DISCOVER THE MEDICINE | A Psilocybin and Cacao Immersion, 6 Days | 5 Nights Ananda Lodge, Playa Grande, Costa Rica

Be a part of an intimate medicine immersion where we harness the powers of cacao, psilocybin, breath, movement and sound. Designed for intimacy and deep one-to-one healing support, this immersion is limited  to 12 participants allowing us to peer deeply into our inner worlds. 

Throughout our journey, we’ll delve into the profound healing potential of sacred plant medicine through 3 ceremonies. Thoughtfully curated to ease you into the mystical world of these medicines, this immersion is designed for nervous system regulation and deep healing. Our experienced guides will be with you every step of the way, offering wisdom, support, and personalized guidance through 1:1 dosage consultations and onsite group and personal integration sessions. 

Ceremonial cacao is a sacred medicine, a vehicle for spiritual exploration, and a catalyst for deep inner work. Rich in antioxidants, nutrients, and mood-enhancing compounds, cacao nourishes both body and soul, gently opening the heart and inviting us to connect with ourselves and others on a profound level.

Sacred medicinal mushrooms have been used for thousands of years, treating both spiritual and physical ailments. Psilocybin, the active compound in sacred mushrooms, can be a catalyst for increased presence and awareness, connectedness to self, others, and nature, and a profound ability to unite with the Divine.
