Women’s Mushroom Ceremony Retreat
September 24-27, 2026 | Lanikai, O’ahu
This retreat is an invitation to soften your pace, quiet the noise, and come home to yourself.
Over four intentional days in Lanikai, we’ll gather in an intimate space to deepen our connection with the earth’s medicine, with spirit, and with the deep wisdom of psilocybin mushrooms. Through ceremony, movement, breath, and ritual, we’ll explore what it means to truly receive clarity, nourishment, and support.
This is a space for women ready to step away from daily demands and into deeper presence.
To learn how to work with sacred mushrooms in reverent, embodied ways.
To remember what it feels like to be held, by the land, by community, and by your own inner knowing.
Whether you’re new to this path or returning to it, you’re welcome here.

Your Sanctuary Awaits
Our retreats take place in a private healing hale (home), infused with intention and nestled within one of Oʻahu’s most beautiful and sacred neighborhoods. Surrounded by tropical abundance and just steps from the sea, this space was designed for deep rest, healing, and reconnection.
Here, the elements hold you.
The sunrise greets you.
And the stillness invites you back to yourself.
You’ll have access to lush gardens, outdoor gathering spaces, a private pool, steam room, treatment room, and fresh plant forward meals lovingly prepared by an Ayurvedic chef. Every detail of the home has been thoughtfully curated to create a sense of peace and belonging.
It is our joy and heartfelt intention that, when you arrive, you feel fully supported.
This is a place to be nourished.
A place to receive.
A place to remember the light within.

Your Lantern Holders
Aloha, I’m Anastasia
I curate spaces for women to return home to themselves.
As a psychedelic facilitator, ceremony weaver, and integration coach, I hold sacred containers for transformation—especially for women in seasons of transition, seeking deeper connection with their truth, their bodies, and their inner wisdom. I’ve walked alongside plant medicines for nearly two decades, guided by reverence, relationship, and deep trust in the healing intelligence within each of us.
I believe it is our birthright to explore consciousness and expand our capacity to feel, heal, and remember who we are beneath the noise.
This retreat is not about being "led." It’s about being lovingly supported as you soften, listen inward, and realign with what truly matters, within yourself, and within your life.
Whether you're navigating change, craving ceremony, or simply longing for time away to reconnect with your soul, I’m here to hold the lantern beside you as you tend the light within.
My Approach
• Trauma-informed, experience-rooted psychedelic support
• Nearly 20 years walking the path of plant medicine and healing
• Certified yoga teacher & psychedelic integration coach
• Trained in harm reduction, somatic care & sacred ceremony
• Deeply shaped by motherhood, grief, devotion, and awe
• Grounded in presence, not performance
