How Ananda holds people differently.
Six principles we don't compromise on — woven into every conversation, every meal, every breath of every ceremony.
Trauma-informed care
Every part of the retreat — from the way we speak to how ceremony is held — is built on trauma-informed principles. Consent, choice, safety, and pacing. Always.
Somatic & nervous-system aware
Healing lives in the body. Our facilitators are trained in somatic experiencing, breathwork, and nervous-system regulation, woven through every day.
Ancestral respect & lineage
Our ayahuasca ceremonies are led in the Shipibo lineage by traditional curanderas. We honor the cultures and people from whom these medicines come.
Family warmth
Ananda is owned and lived in by Kim and Jason. There is no front desk, no faceless team. You are held by humans who know your name.
Comprehensive preparation
Six or more weeks of preparation: 1:1 calls, screening, somatic practices, and gentle inner work — so the medicine isn't a shock, but an arrival.
Three months of integration
The retreat is the doorway. Integration is the path. Group calls, 1:1 sessions, and resources so insight becomes lived.

Three medicines. One ethic of care.
We work with medicines whose lineages we respect and whose traditional use we honor. Each is offered in the container best suited to it — and to you.
Ayahuasca
An ancestral Amazonian brew, held in Shipibo lineage. Deep emotional and spiritual work, traditionally in night-long ceremony.
Psilocybin
A gentler entry point. Strong therapeutic potential for grief, anxiety, depression, and self-inquiry — held in our calm ceremonial space.
San Pedro / Huachuma
A heart-opening Andean cactus medicine. A day ceremony — luminous, grounded, embodied, often in nature.
