The Hunt for Your Song is not about learning to sing. It is about remembering what your voice already knows — and letting two of the world’s most profound plant medicines help you find it.

AN INVITATION

Every person carries a song they have not yet sung.

The Andean and Mesoamerican traditions understood something modern culture has largely forgotten: the voice is not merely an instrument of communication. It is the most direct expression of the living soul — a frequency that, when found, restores coherence to the whole of a person’s being.

This retreat is an invitation for those who have worked with medicine before and are ready to go deeper — not just into vision or insight, but into sound, symbol, and the specific song that belongs to you.

Over seven days at Ananda Lodge, you will be held by a team of master practitioners — Adriana Chantico and Felipe Kilakeo of Ikkaruna, alongside the Ananda facilitation team — working across two medicine traditions in a single, unified arc of ceremonial art.

Is this Retreat Right for you?

Those ready to work at the edge of their knowing

• You’ve worked with plant medicines before and are seeking a qualitatively different depth of encounter

• You feel a creative or expressive capacity that remains blocked, unnamed, or untranslated

• Voice, song, or sound have felt significant to your healing path, even without formal training

• You are drawn to the intersection of ancestral lineage, ceremonial art, and personal transformation

• You want to work with master practitioners who hold living indigenous traditions, not contemporary interpretations

• You are willing to commit fully — to the process, the community, and what each day requires of you

This is not a retreat about learning to sing well. It is about the ceremonial hunt for the specific vibrational signature that lives inside each person — a song that, once found, can become a lifelong tool of prayer, healing, and orientation. Both Psilocybin and San Pedro are brought to serve this single purpose.

The Ikkaruna Approach

Ikkaruna is not a curriculum — it is a living research practice developed over years in the field of ritual and therapeutic art. What Felipe and Adriana bring cannot be replicated by method alone. It emerges from lineage.

01 · SONG AS COSMOLOGICAL ACT

In Andean and indigenous Abya Yala traditions, song is not artistic expression — it is participation in the living order of the cosmos. Ikkaruna trains participants to work from this understanding rather than a Western musical framework.

02 ·HUNTING VS COMPOSING

The methodology draws a clear distinction between constructing a song and hunting one. The song already exists in the participant’s body, territory, and lineage. The work is to develop the sensitivity to hear it and the skill to hold it.

03 ·MEDICINE AS SONIC TOOL

Both Psilocybin and San Pedro are used specifically as allies in the acoustic and vibrational dimensions of self-discovery. Ikkaruna’s ceremonial music and the facilitators’ songs create a container in which medicine and voice work together.

04 · CONSECRATION AS PRACTICE

The week culminates in a rite of consecration — a ceremony in which what has been found is offered and confirmed. Participants leave not just with an experience, but with a song that is theirs to work with for the rest of their lives.

The 7 Day Path

Day 1 | Monday June 22

Arrival & Orientation

Arrive at Ananda Lodge and settle into your accommodation — time to decompress, connect with the landscape, and begin internal preparation. An evening welcome circle introduces the group, the facilitators, and the week’s intentions. Dietary guidelines and ceremony protocols are reviewed.

Day 2 | Tuesday June 23

The House of Spheres (Ceremony 1)

The opening ceremony. Guided by Felipe and Adriana’s ceremonial songs, ritual altar, and stories of origin, participants enter the Psilocybin journey with individual dosage consultation and trauma-informed facilitation from the full team. An offering to the spiritual world — and the beginning of the hunt.

Day 3 | Wednesday June 24

Hunting & Nurturing your Song (1)

The first full day of Ikkaruna’s song methodology. Morning sessions explore natural melody, rhythm and body, territorial identity, and the cosmology of sound. Afternoon practice includes voice and resonator work, polyphony exercises, and personal poetic writing. Individual consultations, cleansings, and therapies are available in the open spaces.

Day 4 | Thursday June 25

Hunting & Nurturing your Song (2)

The methodology deepens. Symbol, color, number, and form as sonic architecture. Dimensions of narrative, scene, and myth. The art of speaking through song and singing through speech. Traditional songs practiced as living technology. The day closes with the rite of consecration — an offering of what has begun to emerge.

Day 5 | Friday June 26

The Chakana Ceremony (Ceremony 2)

A nighttime vigil at the Chakana Altar. The group journeys through four times and spaces of the night in song, prayer, and communion with Pachamama. The medicine received across the week — through the first ceremony, through song — meets the embodied clarity of Wachuma. This is often when the song arrives fully.

Day 6 | Saturday June 27

Integration

A day held lightly. Individual consultations with facilitators are available. Cleansing therapies and bodywork are offered. The grounds are open for solitary reflection, journaling, and creative expression. No structured group programming — only the space to integrate. Additional consultations, cleansings, and therapies available for a supplemental fee.

Day 7 | Sunday June 28

Closing & Departure

A morning closing circle to honor what each participant found, and to tend the song as it carries forward into daily life. Departure follows checkout. Integration support from the Ananda team continues in the weeks ahead.
