The Alchemy of Women's Health | A Psilocybin-Informed Journey Within October 17-24, 2026
With Patricia Singh, Ph.D., LPCC, Kelly McGinty, FNP, Kimberly Ocana, Marian Paniagua and Hannelore Brandt
October 17 - 24, 2026
This is more than a retreat. It is a deeply transformational journey rooted in grounded, clinically sound practices that are emotionally safe and spiritually respectful. Four weeks of preparation and four weeks of post-retreat integration. This retreat is for women who are ready to be changed by what they meet inside themselves.
At Ananda Lodge, we have created an immersive experience for women who sense that something profound is shifting AND are ready to meet that shift with courage, curiosity, and support. This is not a retreat about managing symptoms or pushing through. It is a space to stop, descend, and undergo the kind of inner transformation that midlife is asking of you.
We believe menopause is not a medical condition to be treated. It is an alchemical process — a dissolution and reformation of identity, purpose, and power. The exhaustion. The grief. The rage. The sense that the life you built no longer fits. These are not signs that something is broken. They are the hallmarks of a woman in the middle of becoming something new.
Is this Retreat Right for You?
This retreat is for women ready to be changed by what they meet inside themselves.
Held within an arc of an 8-week journey, we have created the conditions, the community, and the support of sacred plant medicine for lasting transformation.
- You are navigating a profound transition. Menopause and perimenopause are reshaping your body, mind, and sense of self — and you are ready to meet that change with intention rather than resistance.
- Years of holding others, professional exhaustion, and nervous system dysregulation have left you depleted. You are seeking restoration that goes deeper than rest.
- Relationship transitions, grief, reinvention, and a growing call toward the second half of life are asking you to release who you were and discover who you are becoming.
- You want to rebuild your relationship with your body, reclaim your spirituality, and move through this passage with clarity, tools, and the support of a community of women walking alongside you.
Women-Led, Women-Centered
Dr. Trish Singh and Kelly McGinty have each walked paths of unraveling and rebuilding. They bring both experience and care to the container they hold for you — professional expertise grounded in personal truth.
Where Science Meets Earth Wisdom
We meet at the intersection of science and spirit. You will receive teachings on the hormonal and neurological shifts of menopause and perimenopause alongside sacred plant medicine practices. Both the biochemistry and the mystery are honored here.
Precision Design
Every element of this eight-week journey is cultivated for education, preparation, and the alchemical process of transformation psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, relationally, and biologically.
Intimate Sacred Container
Intimate Sacred Container (10 Guests) While many retreats place large groups into ceremony spaces, we believe this work requires depth, presence, and individual care. This intimate group allows for personal attention, authentic connection, and the space for your unique process to unfold.
