The promise

Twelve weeks, from within.

The Mindful Microdose Program is a guided psilocybin microdose protocol, a sacred structure, and a small circle moving through it beside you, built to do nervous-system repair and self-reclamation work without asking you to leave your life to begin it.

For some, this is the whole arc. For others, it is the doorway into a future immersion at Ananda Lodge.

The invitation

Not someone to be fixed. Someone to be recognized.

In January · Intention instead of resolution

A new year doesn’t need a new you.

Every January brings the same pressure: new goals, new discipline, a better version of you by spring. Most resolutions fade by February because they ask you to push harder from the same depleted place. This circle offers twelve weeks to slow down, listen inward, and return to who you already are, from home, alongside others beginning the year the same way.

  • Patterns that keep repeating, year after year
  • Giving from a well that has run empty
  • Another January, the same old resolutions
  • Wanting to feel clear again
In summer · Expansion instead of effort

You have done the work. Now let it show.

Summer is the season of harvest. The intentions you planted earlier in the year, the inner work you have been quietly tending: this is when it asks to be seen, lived, and expanded into. Summer Illumination offers twelve weeks to gather what has grown, bring light to what is still hidden, and expand into a fuller expression of who you are.

  • Insights that have not yet become how you live
  • Growth that hasn’t found its expression yet
  • A transition in career, relationship, or identity with no clear next step
  • Wanting to feel fully alive again

The circle is how this work gets held: a small group crossing the same threshold, at the same time, alongside each other.

Three phases · Seven gatherings

The shape of the twelve weeks.

Live group video sessions twice a month, two hours each. Dates are shown for the New Year circle, then the Summer circle.

Phase I · The Path

Where you are, met with compassion

Jan 4 · Jun 7

Where You Are

Naming what is true right now, without judgment. Microdosing begins.

Jan 18 · Jun 21

Directing the Compass

Compassion for every part of you. Building the ritual that carries the arc.

What you’ll do

  • Name what is true right now, without judgment
  • Build compassion for the parts of you that are tired
  • Set your intention for the year ahead, or name what you are ready to harvest this season
  • Establish the daily ritual that carries the arc

What you’ll gain

  • Awareness of the pattern you are actually in
  • A structured relationship with the medicine from day one
  • A daily practice that holds you between sessions
  • Connection to the people walking this with you
Phase II · The Way

The wisdom body, the deeper feelings, the boundary

Feb 1 · Jul 5

Reconnecting to the Body

Entering the somatic wisdom body. Learning to feel the deeper emotions instead of naming them.

Feb 15 · Jul 19

Boundaries With Self and Other

Naming and owning the line.

What you’ll do

  • Enter the somatic wisdom body
  • Learn to feel emotions instead of only naming them
  • Identify where your boundaries have gone missing
  • Practice naming and holding a boundary in real time

What you’ll gain

  • A body you can trust for information, not just symptoms
  • Language for what you feel while you are feeling it
  • A boundary practice you can use with anyone in your life
  • Relief from carrying what was never yours to hold
Phase III · The Wisdom

Expansion, reclamation, and the truth you carry forward

Mar 1 · Aug 2

Expansion

Full reclamation of your essence.

Mar 15 · Aug 16

Trust, Leadership, Truth

Determining how you move forward, and carrying yourself into the rest of 2027.

Apr 5 · Aug 30

Celebration

What you’ll do

  • Expand into a fuller expression of who you are
  • Reclaim the parts of your essence you set aside
  • Determine how you want to move forward
  • Practice trust, leadership, and truth as a daily stance

What you’ll gain

  • A clear sense of direction for the seasons ahead
  • Confidence in your own leadership, starting with yourself
  • A completed arc you carry forward, not leave behind
  • A circle you remain connected to after the program ends
Is this you

A circle for anyone ready to begin again.

This is for you if

  • You want the new year to mean more than another list of resolutions
  • You have been doing inner work and are ready to harvest what it has grown
  • You are functioning well on the outside and depleted underneath it
  • You want structure and community, not a passive wellness subscription
  • You are ready to build a real relationship with psilocybin, at a measured pace
  • You want this as a complete arc, or a bridge toward a future immersion

This is not for you if

  • You are seeking a full ceremonial macrodose experience
  • You are in active psychological crisis or acute instability
  • You want the medicine without the structure or the circle around it
  • You are not able to commit to the full twelve-week arc
Your guardians

Held by guides who have walked this path.

You are not held by a protocol. You are held by people who understand this work because they have lived it.

Kimberly Ocaña

Kimberly Ocaña

Co-founder · Somatic trauma-informed guide

A survivor herself, Kimberly built this circle around the safety she once needed. After eighteen years in corporate leadership, a healing journey with Ayahuasca and the Shipibo-Konibo people in Peru led her to plant-medicine facilitation. She is trained in somatic trauma-informed care and designed this circle as her answer to the rarity of that safety.

Dana Mistretta

Dana Mistretta

Reiki Master · Plant medicine ceremonialist

A Reiki Master, intuitive guide, and sound practitioner with twenty-seven years in the wellness field and more than five years as a plant-medicine ceremonialist. Dana brings a deeply felt, energetically attuned presence to ceremony and integration, weaving sound healing, intuitive guidance, and Reiki into each phase of the arc.

Voices from the circle

In their own words.

"I no longer need my ADD meds and I'm taking very little of my anxiety meds. Things that would usually rattle me are transforming. I'm a better version of me. I don't worry so much, and if I do, I can quickly turn it around or see the silver lining."
Stephanie · Mindful Microdose Program
"My experience at Ananda helped me to understand that change isn't scary or the enemy of peace. It is a portal. It's ok to let go, to surrender, to release the grip I had on patterns that no longer serve."
Geneviève · 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
"I have all the tools I need within me. The care from the facilitators was beyond my expectations. Genuine care."
Alessandra · Mindful Microdose Program
"I gained a deeper understanding and confidence in using the medicine. What surprised me was the sense of community. I didn't expect that."
Mindful Microdose Program participant
"The guide books and resources were great. I found myself on pace and intuitively stepping into the next phase before the next guidebook arrived. I did spend a lot of time with the guidebooks and kept pace. They were transforming. I'm joyful, filled with gratitude, and living in the present. I'm creative and writing again."
Mindful Microdose Program participant
"At the Mindful Microdose Program I was able to delve deeper into childhood trauma and find new ways to heal with support from the community."
Mindful Microdose Program participant
"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 · Ananda Lodge guest
"I felt extremely safe at all times, and taken care of in a way I had never felt before."
Ananda Lodge guest · 2025
