The sanctuary, held
entirely for you.
Beyond the group program, Ananda can be reserved exclusively for individuals, small groups, and trusted partners who bring their own work here.
Book a call to explore→Your arc. No shared schedule,
no compromise.
Some of what you are carrying requires a container built entirely around you. When you need to move at your own pace, go deeper than a group dynamic allows, or hold something that requires complete confidentiality, a private immersion is the appropriate container. The entire property is closed. The team's full attention is on one person's process, one circle's intention. Nothing divides the room.
Held entirely for you.
Private experiences are available for solo guests, couples, families, or a small circle of trusted people. Most private immersions host up to four guests, though larger groups can be accommodated. The medicine work, the preparation, and the integration are designed entirely around your specific arc.
A private immersion is the right choice when…
- You are ready to go deeper than a shared container allows, and you need to move without holding back for the group.
- Your material is layered, complex, or requires a level of confidentiality that a group setting cannot provide.
- You are seeking personalized mentorship and individualized preparation rather than shared facilitation.
- You want the full depth of ceremonial work designed entirely around your specific intentions.
- You are coming as a couple, a family, or a small circle of people with a shared healing intention.
- You want flexibility on timing, pacing, and medicine sequencing without a fixed cohort calendar.
Curated to your specific intention.
Private immersions can be built around a single medicine or sequenced across multiple, depending on your history, your readiness, and what your process calls for.
Psilocybin
Heart opening. Nervous system reset.
Ayahuasca
Deep ancestral. Multi-ceremony arc.
San Pedro
Huachuma. Expansion. Grounded clarity.
Kambo
Cellular purge. Immune activation.
Medicine Combination
Sequenced for depth. Curated to you.
The time the work asks for.
Optimal immersions run 5 to 8 days. Shorter stays are possible for single-medicine work; longer stays allow deeper sequencing and rest between ceremonies. Most guests find 7 days the most complete container. Pricing is per-experience, not per-head, so additional guests reduce the individual cost significantly.
Single guest. One medicine focus. The entire sanctuary held for your process.
Extended arc. Multi-ceremony sequencing. Deeper integration days between ceremonies.
Two to four guests share the immersion cost. Couples, family, and small circles welcome. Custom quote provided.
The deepest work does not need an audience. It needs a container that can hold all of it, without division, without distraction.
Ananda is not a venue.
It is a sanctuary with standards.
We work with practitioners, facilitators, and organizations who are already holding their people with rigor. What Ananda provides is a somatic, trauma-informed container and a property built specifically for this kind of deep work. Designed from the ground up for plant medicine and transformational experiences.
"You hold your people. We hold the sanctuary, the logistics, the medicine support, and the somatic container that makes the depth of this work possible."
Practitioners who hold
their people
with rigor.
We are selective. Not every inquiry becomes a partnership. We evaluate based on approach, safety standards, and how closely your work aligns with the sanctuary's standards.
Trauma Therapists & Somatic Practitioners
- Clinicians integrating plant medicine into established therapeutic practice
- Those who require a sanctuary that matches their safety and trauma-informed standards
Psychedelic Training Organizations
- Facilitator training programs seeking an experienced, held environment
- For immersive certification or practitioner development work
Space Holders & Coaches
- Coaches and ceremony leaders adding plant medicine to an existing container
- Those who want infrastructure and experienced support rather than a bare venue
Women's Leadership & Wellness Organizations
- Organizations whose work centers deep personal change
- Communities who would benefit from a somatic, ceremonial environment in a sanctuary setting
We hold everything that makes the depth of your work possible.
You focus on your people and your methodology. We handle the rest.

Built from the ground up for
this kind of work.
Constructed in 2024 on just over an acre of lush mountain forest above Playa Grande, Ananda was designed with a single purpose: to hold deep transformation. Every architectural and spatial decision was made with nervous-system regulation, safety, and earth-connected healing in mind.
✦Ocean Views & Mountain Setting
Sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and Tamarindo Bay, nestled within the jungle canopy above Playa Grande. Mountain breezes, abundant wildlife, and secluded alcoves for reflection.
✦Maloca / Yoga Shala
The heart of the sanctuary. A hand-woven natural roof floating in the trees, capacity for up to 30 guests, ceremonial space, gathering hub, and room for yoga, breathwork, and group sessions.
✦8 Private Guest Suites
Top and bottom floor ocean-view king rooms, each with a private balcony, spa-inspired open-air teak and rock shower, air conditioning, and handcrafted local wood furnishings. Capacity for up to 16 lodge guests.
✦3 Jungle Casita Suites
Private jungle-view casitas with queen beds, en suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and artisanal custom furnishings. Ideal for solo guests or couples seeking additional seclusion.

"The pictures look beautiful, but they don't begin to do justice to how incredible that piece of land is. What they can't capture is the deep, powerful, and sacred energy of the property, which serves as a central part of the healing and transformation that happens there. The food was the best week of eating in my life. Kim and Jason are incredibly attentive, supportive, and beautiful energies in their role as stewards of this space."
Naomi · Retreat Host, July 2024
If your work demands a sanctuary
that can hold it.
Each private immersion and hosted retreat is designed specifically around your intentions. A short conversation helps us understand your history, your approach, and what kind of container serves your process best.
