"The Care team is trauma informed, which was new for me but greatly assisted me in this journey. I learned soooo much about myself/body from the week that I was there... Whether you’re a first timer or struggling to break ground on your intentions definitely come here!"

C

We offer Compassion and Connection through our commitment to honoring intimate Containers and the Capacity of our staff to deliver care.

COMPASSION

We hold compassion that each person has trauma imprints, big or small. We believe the healing journey is unique to the individual and so should be our care and support.

CONNECTION

We believe in healing in relation where in the shared presence of connection we can be seen, witnessed, heard, and supported.

CAPACITY

Our capacity to give is preceded by how much we care for ourselves and doing our own work. We prioritize our team’s well- being and limit the number of guests, so that we have capacity to give and to receive.

CONTAINER

The size, design of the space, and our family-owned approach provide an optimal container for deep healing transformation.

A

We are Aligned and Aware of the impact of trauma and how to support repair through their way of being. We aim for our presence to be uniquely Attuned and Attentive to each guest.

ALIGNED

Through aligning each guest to one team member we create deep connection and lasting impact throughout the process.

AWARE

Through awareness we have the opportunity to reclaim presence and the hold that trauma can have on us.

ATTUNED

Being attuned means we can track and respond to each individuals state of being using our nervous system to co- regulate and provide care.

ATTENTIVE

With our purposeful approach to intimately curated experiences, our staff is able to be attentive to the unique needs of each guest.

R

We are rooted in Reverence to and Reciprocity to the plants, medicine carriers, and the land. We Respect personal boundaries and take Responsibility for the impact of our work.

REVERANCE

We carry reverence and acknowledge the privilege for our ability to work with sacred medicine traditions.

RESPECT

We respect that each guest knows their own bodies best and everyone should have choice and agency in the process.

RESPONSIBILITY

We are responsible for the care of each guest that comes to our center, having protocols and layers of support, and remaining with our scope of practice.

RECIPROCITY

The principle of Ayni, or reciprocity, reminds us of giving thanks and being of service to others.

The foundation of Ananda lies in our living Ethos and Code of Ethics and the deep belief that Embodiment is the most powerful pathway to Empowerment.

ETHOS

Our ethos is that every single one of us matter. We all deserve to feel seen, heard, and to be whole.

ETHICS

Our ethics are rooted in the principle of ‘do no harm’ and our family’s mission to provide accessible healing for those in need.

EMBODIMENT

We believe embodiment is the harmonizationof truth within the being. We aim to support each guest with somatic tools and to be a role model of compassion, care, and presence.

EMPOWERMENT

We are committed to supporting the process of empowerment through self-inquiry, taking a stand for people, and walking alongside them throughout the transformation process.

The Ripple Effect

When transformation happens here, it doesn’t stay here. The trauma patterns you shift, the nervous system regulation you learn, the embodied wisdom you gain…these gifts travel home with you. They touch your family, your community, your work in the world.

This is why we take our role as guardians of this healing space so seriously. Every person who experiences true transformation here becomes a source of healing for others.

As you prepare for this journey, we invite you to embrace the same principles that guide our care:

Compassion: Meet yourself with the same loving kindness you would offer a dear friend; your journey deserves patience and understanding
Attunement: Begin noticing the subtle language of your body; when do you feel safe, when do you contract, what do you need to feel held?
Reverence: Approach your preparation as sacred practice
Embodiment: Small daily practices of presence and self-awareness create the foundation for profound transformation

Is Plant Medicine the C.A.R.E. you need?

Let’s talk about it

"The group size is so unique at only 8 and allows for the ideal amount of space one needs to really go deep and heal. The support during and after ceremony is unmatched in the retreat industry. If you want to feel safe and supported you will not find it anywhere else like Ananda."
