New Year
Vision Quest
Don't just ring in the new year. Enter it with clarity, vision, and direction.
Eight days with Huachuma San Pedro in the sacred container of Ananda Lodge. A ceremonial threshold between who you have been and who you are choosing to become. Ceremony II falls on New Year's Eve.
You're arriving at the threshold of another year.
You know what you're carrying. The patterns, the weight, the things from 2026 you are not willing to drag into another year. You've done enough looking back. What you're ready for now is to actually put it down, get clear on what comes next, and walk into 2027 differently.
- Another year of almost
- Goals that didn't stick
- Numb to the passage of time
- Carrying what you meant to put down
- Celebrating on the outside, unsettled within
- Ready for something real
- Not sure what 2027 is actually for
- Tired of resolutions that don't hold
- The same patterns, a new calendar
New Year's is a threshold most people walk through unchanged. The date shifts. The internal landscape doesn't. This program exists for the ones who are ready to actually cross it.
The heart-opening medicine of the Andes.
Huachuma San Pedro doesn't take you apart. It shows you the whole of yourself, with clarity and with love. It is the medicine of vision, of heart, of purpose restored. There is a reason the Andean tradition calls it the Teacher of Teachers.
Vision, not resolution
San Pedro illuminates your true direction. Not the goals you've borrowed from others. The ones rooted in what actually matters to you. You leave knowing the difference.
Heart clarity over mental noise
The mind makes lists. The heart knows. San Pedro bypasses the noise of the thinking mind and opens access to what you already know but have been unable to trust.
Patterns dissolved, not managed
The same loops that made 2025 feel like 2024. San Pedro illuminates the root with precision and gentleness. Not as a burden, but as a path back to yourself.
A felt sense of forward
You don't leave with a list. You leave with a felt relationship to your own direction. 2027 stops being an abstract date and becomes a year you are building intentionally.
Those who have crossed the threshold.
"This Huachuma program was truly a life-changing experience for me. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful. From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep sense of safety and care. I left with clarity, gratitude, and profound shifts."
Alessandra · January 2026"Our fearless Huachumara, Nikki, is an amazing guide and spirit to work with both in and out of ceremony. The work that Nikki did with our group was healing and truly special. I am honored to have gone through ceremonies with her."
Richard · San Pedro Ceremony"It shows you what is truly important in life. I realized I had been living in mild fear, anxiety, confusion, and distraction. I leave with a renewed understanding of what makes us whole. These people are special. They are the real deal."
Kim · March 2025"Ananda is the place to go for plant medicine with true intention and integration. The container created and the values upheld are something I find in high integrity. This place feels like home now after two visits."
Emilee · April 2026Eight days. One complete arc.
The Vision Quest is a fully held immersion. Every element is intentional. Every day has a purpose. This is not a passive experience you observe. It is a process you move through.
The Opening
An initial ceremony to establish relationship with the medicine. The container forms. Your intention is stated and witnessed. The medicine meets you where you are.
The Threshold
Held on December 31st. You sit in ceremony as the year turns. Vision as the explicit intention. You cross into 2027 in medicine, conscious and clear, already in relationship with what the year is for you.
The Anchor
The closing ceremony. What was opened is now integrated and sealed. Your vision becomes embodied. The medicine completes its work. You leave not with notes from an experience, but with a felt direction.
Integration Days
Between ceremonies, integration is active. Somatic sessions, breathwork, movement, beach time, art therapy, and one-on-one time with your guardians. The medicine needs room to land.
This is for you if.
This program is specific. It is not for everyone and it is not trying to be. Read both columns before you book a call.
This is for you if…
- You have been feeling the gap between where you are and where you know you're meant to be
- You want to enter 2027 with actual clarity, not another list of intentions
- You are willing to look honestly at what has kept you cycling in the same patterns
- You want a container that will hold you, challenge you, and be accountable to your growth
- You are open to plant medicine as a legitimate tool for self-knowledge and direction
- You can commit to the full eight days without interruption
- You are in a stable enough place to go deep without being destabilized by what surfaces
This is not for you if…
- You are looking for a vacation or a celebratory new year's experience
- You are in active mental health crisis or acute emotional instability
- You are unwilling to engage with the integration work between and after ceremonies
- You are approaching this as curiosity without clear intention
- You are not willing to be honest about what is not working in your life
- You have contraindicated medical or psychiatric conditions without a physician-confirmed plan
Held before, during, and after.
The ceremony is not the program. Everything around it is part of the work.

The people who will hold you.
You are not held by a protocol. You are held by people who have walked this path themselves and chosen to dedicate their practice to holding others with honesty and care.
Nikki Szeghalmi
Nikki grew up just outside Toronto, Canada and currently lives nestled amongst the Andes in the Sacred Valley of Peru. A teacher dedicated to working with people with special needs and at-risk youth, she has devoted her life to being a support to others. Coming from a background of addiction and depression, she was called to Peru in 2018 to start working with her teachers Bernard Kashagen and Chase Moore for a deep dive into her healing.
Wanting others to experience the grace of the medicine as she has, she offers a safe space of presence and love, weaving in various mind, body, and energetic practices. Trained in somatic trauma-informed plant medicine facilitation through Atira Tan. Nikki is a balance of grit and softness, embodying permission for each guest to explore their unique experience with the medicine. With deep reverence for the magic that unfolds in ceremony, she meets each individual where they are. She loves to play with life and brings cracking humour and lightness to the challenges of the journey.
