It’s time you prioritized your own mental well-being
Date:
November 8–13, 2026
Place:
Ananda Lodge, Costa Rica
Join us November 8–13, 2026 in Costa Rica for a 6-day immersive retreat.
This retreat is for people with a nervous system—so, literally everyone.
If you’re running on empty for so long that you’ve forgotten what “full” even feels like.
The passion that once fueled your work? It’s dimmed to a flicker.
The creativity that used to flow through you? Stuck behind walls you didn’t even know you were building.
The deep knowing that you came here to live a bigger, more expressive, more alive life? It whispers to you in quiet moments, but the noise of obligations drowns it out.
Here’s what you know for certain:
Band-aid solutions won’t cut it anymore. Another self-care checklist isn’t going to touch the deeper disconnection you’re feeling. You need real transformation. You need to remember who you are beneath the burnout. You need to come home to yourself.
This retreat is an all-inclusive experience—emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
You show up. We hold the rest.
Investment: $6,250
Through intentional ceremony, somatic tools, creative integration, and sound, you’ll begin to unwind from
the speed and stress of your everyday life—and remember who you are underneath it all.
You don’t need to be “spiritual” or have prior psychedelic experience. You do need to complete an intake call before joining,
so we can make sure this experience is the right fit for you.
We are trauma-aware, body-informed, and deeply committed to creating a space
that honors your autonomy, intuition, and individual process.

This isn’t just breathwork and buzzwords.
We’ll practice real, nervous system-based techniques rooted in polyvagal theory, somatics, and embodied safety. These are tools you can bring home—that actually work in the middle of a meltdown, a client session, or your Monday morning meeting.
You’ll understand your stress responses more clearly—and stop blaming yourself for them. You’ll learn how to work with your body, not against it. And you’ll leave with the kind of regulation you can feel, not just think about.
These ceremonies are sacred, grounded, and designed for transformation. Kimberly creates a supportive container where your process is honored—whether it’s expansive, quiet, chaotic, or surprising. You’re never rushed. You’re not left alone.
We also prepare your system before you enter the ceremony space, and help you integrate after so the insights you gain don’t just fade into the jungle.
We take your safety seriously. We hold this work with respect. And we trust the intelligence of the medicine and your body.
Some things can’t be said. Some healing moves through sound, image, rhythm, and movement. You’ll have space to explore and express in ways that don’t require words—or performance. Just presence.
You don’t have to be an artist. You don’t have to sing in tune. These are practices to help you access what’s living inside of you—and give it room to move, transform, and soften.
Gabrielle facilitates group spaces that are honest, warm, and clear. You’ll explore your patterns, protections, and possibilities through guided reflection, nervous system education, and shared connection.
This isn’t a lecture or a performance. This is space to be seen, to be real, and to gently shift how you relate to yourself.
You’ll also have one pre-retreat and one post-retreat group call to support your integration arc. Because what happens after the retreat matters just as much.
This isn’t a packed schedule with 12-hour days. You’ll have space to move, rest, wander, journal, float, cry, or sit in silence. Excursions are offered but never required. This is a retreat where your system leads.
Want to hike to a waterfall? Cool.
Want to lay in a hammock and not speak for an hour? Even better.
We follow the wisdom of your body, not the clock.

This retreat is for you if your system has been screaming
“I can’t keep going like this.”
And you’re finally ready to listen.
It’s also for you if you’ve done years of work, but still feel stuck in your head, or disconnected from your body. If you want a psychedelic experience that isn’t performative or spiritual bypassing—but instead centered on integration, presence, and embodied practice.
You’re welcome here. As you are.
Messy, brilliant, stuck, open, skeptical, or grieving.
*Early bird plans will be available until June 1st. Space is limited. When rooms are full, registration will close.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, speaker, and nervous system educator. Gabrielle blends polyvagal theory, sound healing, and creative expression with decades of experience holding space for transformation.

A seasoned, grounded ceremonial facilitator trained in psilocybin work and trauma-informed care. Kimberly brings presence, skill, and deep trust in the healing process of plant medicine. She creates a safe, sacred container where each person is supported with respect and intention.
This is a team that actually knows what they’re doing and does it with care.
This retreat includes two psilocybin ceremonies and you'll never be alone during the experience. While psilocybin is a powerful tool for healing and transformation, plant medicine work isn't for everyone. You'll receive a screening questionnaire to ensure this work is appropriate for you.
Costa Rica in November is warm and beautiful, with temperatures typically ranging from the mid-70s to upper 80s Fahrenheit. It's the beginning of the dry season, ideal retreat weather.
Ananda Lodge is accessible from Liberia International Airport (LIR). Detailed travel information and optional group transportation will be provided upon registration.
