or alongside it. The structure, tools, and guidebooks are designed for people in real relationship with plant medicine, not general wellness seekers.

02

Pattern Decoding

You will understand how your patterns formed and how to interrupt them. This program teaches you the mechanism, so change becomes precise rather than effortful.

03

The Medicine Wheel as a Living Map

An ancient framework adapted for modern integration. Each element maps to a dimension of your healing. You will always know where you are in your arc and what this season is asking of you.

04

Ceremony-Experienced Guides

Both guides carry extensive personal and professional experience with plant medicine. They understand preparation and integration from walking this path themselves.

Safety & care

A thoughtful approach to every guest.

This program is grounded in somatic psychology, sacred tradition, and trauma-sensitive care. We believe education is empowerment.

What this is not

This program is not a treatment for any health condition. It is a guide to the path of self-empowerment and change. We encourage working alongside conjunctive therapy as an additional layer of support, particularly for those managing significant mental health histories.

Medicine Quality

We work with a single, reputable microdose provider to ensure consistent, high-quality medicine throughout the program. Once registration is complete, guests receive private access to order through our trusted source.

Ongoing Support

Our guides make themselves available via email, WhatsApp, and phone throughout the program. You are not alone between sessions, the support structure extends well beyond the scheduled calls.

Program Alignment

We reserve the right to assess alignment before and during the program. Microdosing is not appropriate for everyone, particularly those with severe mental health conditions. If questions arise, we address them directly and with care.

Investment

Two tracks. One complete framework.

Choose the depth of support that matches your needs and schedule. Both tracks share the full somatic framework, all 8 guidebooks, and medicine access.
