Highly recommended
Isa is the most amazing Shaman you could ask for. She has nothing but love and guides you through the process start to finish. At no point do you feel unsafe and at all points all you feel is love! This experience is highly rated and I intend to return one day.

(Also thank you Tarek!! :D)

Bufo experience Mazunte with Isa
Isa was very good at helping me feel so comfortable and safe. Her way with the tea bath and spirit cleanse allowed me to open up fully to be ready to embrace all that came.
The journalling really helped me to focus on what I needed to focus on.
I released so much anger.
I just feel so much more at peace with my faults and with my strengths. I don’t put up with what I use to any more, I love myself deeper and I strive for better because of it and I thank Isa for all of this. I will go back one day. Thank you Isa.

So much more than I could have imagined
Thanks to Isa for creating the perfect space for transformation, while allowing the guest the freedom to have their own moments with god. I’m already planning my next trip to see her down in Mazunte and strongly recommend her guidance and powerful presence to any seeking a deeply profound experience!

What I was looking for
While I don't think psychedelics are for everyone, and it is important to be honest with yourself and your guide / host, I did find this to be exactly what I needed. My experience was primarily an emotional release. I had been particularly affected by symptoms of my CPTSD and BPD following the end of my marriage and triggered into being stuck in unexpressed grief, anxiety, dissociation, and emotional paralysis. I had the intention of moving my stuck energy and seeking clarity. I surrendered to the road medicine - which I think was important because it is very powerful. I felt safe and grounded in my intention though I was naturally a little nervous in anticipation. Just laying on a mat on the ground in Isa's backyard in San Agustinillo after having done the allusions and prayers and meditation. My experience was that it came on strong and right away I was transported somewhere else. I don't remember anything else except that I engaged with my grief and the paradox of my inability to let go or stay with a marriage that was no longer working. I wept and cried more than I ever have and subsequently was able to slowly shift my emotional dynamic. Much of that work was through some somatic work beginning with Ximena Hridaya also in San Agustinillo - and my masseuse and psychotherapist back home. My only qualm was my wrong expectation that there would be more in the way of integrative work included but I understand now that that is a larger process that I needed to facilitate with other helpers, which I did. Thank you Isa for holding and protecting the space for me to have this important and healing experience!

My first Bufo Alvarius Experience and It's Beautiful.
I’ve done a couple of research before I found Isa. And I truly am blessed to have met her. I love how detailed and articulate she is in introducing the process and preparation for me months before the ceremony. My one-to-one session was intimate and personal, she held the space for me in a safe and peaceful environment, giving me all the breathing space I needed to experience and coming into contact when I needed her guidance. She’s wonderfully powerful and amazing. A truly life-changing revelation, I am in bliss. Thank you very much Isa. :)

Mission & Vision

Bufo Alvarius Institute was born out of deep gratitude for the medicine and the longing to share its power and healing benefits in a safe and sacred way. While Bufo Alvarius Institute is our official name, our magical name is Alva Nura, which means luminous birth. We feel deeply inspired by the profound impact this sacred medicine has and we are honoured to guide you in your personal methamorphosis, such that you can be reborn into the light.
