What is Bufo?+

Bufo Alvarius is a toad which is found in southern USA and northern Mexico. Shamans collect a secretion from its glands that is known to have the highest concentration of 5-MEO DMT, found in any animal or plant. This toad spends 8 months a year underground. This incredible time underground, in complete darkness, is what allows this amazing animal to create the 5-MEO DMT, which we then use as a smoke, in sacred ceremony, to allow the most profound dissolving into all of creation…

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.

What is Kambo? +

Kambo is a deeply cleansing and purifying medicine which has been used for thousands of years by many indigenous tribes in the Amazonian rainforest. It has a wide range of traditional and potential therapeutic applications, both medical and psycho-spiritual. The secretion is known for its powerful emetic or purgative effects and has been used to treat a wide variety of health problems, including depression, anxiety, chronic pain, Lyme’s Disease, cancer and other serious health problems. Kambo initiates a profound cleanse on all levels which leaves you feeling strong, clean, clear, energetic, alive and vibrant. It’ll profoundly catalyze the depth in which the other medicines are able to work their magic.

What is the housing arrangement like? +

We’ve consciously chosen to be tenting together during the retreats, deeply connected to the Earth as Tribe and Family. The land and retreat center are so energetically magical and powerful, which is why we’re doing it here. We’ll provide everything you possibly need to be very comfortable during this experience, including a private tent, air bags and sleeping bag. Of course there are regular showers and toilets available, and all other necessities. This will truly be an unforgettable and life-changing experience, leaving profound ripples in all areas of your life.

How many people will be attending each retreat? +

This will depend entirely on the interest, but the maximum number of guests per retreat is 18. With 7 facilitators, we keep our ratio of facilitators to guests, at less than 3:1, to hold the strongest energetic container possible, for each person to be able to go as deep as they need to, while still feeling so held and contained.

Where and at what time are we picked up before the retreat? +

– At 2pm on Day 1 of the retreat, we will coordinate a pickup at the Mexico City International Airport (MEX). Upon registration, we will tell you exactly what gate to meet at, and give you all necessary information to ensure you are on this transport with us.

Note: Please coordinate your flight to arrive in Mexico City, by 1pm local time or earlier.

Option 2: At a recommended hotel

– Upon confirmation of your registration, we will send you a list of recommended hotels. In case you want to arrive a day earlier, these are all selected to be nearby the airport, affordable, and comfortable. Our transport will pick you up at your selected hotel, around 2:15-2:30pm (after picking up guests at the airport).

Note: To get to your hotel, we recommend you use the Uber mobile app, and ensure you have international data on your phone

How do I prepare myself beforehand? +

To gain the most out these 6 days together, it’s important you adequately prepare yourself in mind, body and spirit. Once you register, we will send you a detailed document for how to best prepare, on every level possible.

What do I need to bring? +

Please make sure you bring the following items:

    – Comfortable clothes for both warmer and colder weather.

Especially during ceremonies, we recommend loose clothing.

    – Hat for the sun
    – Flashlight
    – Journal
    – Water bottle
    – Crystals/sacred objects
    – Toiletries, natural soap
    – Yoga mat
    – Towel
    – Mexican Pesos exchanged beforehand in the US
    – Creative materials, optional

Also, please bring something of emotional or spiritual significance which you are willing to let go of, as an offering to the land. This is such a powerful and beautiful way of starting the retreat, from a place of deep gratitude for the spirits and ancestors of the land. 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? +

Ideally, to give yourself the gift of really being with your Self, it would be ideal for you to be able to come alone. This will allow you to really feel, and go deep into the process that you are embarking on within.

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.
