"My Huachuma experience with Ananda was one of the most profound healing experiences I have ever had. This is because I truly felt safe. They have created such a welcoming, trauma-informed container."
Anonymous · Huachuma Community Weekend"The Huachumero Chase is one of the kindest, most humble and most competent teachers I have worked with. It was easy to feel safe and to trust the people and the medicine."
Vanessa · Cayman Islands"I participated in the Chase Moore retreat, this was the first time I had ever worked with plant medicine. The team at Ananda Lodge provided a lot of support, before, during, and after each ceremonial experience. Chase himself taught themes of self empowerment, and provided safe spaces to work through inner turmoil. It was a life changing experience."
