And just like that, another beautiful retreat comes to a close. 🌿

Thank you to our pasajeros for trusting us, showing up fully, and sharing this profound experience with us. It was an honor to walk alongside each of you and witness the courage, vulnerability, and transformation that unfolded.

A deep thank you to our medicine carriers and facilitators for the love, dedication, and care you pour into this work. Your presence makes these spaces possible.

We close this retreat with full hearts, deep gratitude, and so much joy. The work continues beyond these walls, and we’re excited to keep walking this path together.

Until the next journey. 💚

Today, we pause to remember September 11th and honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the countless first responders who answered the call that day and continue every day since.

This day is very near and dear to our hearts at Ananda.

Our co-founder, Jason, spent many years in the fire service, dedicating his life to protecting and serving others. His path in the fire service shaped so much of who he is today and continues to influence the work we do here at Ananda.

As you may have heard Jason say:

“Really, I’ve just traded one life of service for another.”

Today, that service looks different. Instead of running toward the fire, he now holds space for people as they navigate their own inner landscapes, supporting them through profound experiences and facilitating a path toward lasting transformation.

The uniform may be different. The setting may be different. But the heart of service remains the same.

Today, and every day, we honor those who run toward what others run from.

To all first responders, past and present, and to the families who stand beside them: we see you, we honor you, and we are grateful for your service.

Never Forget. 🇺🇸

Some journeys are difficult to put into words. 🌿✨

Our retreat last month at Source Peru in the Sacred Valley was one of those experiences.

A powerful gathering of people coming together with intention, openness, and a willingness to go deeper. Days spent in ceremony, connection, reflection, nature, and community.

We’re deeply grateful for the trust each person brought into this experience, for the wisdom of the medicine and the land, and for the beautiful community that continues to grow around this work.

The retreat may have ended, but the journey continues.

Integration is where the real work begins. ❤️‍🩹🌱

Thank you, Source Peru , for holding us.

Thursday, we said goodbye to our first Empowered Path immersion at Ananda. 🌿

While the on-site portion of their journey is complete, their work is far from over. They now have 2.5 months of continued integration work ahead of them as they continue to bring their experiences into their everyday lives.

And as Guardians, we’re walking away from this first immersion with one overwhelming feeling:

Wow.

We witnessed such a profound difference in this group.

They arrived already knowing one another. They had spent weeks doing the work together, building trust, exploring their patterns, and beginning to create a shared container long before they ever stepped onto the property.

They weren’t strangers meeting for the first time.

And we could feel the difference.

They were more comfortable. More connected. More open. And there was a deeper sense of safety—not only with us and within the Ananda space, but within themselves and with one another.

This is exactly why we created Empowered Path.

The work begins before you arrive.

It continues through your time at Ananda.

And it continues long after you leave.

This first immersion has given us an even deeper understanding of the power of that continuity—and the proof is in the experience.

We’re incredibly excited to continue walking alongside this group through their integration journey.

And now, we’re preparing to open the doors to the full Empowered Path Immersion in 2027.

An 18-week journey available across all three of the medicines we work with:

🌿 Psilocybin
🌿 Ayahuasca
🌿 San Pedro

With a unique opportunity to begin working with the same plant teacher four weeks before you arrive at Ananda, creating continuity between your preparation, your time on the land, and your integration afterward.

This isn’t simply a retreat.

It’s a journey designed to support the work before, during, and long after your time at Ananda.

If you’re interested in being part of the next Empowered Path immersion in 2027:

DM us “WAITLIST” and we’ll add you to the list.

The journey begins before you arrive. 🌱

I keep arriving at the same place... Not the geography. The pattern. The version of myself that shows up in every relationship, every ceremony, every attempt at change, running the same loop and calling it fate.

Plant medicine work doesn't skip this part. It puts it directly in front of you. The howler you hear at dawn isn't background noise, it's the sound of something ancient refusing to perform for you.

That's the container Ananda Lodge builds: not escape, confrontation. Preparation that asks what pattern you're actually here to interrupt. Ceremony that won't let you bypass it. Integration that makes the insight stick after you leave the jungle.

If you recognize this exhaustion, the work starts before you arrive. Screening, preparation calls, one-on-one facilitation, real integration support after. Not a retreat. A rupture, held responsibly.

DM "PATTERN" to talk about what's actually keeping you stuck.

Before anyone books a retreat with us, they talk to us.

Plant medicine work asks a lot of the body and the mind, and not everyone is a fit for every medicine at every point in their life.

So before we confirm a booking, we screen for physical health history, current medications (SSRIs, SNRIs, and lithium in particular require a closer look), personal or family history of psychosis, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder, and overall psychological readiness.

Then we talk. Every guest has a real one-on-one conversation with our team before anything is confirmed. Not a form you submit and forget. A conversation where we get to know you and you get to know us.

This is what trauma-informed care looks like before you ever set foot in Costa Rica.
