What is Bufo?+
It is by far, hands down, the single most profound entheogenic experience you can have on this planet. There is no doubt about it, after this. There is no questioning of who you are… there is no more thinking that you are your body or your mind… because once you experience this… your life will never ever be the same. There is just a gentle melting, merging, like making love with the Divine, and all of Creation… That opens you to understand and KNOW… that you are all of it.
Words can only point towards it – it has to be experienced directly to be understood.

For this profoundly transformative experience that’s awaiting you, and all the blessings that are yet to come.
Can I bring my child(ren) to the retreat? +
However, we understand this isn’t possible for some people, and don’t want this to be the stopping factor for you. In which case, there will be someone taking care of the children who is hand-selected by us and who we trust completely. Someone who is very conscious, patient and heart-centered, who communicates in a very kind and loving manner and has lots of experience with children.
Ultimately, as a father myself, I know how important it is that you can really trust who your child is with, and be able to really let go, to be able to be in your own experience. We will do everything we can, to ensure this is possible for you.
There will be an additional cost for childcare, which we are still in the process of clarifying. When you apply, please mention you would be interested in childcare, and we will followup with you with the necessary details.
